Work.

You work, work, and work.... You think that's what will earn you enough respect. Get up every day, even when you dont want to. You think that's what people admire most about you. Try again...and again... As if it will somehow change one day. It doesn't matter how much you work or how hard you dedicate yourself every day... The majority of others do not care. Demands, commands.... Is all they give. And what do you get in return? Remotely nothing. Or either a simple "Thanks" but even that goes longer ways. It doesn't matter how hard you try. The job is never fully done. Not on your standards or on theirs. So why care? You live for people? Then you'll lose yourself. You live for yourself? Then you'll lose people. There is no true winning in life.
