RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

WORK

 I don't know but it is my guess if you ask any student to describe what their dream job would be, you would get some of the following:  

  • make lots of money
  • have fun, enjoy it 
  • use my talents
  • have lots of time off
  • be able to see the world

Do you get the picture?  I'm guessing that finding a job where they could "work real hard" would be missing.  Working hard is so much better, so much more satisfying than having little work or being bored. 

Here's another angle on this.  I found it on the web by James Clear.  

"Whether you are an adult or child, your first attempts will often seem unimportant or foolish.

  • The open mic night at a nearly empty bar.
  • The early blog posts that get ignored.
  • The dance recital on a little stage.

Early attempts are easy to dismiss because they don't seem to amount to much. But you have to do the low stakes stuff to prepare for the high stakes stuff. They are the building blocks of confidence, and that's an enormous thing."

What is the point of all this?  Work hard!  It is a blessing to have work.  Reaching your dreams will require work.
