I was aware of my comment being close to one of those too typical "here's what's wrong with this post" comments, but you hit on two things that aggravate me the most in our community and I'm a bit of a pusher of the whole "work smarter, work less, get more done" line of thinking in general.

"the investor seeing me as tired, without knowing it was because of the intensely productive and long week I had just come out of"

That's why I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I figured this was part of your meaning and why you put the sports analogy in there. I'm with you 100% here, but when you drifted towards the glorification of long hours and threw in a "changing the world" (I hate this delusion with a passion, but you should obviously get a pass because with Hands.org you are one of the very few actually trying to do good) I got a bit snarky.
