Hello friends,
Today I will share a story based on hard work in which a man telling a story of his mentor.
He was telling that one of his mentor who is 71 years old is an entrepreneur. His mentor started working since he was 12 years. He never thought of retiring.
His mentor told him that he love to die working. His mentor's words are that " people will tell you that hard work is bad for your health and which will damage your relationships with your family, so you should work less. Don't listen just ignore them. Those people don’t enjoy their work, and they try to convince you of their fallacy.”
Then the author start thinking on the words of his mentor. Author was telling that when he first met his mentor five years ago, he don't understood why his mentor work seven days a week at his age. He was thinking that is he work hard to earn money, reputation, escapism!!!
Author's mentor saying that when people ask the question that why would you work hard? His mentor don't get it. Because he love to work hard.
Than author saying that few years later when he was watching documentary about the Boston Celtics, he saw a quote which was on his gym.
Then he understood that his mentor Don't work hard because of the external motivation.
People don't understand the value of hard work because they think hard work is about ego, escapism or money.
The quote which author saw in the Jim was stuck for always in his brain. And when ever he think of give up, he think of that question, because work is not always fun. Author said he choose the pain of of hard work every single time.
Author's mentor said he don't work hard to get rich, he do because it gives me pleasure. He never wanted to look back and regret that he wasted his previous time.
Most of the people don't understand that life is long either you work hard or go home. That is called self deception. He said you born yourself out and start resenting hard work.
Actually doing rest always is not complicated just be cool don't take life seriously and enjoy every day.
Don't work too much, don't put pressure on yourself. Mental fatigue is more painful than physical strain.
What if you don't like your job?... Just find another work. But do hard work don't influence with other people's thoughts or there bad experience.
Author said when his mentor reached 65 his family tried to make him stop working. His mentor said his family is little selfish but that's totally fine, it's his job to explain them why he wants to keep doing work. They will understand.
The Question where the whole story is based is :-----
WHAT HURTS MORE? THE PAIN OF HARD WORK OR THE PAIN OF REGRET?
