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.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
