That friend who told me to just 'power through' a cold was dead wrong

Last month I had a pretty bad cold and a buddy of mine kept saying I should just push through and keep working like normal. Said it would make me tougher or something. I listened to him and tried to finish a fence install over two days. Ended up making a mess of the measurements, had to redo a whole section, and lost about 8 hours of work plus material costs. Should've just taken the two days off and rested instead of trying to be a hero. Anyone else get bad advice from someone who doesn't freelance?
