Great pay comes great responsibilities

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.

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.

Yep yep.. I used to work just for the sake of doing something productive and not being a lazyass forever xD things are pretty much clearer now as to what I want which motivate me to do anything to get it

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