"Working like a dog will only get you a bone. Work like a wolf, that'll get you meat."

I enjoy reading and having this type of sub where substance matters; it has become my expectation that there will be quality (good or bad) reading to be had. After reading the quote and seeing nothing, I was disappointed. So, to help add something to what you shared I’d like to tell you what I took it to mean.

DOG/BETA A guy who keeps his head down, does as he’s told, doesn’t make waves, and follows the ‘expected’ path (Date, Marry, Kids, House, Car, stuff…) then he will die happy. This is not the case, and the bone is a life full of disappointment, repressed emotion, and probably a regret filled deathbed.

WOLF/ALPHA Keeps his head high to face the world that is coming at him, out works everyone, sees bosses as pegs that he will pass, embraces confrontation as he is not willing to compromise his beliefs or lower his standards. Refuses to reward failure in women and will let them stay only if worthy, follows passions, raises next generation of Alphas, meat dies knowing there was nothing more to give.

While a nice quote, perhaps providing an scenario where this is actually applied would be helpful. Or what's the story that led you to find this quote. Or what is the kind of man/woman that provided you with it.

Quotes are abundant, especially on the internet. One great thing about this sub is we try to keep it with as little low-effort posts as possible. Other subs you'd see people responding with "Nice quote, brightened up my day!" or "This is exactly what I needed to get through shit at work!" or something along those lines.

But a week later they'd be right back where they were. Having an illustration of the quote will make you, the OP, actually put in work to add value to the sub, while actually impacting the lives of other people in a more meaningful (and lasting) way.

I was posting this just to boost your morale,to be better,sure I could write an article,but not alot of people would give a shit.
