Great pay comes great responsibilities

I'll be a teacher... that's why

I'm lazy. That's something I admit and am well aware of. The only times I am not lazy is when I have fun doing it. At times I'd overcome laziness when it's something I do for someone I love or I really care about. It's been 5 years since I've started having a real job and I still honestly don't do well with complying to my responsibilities. What I think has been keeping my bosses from kicking me out was because I've always been jolly, respectful and creative. Though I am always active in doing anything that is physical, I'm not so reliable when it comes to paperwork. I find it really boring since I have to sit down for hours to think and plan. I am not used to planning and, even if I do plan, I tend to change them. So, in the end of the day, I find it useless working on that plan and makes me think I had wasted my time. I did try to go according to what I have planned but when a better idea just popped in my mind and ignored it, I'd feel a bit unsatisfied of the results. Anyway, this time it's different. Back then, I had no bigger goals other than just having a job to pay for the house and becoming better at a sport. This year I've set bigger goals that has now driven me to pursue on getting this job at this private school. It offers a bigger pay than I have ever received in the past 5 years; it's double the pay that I've ever received. I've just got a call and tomorrow I'll be having a psychology test to know if I'm a psychopath or a pedophile... lol ...just kidding. I'm not really sure what it is for but I hope I'll do well. If anything, I'm no threat. I know that working there with a much higher pay is equals to much more responsibility (and paperwork) than I've ever had. I'll hate it but I know I have more drive to do well in this job. I simply think this is one big opportunity for me to reach my goals such as to pay a visit to my home country, pay for the house, donate food to dog shelters, finally take my whole family in a vacation, and probably put up a small business for Mom in the very near future. I've never really thought of really wanting to do this until a couple of months ago. I feel so pumped up that I just want to share this to everyone who will be reading this. And if ever I'd feel down, I might as well reread this and remind myself of what has driven me to start on doing this job in the first place.

Almost sharing the same feeling with you about the paperwork, I did for 3 years, and a month ago. Those office work keeps me feeling unsatisfied and I'm now working at home, online, eating better food and do blogging

@mnjhun1 earning online from these site is not enough for coffee, just join for fun. You have to do something different or having ideas to go with business

Im guilty about the laziness part. I feel the same way when I dint like what im doing. But as we mature, we tend to realize something that will give as a drive to achieve something.

That is good to hear. As long as you have an increase in salary but not in expenses, you will do every well in the future. That is the only way to get rich.

Good thing is that I'm still single and pretty stingy except with my family.
