Most people work hard and get paid for their efforts. How much they’re paid depends on way too many variables; but what they become by it is within their grasp.
· Work hard.
· Get experience.
· Become good at it.
· Become known for it.
· Become a source for others.
What are your unique contributions; that’s a question that few can easily answer. You don’t have to be a genius, but you might be one who others call for advice or guidance. For things like: what ingredients you put in your soup, how you stay upbeat all the time, how to make things, what you do or say to inspire people, how to dress for success, what to drive, relaxing places to visit, where to go for a great meal, or what you think about a certain something (fill in the blank)… you get the drift: there are all kinds of things you might know that others might like to learn. Being known, admired, or cherished for something is an honor. You gain that by the hard work you do, the experiences you’ve had, or the things you know or can do. Big or little, doesn’t matter. Someone wants to learn something and you’re the one they ask. Work hard and become good at what you do today.
John Ruskin (1819-1900): American Poet, Writer, and Art Critic
