Hinckely's Insight on Work

"Industry, enthusiasm, and hard work lead to enlightened progress. You have to stay on your feet and keep moving if you are going to have light in your life." This quote by President Hinckley impressed me the most in that article. That was something he learned after using a Model T car. He knew that the more energy and the faster the engine was going the brighter the lights would be. And that's how he related it to our lives and the work that we have to do. To have light in our lives we need to be productive and always working. I think this is so meaningful to me because most times I'm searching reasons to have the motivation to be productive. Sometimes I can just get so tired of it and really can't stand having so much work to do. And yet when I'm lazy I don't always feel better. But to know that work is another way that we can have light in our lives is comforting and it gives me just another excuses to push through and get things done. It's not easy to be productive but it's a lot harder to be productive if you're not motivated. So this insight that President Hinckley brings to my attention is just another reason that can make me motivated to be a hard worker. Like I said hard work can really be a pain, but what always helps me is to think about the end product. When I think about getting tough and hard assignments done for a class and that always seems to overwhelm me, instead I think about why I'm working so hard. Mostly it's so I can pass the class and don't have to take it again, or it might just be so that I don't lower my GPA. Or even I can think that once I get this out of the way I can get into the classes that more specifically have to do with my major. That's sometimes how I have to get through a hard assignment is to think of the rewards I get in the end and how it will benefit me in the future. Thinking of the end results is what makes me work hard for them.
