Work Hard For What You Want

In This Article:

More often than not, people will look at celebrities or influencers and want the same things they have. They wonder, "why was I not lucky enough to be born into money?" But what we forget is that yes, some are born rich, the others had to work for their wealth. Just like us.

I think it's a huge problem in our generation that we just expect outcomes. Or need instant gratification. But that is not realistic. In order to achieve your goals, you have to give some sweat and determination. Start small and plan out how to achieve your goals, and work on it step by step. And never lose focus. Things do not just magically happen. You make it happen.

Also, results do not appear overnight. Just like when you're on a diet or start working out, things take time. You cannot expect a promotion in a month at work. You just have to keep your head down, keep working, and then eventually you will see the results of your hard work.

The real world is not like a video game, it takes time and effort to gain wealth and move up in your field. If you want something, only you can work hard to gain it. Sitting and wishing something would happen will not make it happen. That will just make you want it more. Get up and work for it.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
