Hard Work Pays Off Posted by Hannah on January 27th, 2010

I don’t know if I believe that statement to always be true, but I do believe it to be true some times. :)

For example, there’s my job. It’s not something I often discuss in detail as, quite frankly, it’s difficult to truly explain since I’m always doing something different. However, I work hard every day. Yes, I get to listen to my iPod, watch movies on it and, some times, discuss video games and other nerdy things with my boss while working, but I have a lot of work to do. I don’t get a break. It’s usually five straight hours of work. It hurts my back and neck, and kills my already aching wrists from carpal tunnel. But here’s the thing: I know I will always have a job, so long as I want it.

I’ve been there for a year now and it’s been well worth it. I have a semi-steady income, totally flexible hours and a boss that’s not totally evil. Actually, for a while, she was making me want to quit for being so mean all the time, but she’s not that way any more. She trusts me because of all the hard work I put in for her company. She knows that, without that work, her business would have a really rough time keeping up and would have major issues for her.

But my hard work is what gives me my flexible schedule. I may not get paid on time like…ever, but my job is great. I spend all day being creative in a lot of ways and I watch a lot of movies, TV shows and other possible pieces of media on Hagrid (my jumbo iPod). XD

I’ve found a lot of times in my life where that work I put in paid off in a major way. The last show I did back in December practically killed me and drove me to really bad exhaustion, but I got paid $50 doing it and I had a lot of fun, in the end. Now I’m in this other show, Tartuffe (an amazing brilliant and class comedy), which is going to be the hardest of all in terms of, well, everything. The costumes are going to be tight and still huge, the hair will be very difficult and the lines are all in rhyme. But, on top of all of that, I have to be a sighing lover. I’ve never been that type of person, ever. My character is totally the opposite of me, and I love it.

I’m hoping, this time, that the hard work will not only pay off in terms of making me more versatile, but that I may even be lucky enough to get a good review in the newspaper. :)

I challenge everyone to work your hardest even if you know nothing will come out of it immediately, you will always find yourself looking back at that work smiling and remembering of all that you learned from it. :) I’ve always been a hard worker and I’m damn proud of that because I believe that to be one of the main reasons I am who I am today. :) Nothing gets to me because I know, eventually, that I will overcome it. Some goals just take a little more work than others. :)

    How about another post like this? I thought it was interesting. I’ve only found one place that doesn’t cost anything to sign up, it has paid surveys worth more than a few bucks each, and you can actually make like $10 right after signing up. Companies will pay through the nose for opinions, I say cash in on it.
