Set the scene: I’m sitting in paul next to a cute old woman reading a storybook in German. The PAUL logo is falling down, and I can’t stop placing bets as to how many days it will take to fall on the bakers head. 4 days 3hrs 46 mins $50?
This is a bunch of letters strung together to make sense to nobody else but me. As I turn the astonishing age of 25, I have come to think of an assemblage of triumphs, defeats and teachings. So what better way to start my new year with 5 questions to ask yourself or others?
1. What does hard work really mean?
I mean, rodents, clobbers, a Mackenzie suit man and baristas work remarkably hard. They work hard to protect their habitat, fed their families or egos and spread their infectious world views or disease. But I see a purpose in separating the hard from the duties. It’s dutiful to feed your soul, family and educate yourself. Whether you take the challenging route or the easy pathway, does it really matter?
My definition of hard work: Setting your purpose and intentions beforehand and achieving what you set out without giving up all without wearing socks.
My definition of easy work: Bullshitting, half-assed deliverables and poor font choice (am guilty).
