Are you a hard worker? How much do you rate yourself?

It is a cliche, hard - work always bring you great reward at the end. If you really want something for yourself, you should work hard for it. But how much hard work do you need to put up with it? It is unknown number. I want to work as hard as I can, but it seems what I want in life still not rewarded. I asked myself, maybe I didn't work hard enough. So, really how much hard work do you have to put up with. Can it be rated?

i consider myself as a so so..because it depends on the things that i want to achieve..if i really want something badly..i will take necessary steps to accomplish it..and i'm proud to say that i'm always getting what i want..if you have the initiative and enthusiasm..you will definitely be rewarded for your hardwork..just don't give up easily..it will all be worth it in the end..

I feel as if no matter how hard I work, it always seem to be not enough. On most days I think I'm basically a hard worker. Excepts on days when I'm really really depressed. But then again depression is a condition, and it's totally different from just being lazy or choosing not be hardworking.

I do not want to say that I am a hard worker. I however can be one if I choose to be. However, more times often than not, I am a creative worker. I pretty much get the most productivity out of the least work a lot of the times. Granted, there are times where this does not work out as plan. Still, there are times where you have to be creative and that is an area which I excel. I do think that some hard work is needed for certain areas of life. There are times where we got to dig down deep and work harder than we have ever worked before. Of course, a hard worker is something that is up for much debate. It really depends on the perspective that one. Truly, one person's hard worker could be another person's completely lazy person. So, I think that rating something like that is up for a lot of interpretation.

I am not a hard worker. I am so lazy at times that i just sit at tv or laptop or my playstation. I hate going to college and the only reason i go is to have fun. But if i am really determined then i will do any task and any problem can be handled easily. But i should be really determined and focused for that. On a blue moon only am i that good. Otherwise it's the old dude back again. I would rate myself 6/10.

thats true without hardwork nothing can be achieved at times you will work for sometime and will get results but at times even if you give more than 100 percent still you are not rewarded thats life but hardwork is the foundation without that nothing can be achieved

I comsider myself to be a hard worker. I try not to be selfish or lazy about hetting things done. When i set out to accomplish something, i try to do my best to complete it. There's nothing wrong with pushing yourself to be a hard worker. The results will speak for themselves.

yes i am. when i was employee.. i tried myself to be on top. ive been working in call center for about 1year then within 2 months ,, ive been transferred in a higher account. all i want to say and to share is .. if you want something to achieve, do whatever it takes. if you think you can beat people around you then do it. apply the law of attraction in short THE SECRET. if you know that then its good. if you dont know try to search in youtube. right now im in a business which is im using the secret as well. its so effective. and i believe that your mind can conceive your body can achieve. so think about you are the most and greatest employer and you will find out if you are there in your dreams and you will know when will happen. its always surprising .

As for me, I give my 100% in my work. When it's not enough, then i give my 130% more to it until my work is done. Persistence is the key to all my work that I've done. I rate myself, not to mention, a Grade A. Thanks!

I will be honest and everybody will rate himself as hard worker and the maybe not. You have to see yourself from the outside or a different point of view, put yourself on your BOSS place and ask then will you promote (you) will you give yourself a raise ? I have sak me this kinds of questions and have come to realize that you will never beat yourself, always need to work more and more. Cheers !!

Is there a wage or rate on how much work you do all day. well, I don't think so because I rate myself on what I have accomplish for the day. even you work day and night and yet there is no progress and there is no result. I feel worse.In order to rate yourself is on how people see you or saw you. The result of your accomplishment of what have you done.The fact I believe in. Is love your work,cherish it,and always be positive that you can do it or we can do it. love it and earn from it that's how life works. do not rate yourself but let people rate you on what you have gotten.

yes. i see to it that everything's done. i always keep myself busy by doing errands at home and finishing my day to day work at my workplace. I finished my job first before going to a break. Sometimes i eat and work. I can say that i am an expert multi-tasker
