Hard work

Nothing will EVER replace hard work.

All the degrees and education in the world will never take the place of good old fashion hard work.

To get ahead and to reap the most benefits you still need to put your head down and dig in and work.
Take pride in what you do and want to do it right for the sake of self satisfaction.
In the end you have to want to do it for yourself, not for your boss or for the money or for what others think or want. YOU have to want it. You have to find where your line is and then push past it.

That is when you begin to grow and learn.
When you accomplish something that you know was difficult and that you had to apply yourself and it pushes your boundary and your patience that is when you grow and appreciate what you do.

You will mess up.
You will lose your patience.
You will look back and possibly see where you could have done better.

That is ok- that is all part of the process-
