It Is Never Boring To Work Hard At Any Age

“I believe in hard work and luck, and that the first often leads to the second.” J.K. Rowling

It Is Never Boring To Work Hard At Any Age

It pays to work hard at any age

There is something down to earth about being a respected author and people can find change when they are like J.K. Rowling. There is something that amassed the leaders and followers to the story that is Harry Potter and there is something that is accomplished when you believe the concept of writing an award-winning book series.

It pays when it comes to working for pennies but there are artists, writers and musicians that know first hand the creative circle and the extreme conditions they find themselves in. You can stand your ground and know the in's and out's of a certain life but the whole procedure of finding success is the norm.

Today, many people can find a job once they graduate from a college or university, but becoming popular and rich can take some time or if they are not all that lucky then this won’t come at all. For seventeen years, J.K. Rowling told us her life story and the story of the wizardly world of Harry Potter and yet when you do research on her, you can sense that success only comes to the few.

It can also mean that she was chosen. It may have created a debate whether a person can seal their future by being academic or if they must start from the bottom. Any parent can imagine their child being successful but to achieve success you need to understand who you are as a person and know your failures.

Like J.K. Rowling, it may have been admirable to beat poverty but it really helped measure her success. She took it seriously and felt like an incredible person to look up to. It took a few steps to believe in courage but after doing something you love, you can understand the knowledge and connection with others in the world.

It may be surprising that millennials will probably not get out of debt but will celebrate their graduation with firm joy. It may not be the world they are expecting to work in but they can be brave and just give it their all and work their way up. It is something that can constitute either disappointment or scrutiny. At times, it is detected in their graduation walk that they can see what their lives will be like as a worker in the real world but almost instantly you can see for yourself that previous generations have already found that niche.

In fact, it is indicated in our genes. It reminds us of our livelihood and the feelings or emotions that are conjured inside. To work hard at any age even for J.K. Rowling isn’t fun but it can find a place for you in this world while also saving face. It will keep you sane and not overwhelmed and makes you alert. Even when life moves faster and faster. Work can bring out the good in us all.

You can see it with this quote from J.K. Rowling

“I believe in hard work and luck, and that the first often leads to the second.”

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
