I don't expect that I can work hard. I do my best to avoid the laziness. Yes, I am only 21 and have much to learn. But my experience told me, it is not that one work so hard to get success, instead, it is that the rest of us just too lazy to pursuit what we really want.
- technoguyrob 18y agoI think mediocrity is sort of the complement to laziness, in that respect. For example, settling for a cubicle job that drains you because you don't think you can do anything better or don't want to--that's still "laziness" in the way you're describing.
- josefresco 18y agoIf I could tell my 21 year old self one thing it would be: Just be consistent with your work and build upon something, it will pay off for you. Don't work feverishly on something for months/days and then slack for months/days expecting your hard work to pay off. It's no so much 'slow and steady wins the race", fast and steady can win lots of races, the important part is steady.
- rthomas6 18y agoMy problem is trying to find which things I want to devote effort to. (I am also 21). Right now I try to put as much effort as I can toward every part of my life, and I usually become burnt out very quickly and get stuck in a sort of "waiting place" for a month or two. If I could figure out some solid priorities as far as what I really want to devote my effort to, I feel like it would pay off a lot in the long run. Right now I'm still trying to figure out how to do that...
