Hard work We hear a lot about hard work these days. How if we work hard we should be able to make a living. Or that something is wrong with the “system” if we don’t. I agree with the idea of hard work, but think we need to define it a bit: • Some hard work is […]
“One thing I want to make sure young people everywhere know is that it doesn’t matter where you grow up, or whether you go to a big or small college, everyone who works hard and keeps their eyes and ears open at all times for opportunities can and will succeed.” Dana Perino on Facebook in […]
WORK!! WHY DO WE HATE IT SO MUCH? I think that at some point in our lives many of us have wished we didn’t have to work. I know I have, mostly on specific days when I wanted to do something else. But I would claim that I have enjoyed every job I ever had […]
