When was the last time you worked really hard to achieve something?

Question

MCheetah · Accepted Answer

Tried to make plans to meet with a girl this Saturday (most likely platonically, but with the very small possibility of something more happening). Plans that were in effect for nine days now. She tells me on Wednesday night that she doesn't feel like it, after I re-arranged everything to meet her in another city and all. I worked hard for us to have our meeting, and she cancels it out of cold feet.

But if you mean something that matters, I worked really hard to get my current job. I left the last one September 1st after being there since January, and had been looking for a new job since March. So from March to September, I was searching for a better job and only got this one ten days before my last day at the previous job. So, at the last minute after six months of job searching. I really like this job, though. The same franchise of Korean academies, but in a new location with an actual competent staff and management. It's an upgrade, for sure. And the faculty like me, unlike the last job. I'm just afraid something will go wrong, or I'll get fired soon, because it all seems to be "too smooth," and nothing good in my life lasts very long.

It wasn't exactly hard work but I DID work on it a long time and quite diligently! I was trying to get Woodstock edited together and burned to CD in time for the 52nd anniversary. I actually made it with almost a week to spare when, from the time I started, I thought I might even still be working on the last day's worth during the first day or two! That was from mid July to mid Aug. this year.

I never felt pressurized because I take thing in cool way. I do work hard but never go too hard that I will feel a burden. I think last time I worked really hard for a quiz in our school in fact I'm starting now. I really want to get to the final level at least for this quiz. And if we talk about past then when it was science exhibition and I was the leader but my teammates didn't co-operate with me so it was all waste of time and sleepless nights that I sacrificed for it because. I really wanted to built a great team my aim wasn't winning a prize but to do the best along with the teammates because we they could have got additional grades in the test for it but all was a waste.(there was nothing for leader but he/she can keep the e-award).

I moved out to LA about 9 months ago and things did not start off well. i was living out of a car and completely homeless. I knew that I didn't want to end up on skid row. I landed myself a temporary job and even though I had no access to a shower or bathroom.. my only goal was to just show up. So I did just that and then from there would work as hard and as best I could at my duties. 3 months later I was offered a permanent position with my own title and pay the6 made just for me. And ever since I have worked hard everyday for that job because they saved me from the streets :)

I am doing it right now in completely different areas.

Writing an article I hope to sell about a recent event due to the hurricane.

Painting and cleaning my immediate family's tomb for All Saints Day: requires sanding, chipping off all limestone paint from more than a century ago, filling cracks in the concrete, getting out ladder, drop cloths, hauling paint, brushes... Been doing it for the past week.

Started painting first room of seven on the inside of my house. Plan to have that done in the next four weeks: before Thanksgiving. If weather's still temperate, may sand and prime one side of outside of my house too. Nothing more lovely than a well painted and cared for house..

I’ve been trying to become an author for around 19 months now and I came up with 36 book ideas, some of which can be subdivided into 66 more book ideas or more, that was tough. I also read 950 pages in one day earlier this year or late last year. It took me between 12-18 hours to do but I don’t remember the exact number. Even though writing books has been tough, I think my old job was harder cause I had feet pain almost every shift.

After years of having a crap phone, I'm currently working hard to just buy the latest and greatest shiny new phone outright so it will hopefully last a couple years. I have medical bills so saving money is difficult, but I am determined for the sake of my small business because it really would help.

Fireguy17 · Answer

The last time we worked a code, or a major trauma you are giving it your all to try to save that person's life.
Afterwards you are pretty much physically and emotionally spent, but have to pick yourself up and answer the next call, because that person also deserves 110% of what you can do for them.

Beginning of the year. Lost a close family member a year ago. I had to crawl back out of grief to get something done. One of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Was physically sick at two points, but managed to hide it. Mission accomplished too.

All of last year and the start of this one. Had a lot of medical therapy to work through to get as close to where I was before I serious accident. Though working hard is my normal. So the medical therapy was just a different form of it I suppose.
