Hard Work
Highly
successful people love to work hard. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods practiced
for 12-15 hours per day to reach their skill level. Bill Gates worked 20-hour
days for years. Thomas Edison built thousands of unworkable light bulbs before
discovering one that worked.
When you have no problem working hard, you can accomplish great things. You have
self-respect and pride. You reach your goals.
Ten Excuses for Not Working Hard
1. "Everyone else is taking it easy."
2. "I thought we're supposed to work smarter, not harder."
3. "I have a medical condition."
4. "I'm a boss and bosses don't have to work hard."
5. "Hard work takes up my valuable energy."
6. "I don't get paid enough."
7. "I don't have the time for it right now."
8. "Once the boss sees you can work hard, you have to do it all the time."
9. "I'll work hard when I feel like it."
10. "Hard work leads to workaholism."

"Be Industrious"
"Work is not always pleasant.
"But few are unhappier than those who lead a purposeless, idle and bored
existence. . . "
"Sorrow itself can be eased by simply getting busy at something."
Morale is boosted to high highs by accomplishment. In fact, it can be
demonstrated that production is the basis of morale."
-- L. Ron Hubbard from The Way to Happiness
Ten
Ways to
Be More Industrious
1. Decide to work hard for just five minutes to see how you feel. Then another
five minutes and so on.
2. Set a deadline for yourself and try to beat it.
3. Consider how much better the future will be if you work hard now.
4. Force yourself to get started. Once you have some momentum going, you'll get
more done.
5. Arrange for a reward for your extra hard work. For example, "As soon as I
finish all these reports, I'll buy an expensive dinner." "I won't be going to
the movies until I clean out the garage."
6. Break large tasks into smaller and smaller tasks until you feel comfortable
about doing the first tiny task. Do it immediately. Then the next one and so on.
7. Tell three people you will accomplish a difficult task. It will be more
difficult to admit you failed than to just do the job.
8. Break a personal production record for no other reason than to break a
personal production record.
9. Mentally do the entire task before starting. You will work out how you will
do the work and can see it will not be too difficult.
10. Realize you will be working for eight hours anyway. Why not be as
industrious as possible?
In this day and age, hardly anyone dies of hard work. For most people, hard work
makes you feel better about yourself. It helps you get over personal problems.
It gives you something to be proud of.
All successful business owners, managers and staff members work hard. They push
through or ignore their mental barriers. They complete projects as fast as
possible and dive into their next project.
Hard work is vital to your morale, superior accomplishment and high pay. It's
the engine in your rocket to your goals. It pushes you above the average person.
No one succeeds without it.
