The Sense of Achievement!

I am sure almost every one of us is familiar with the title for today's post.  Indeed, almost all of us are slackers by default BUT when we actually accomplish something, even a sloth can shout hurray.  So, does it pay to work your ass off and not having any entertainment at all?  Well, the answer is quite obvious but I will say it in case you guys don't know.  The answer is....*drum rolls*....YES!  Well, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But think about it from another angle, if you work like an ox today, you are actually paving your own future ahead of you.  If you slack off now, your future will only look bleaker by the second.  On the contrary, if you strive now and don't give in to the temptations of entertainment, buddy, your future is pretty much set.

So, back to the topic.  A sense of achievement is pivotal if you want to develop one's mental fortitude.  As they say, one who always experiences failure will in the end turn into a failure himself.  Don't ask me who said that, I just hear about it from old folks and I assume that this is the common knowledge all of us should know.  Even as a child, we all like to achieve the target and expectation set for us.  This is because that will make us feel competent and at the same time, earn the praise of the person who set the target for us.  Talk about double the joy.  That is why whenever you see someone fails, never sneer or condescend them but learn from them and scrutinise yourself for any similar mistakes.  You never know, you might be the next person sitting on the bench mopping.

With all that's said and done, don't give up on your endeavours.  Sure they won't pay off immediately but the joy, satisfaction and pride that follow the completion are astounding!  So, here's a small picture of the thing I have completed.  Woohoo!
