Question:

I’ve noticed on social media a trend for successful people to post what seems almost like a templated sentiment. It goes something like this:

“If you don’t come out of this with (a) a new skill, (b) more knowledge or (c) a side hustle, it’s not because you didn’t have time. It’s because you didn’t have discipline.”

Is pre-emptively berating people for a lack of discipline a good idea at this time?
