“Run towards the hardest problems—not walk, run—and that’s where you find the biggest opportunities, where you learn the most, where you set yourself apart, and most importantly, where you grow.”

That is so representative of your run of the mill LinkedIn garbage. Peak motivational poster material.

Even if it was meant sincerely, how does that approach work any better in 2026 than it would have in 2006, 1986, 1966?

It's a TED-talkified variation of "trust me, all you need to be is a hard worker, kiddo."

And as such, it completely misses the point of what gen z is griping about.
