Egyptian astronaut Sara Sabry in an interview with Fortune spoke about her work ethic and advice for GenZ<\/a> in the workforce. Sharing her learning from the Blue Origin mission, the space engineer said GenZ \u201cquits when they are uncomfortable\u201d, and encouraged them to instead \u201cmake sacrifices\u201d and \u201cput yourself through discomfort\u201d in order to achieve success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see a lot of young people now\u2014they\u2019re wanting to take the easy route without working so hard. But the truth is, you have to make the sacrifices. You have to put yourself through a lot of discomfort,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

Sabry holds the distinction of being the first Arab<\/a> and African woman in space, noted that discomfort \u201cmeans you’re doing something great\u201d.<\/p>\n

On her work ethic and success<\/p>\n

According to 32-year-old Sabry, she puts in 13 hours of work daily and juggles three jobs, including her non-profit \u2018Deep Space Initiative\u2019. She is of the school of thought that work-life-balance doesn’t exist.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially Gen Z, whenever they start feeling discomfort, they stop. We millennials<\/a> know that there\u2019s no such thing as work-life balance. My career is my life, my life is my career. I would never be at peace if I wasn\u2019t working so hard,\u201d she told Fortune.<\/p>\n

Sharing her secret to facing discomfort, Sabry said practice makes perfect. \u201cThe longer you hold onto the uncomfortable position, the more you\u2019ll feel the benefits later,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Learning from Blue Orgin training: Shift mindset from negative to positive<\/p>\n

She recalled the training before taking off on Blue Origin<\/a>‘s New Shepard rocket on August 4, 2022, stating that she trained herself to become at ease.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can make yourself excited about it. We have so much control over our minds, it\u2019s ridiculous that they\u2019re not teaching us this in school. A lot of the astronaut training that I had to do was psychological<\/a>; it was all about switching these moments of stress with visualising a peaceful place,\u201d Sabry says about the discomforting and hard parts.<\/p>\n

According to her, it is an easily adaptable skill for anyone. \u201cSwitch the discomfort from negativity to positivity. And you know that because you\u2019re feeling discomfort and because you\u2019re feeling you\u2019re getting resistance, that it means you\u2019re actually doing something great\u2014and if what you\u2019re doing wasn\u2019t big enough, then you wouldn\u2019t get so much resistance, or you wouldn\u2019t feel this much discomfort,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Egyptian astronaut Sara Sabry in an interview with Fortune spoke about her work ethic and advice for GenZ…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56148,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[42300,4536,114,42301,4197,85,46,3890,8985],"class_list":["post-56147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-astronaut-training","tag-blue-origin","tag-business","tag-discomfort","tag-gen-z","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-jeff-bezos","tag-work-life-balance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56147\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
