Three reasons to love work

Tag Archives: Work
I believe
I do believe. I believe in talent, determination and hard work. I believe that YOU are talented and that YOU can make a difference.
I believe that every person is born with talent.
Maya Angelou
This is not a stupid saying. Think about it: Every person is born with a talent. Talent meaning something you are good at and you like at the same time! That means you can make the world a better place by doing some job extremely well and at the same time you will be rewarded with a fun and awesome life.
But it is your decision. Don’t hold back, don’t settle for mediocrity! Find your passions and your talents and work on them. Practice, Practice, Practice!
Enjoy,

Dedication!
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
Walt Disney
Don’t take this literally, love who you want. But isn’t this quote amazing and powerful? This is the spirit you’ll need to start a legacy!
LOVE your work! If you do not love your current work see it as a stepping stone for your dreams. Earn money in order to realise your dream projects so that one day you’ll work for fun rather than for money.

Become an expert!
An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.
Niels Bohr
Having wide spread interests is awesome. Also awesome is being genuinely good at one thing. Therefore find your passion and work till you pass out!
Becoming a professional means making mistake after mistake and not quitting. Then after some time you know more about your job than any other person because they quit at some point and you pushed through!

A core aspect of motivation
If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.
Steve Jobs
No matter what one thinks of Apple and their products, Steve Jobs was a genius!
This quote is especially important for entrepreneurs and bosses. Why? Because they have to motivate either themselves or their employees or both.
You do not have to push your employees to be awesome as long as they work on awesome projects. If they have some freedom and work on interesting projects they will gladly rip themselves apart for your company.
Same goes for yourself: Always chose awesome over mediocre! If there is the possibility for an awesome project that might seem too big at the first glance better take a shot at it than step down and do a simpler one. You can do it and the reward will be waking up every morning motivated and pumped to start the day!
Keep awesome and interesting projects on your bucket list in order to make your life fun and interesting, both for you and the people around you.
Don’t settle. Don’t be okay with mediocre. Go for awesome, go for legendary, go for your dreams no matter how crazy they may be.
See you at the top!

Don’t rely on your talents
It is our choices…that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
J. K. Rowling
You know I could if I just wanted. I’m super intelligent and stuff.
This bullshit attitude is what kills the dreams of many people out there day by day.
You can not do it untill you have done it! Never say “I could do it if I wanted to“, because obviously you can’t, even if the simply lack of will is holding you back.
There are people who decide to work hard and achieve things and there are people who just say they could because they were lucky to be born intelligent, good-looking or especially talented. Therefore good attributes to begin with often stand in the way of people, which is paradox but true.
Don’t be one of those people. Be the one who stays in late, who cleans up the mess, who runs the extra mile. You will get the extra reward, it’s just a matter of time.

It’s about attitude
Great effort springs naturally from a great attitude.
Pat Riley
Those lazy boys that always stand at the sideline and are best at watching other people work with hands in their pockets, they don’t acomplish much. Sometimes it may seem because against all sense those people are good at taking credit, but in the end only a work-hard attitude will result in great effort.

Fail, learn, fail better
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
Colin Powell
You are a human being, make use of that fact! You are able to learn from your mistakes and avoid them the next time. This ability is very important and too many people just don’t appreciate it enough. While preparation and hard work are concepts that take a little bit time to get used to, they still are understandable for most people. Failure on the other hand is like a stop-sign for most people, they accept it as final, which is in most cases bullshit!
Failing is life teaching you a lesson. You can take the lesson and start over again or you can go home and accept defeat. In both cases life will go on but only in one case you grow.
Decide to grow. Decide to learn! Decide to fail!
/phil
Just work!
The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.
Oprah Winfrey
It may feel good to wait for the big revealing of the secret. It may feel good to think that there is this magic trick that just brings you where you want to be without much effort.
Truth is it all comes down to hard work. Ask any successful person, they will tell you that hard work and hard work alone brought them where they are.
You can go there too! Stop waiting and awaiting, start working!
/phil
It’s about passion!
It is about finding out how you can make money with something you’re good at and you love. Why put up with the struggle to find a way to live like that you ask? Well because it’s damn worth it!
Living the dream means doing what you love and getting paid well for it. Of course being paid well is subjective and money is relative, but you definitely need some bucks to survive so better find seomthing you’re good at in order to make sure that you’ll have something to eat the next day.
Living a live that consists of sucky work-hours just in order to have some money for the precious free time is just a wrong concept. I don’t say it is debatable, I say it is wrong to have that little ambition! Reach for the stars, you just have to be persistent!
