NBA champion Metta World Peace revealed a lesson learned from the late Kobe Bryant: no matter how hard you work, someone else might be working harder. World Peace shared this insight at the Web Summit Qatar, recalling a time he tried to outwork Bryant, only to find the basketball legend had already finished his grueling gym session.
World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, recounted his experience in an interview with Fortune. He decided to arrive at the gym at 8 a.m., believing it was an early start. However, according to World Peace, Bryant was already showered and done with his workout. This experience underscored Bryant's dedication and work ethic, a key factor in his legendary career.
