I work hard in most things and it can pay off.  I admit that I do have my work e-mail connected on my phone....just in case I may be needed or questions need to be answered.  ;D

Yes, definitely pay off. I cannot gel with lazy people.

Unless you're set up at home, I don't bother. In my industry I can wait for Monday 99% of the time. On the rare occasion I need to go in on the weekend, I have keys to the building.

I do get to telecommute certain days, so that is nice.  I work with lawyers, bond counsels, and financial advisors so if a deal is going down, I may need to be available to respond to questions (if needed).  I’d hate to go into the office on the weekend, so I’m very fortunate I can do things from home.

You’re a lazy admin.  ;D

People looking at me and say why I'm working too hard.  I looked at myself and say, well I don't have a family, no wife, no kids so I'm allowed to do it now but when I do have that youngins, I'm slowing it all down to invest in my family. 

I looked at them and I'm like.  You guys pushing 12 hours a day, milking all that OT and has to come home and be a family person at home.  To me, that's 3 jobs.  Makes me feel a lot better thinking like that.   O0

Regarding working hard, it is all about a person's working ethics.  They acquired it throughout their life through struggles and setting their priorities straight. 

To some, working hard cuz they have ADD.   They can't sit still and needs to do something, anything.

To some like myself, I was a princess growing up.  No need to do chores, not even washing dishes or doing laundry.   Not even doing my bed.  No need to work either when you get good allowance growing up for doing nothing.  Typical old school traditional viet family where they think that the female in the family takes care of the household chores. 

Their biggest mistake.  After mommy died, guilt is the hardest thing for me to swallow.  With no one around to cater to my azz, I had to learn everything from scratch.  It then becomes addicted and makes me mad, even today that had I am equipped with these skills, I could have helped her. 

Everyone has a story I tell ya.  We are who we are by what already happened to us from yesterdays.  Playing catch up, that's hard work for me.

Working hard pays off.  I'm in a position where I try not pass 25hrs of actual work in a 40hr week.  The hard part is trying to look busy.  Most times, I "work" overtime just for the hell of it.  My motto, if I'm going to clock out a minute pass my regular schedule, I'm going on a 30min break, and then clock out.

No handouts. No complaints. Just simply hard work.

Respect and say thank you to the hard working generation and your elders who work hard and sacrificed everything to give you everything.

Thank you mom and dad.

Sad that people now-a-days want only handouts...

Growing up, we had both parents but they both work full time and can't really speak any English. We all had to get part-time jobs as soon as we can to survive (you all know Hmong people have lots of kids). I started working when I was 15yrs old at burger joint and during college I worked full time 3rd shift. Head straight to classes from work and sleep in-between classes. I had an alarm clock in my car for that... It was all worth it though because I had no student loan after graduating.
