Hard Work

I have been able to listen a few times lately to Neal Boortz, and while I don't subscribe to everything he says, I do enjoy hearing him talk about things like the Fair Tax and the importance of a strong work ethic. Today he talked about 80 hour work weeks and driving home in the dark.

I just don't think its possible to attempt and achieve great things (or true contentment) without proper dedication to hard work.

Three things are necessary:

1. Discipline: Working harder and longer than anyone else.

2. Perseverance: Fighting through adversity and negativity.

3. Discernment: Making the right decision, at the right time, for the right reason.

Especially when no one is watching.
