Working hard is essential to living a fulfilling life, but I don't think it's a life worth living unless you're having an equal amount of fun. I've read many times that hard work is the key to success, which is true, but it's not the key to happiness. To quote a fictional psychopath, "all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy." Being a nice person also helps one to be successful.

I'm not a great worker. I procrastinate and have trouble finding motivation, but when I start a project that I love I can really get into it (or when I'm getting paid). I like to make paperclip sculpture things, and I love doing tech stuff, volunteering at church running cameras and projectors, and I really like to cook but I need to practice much more. One thing I'm very grateful for is I'm young and have a lot of time to work on working harder. Other things I'd like to work harder on: learning bass guitar, working out, making more friends, getting a job. Anyways, I got my work cut out for me.

Hey Sam, totally agree with you here. Having fun is definitely important when you're working hard. I'm a terrible procrastinator as well, and it can be very difficult to get motivated to do work, unless it's something I love. I thinki it's really cool that you run tech for your church. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do. I love it when I make something yummy and than I can share it with my family and friends. Also, what's a paper clip sculpture? Blog a photo maybe? Hahaha well see ya in class.
