Do you believe that when you reach a certain point in your career that you should slack off? Like...if you worked your ass off to get to the very top and you put your all into it, and once you get to the top, you decide to start slacking off and not giving your all? And then if you fall from grace and go back to the bottom...you'll have to do all that hard work again.

The question here is this: Do you personally think once you make it to the top in anything (a career for example) should you start slacking off and letting yourself decline, or should you continue to work hard and prove and show everyone why you're on top? I've been thinking about this for awhile and finally came around to making a thread about it.

I personally feel as though you should keep working hard. True, everyone deserves a break (and you can take one) but that doesn't mean you have to decrease the quality of your work and or start slacking off and not giving a **** anymore. You may be at the top of your game but someone can come and easily knock you right back down to the bottom. What do you guys think?

You can't slack off, especially in the entertainment industry. Or any industry. Imagine if someone as innovative as Steve Jobs had slacked off because of Apple's success. The world wouldn't be the same!

I think as long as you want to keep up your career and make music you should work hard and try your best all the time.But you should be allowed to take time off if you need and slack as much as you want.

I think if you're at the top and you want to slack off, you buy an island and take a vacation. Don't slack off IN YOUR MUSIC. That's stupid.

No. When you half ass **** you get half ass results. If you're so damn tired and need a "break" take a literal break (maybe 6 months - year off). Don't be like "I'm tired and need a break so I'm going to give you guys whatever I feel like giving you."

In this day and age, where any hot, new young thing can SCALP your ass in a millisecond, there is NO room to slack off. Maybe you could get away with it in the 90s, but not in this millenium.

What kind of ****?

It's ok to slack off but not to the point when you lose all credibility and just throw everything away.

My thread is dead ....

Slacking off is a waste of time. I hate it so much. I'd rather work hard fulfilling something than doing nothing the whole day

If you've worked hard and saved up your money, I feel like you owe it to yourself to kick back and relax a bit.

Working hard. That sounds fun.
