I just heard a scoop on radio. It was talking about an article on Forbes.com. The article was about celebrities who are under 30 years old and making the most income last year. The winner is Beyonce. She made about $87 millions last year. When I heard the scoop, I was thinking that if there are people who are making $30,000 a year while there are some that make almost a hundred million a year, there is something to think about here.

From the above paragraph, I think that there are 2 issues here that we need to think about. The first one is "Have we work hard enough?” The second is "If we work hard enough, have we put our effort in the right job?" And when we can answer both questions, we will have used our full potential.

I think that both questions are equally important. Winners do work hard and work in a smart way. They'll the most result out of their effort. On the other hands, losers take the second question as an excuse for the first question. If you don't get it, think about the following sentence. "I will not put my effort into it unless I know that it's worth it."

The sentence sounds good and reasonable. However, if you think about it carefully, it's like saying that "I will not plant this seed unless I know that it will grow into a tree". For sure, you know that if you plant some seeds, they'll grow. But, you cannot know which seed will grow and which will not, unless you grow it. If you don't put your effort into anything, how will you know that anything will work?

Sure, we don't want to waste our effort and we can never be too careful. But, don't let it go to over thinking and prevent you from pursuing your dream.
