sometimes some people ask me why i work so hard. why do i go to such great lengths to do work when i don’t have to? what drives me to do so? is it because i’m a workaholic? is it because i’m crazy in the head? perhaps a little insane in the membrane?

no. i think the reason why i work so hard is because i take pride in my work. i go the extra mile because i want to differentiate myself from the others. i don’t want to do just the bare minimum to get by. at the end of the day, i’m trying to make my contribution noteworthy. i’m trying to make a difference. i guess what motivates me is that all of this extra work that i do does get noticed, does get appreciated, and does get rewarded.

so yeah, i might work a lot but i think it’s because i get a lot out of it. some people complain about how they are underappreciated or overworked, and i guess it makes me wonder….i guess they feel this way because the level of expectation is different for them. i believe that i’m trying to impress my employer instead of just doing my job. that’s how i believe you get ahead.
