For every sale you miss because you’re too enthusiastic, you will miss a hundred because you’re not enthusiastic enough – Zig Ziglar

You know who’s not happy with their lives, when their busy discussing yours.

If I want your opinion I’ll ask for it.

I shouldn’t have to explain myself…YOU should be the one telling ME why you believed what you heard.

“Most people fail at whatever they attempt because of an undecided heart. Should I? Should I not? Go forward? Go back? Success requires the emotional balance of a committed heart. When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape. A committed heart does not wait for conditions to be exactly right. Why? Because conditions are never exactly right.” ~Andy Andrews

For most of us studying is a complete insult to the brain wanting to do better things with our time. Some of us really enjoy it and get a kick out of it. For me it’s just a waste of time listening to so called professors who never actually kissed a girl. Knowing that makes a college more worth it and the internet serves us with energetic movies when sitting in the back.There’s always a story behind a story. So why didn’t I properly study?

I’ll sum it up what I’ve learned during my 2 years of College and 4 years of University. Some of them are applicable to companies.

Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Tammy Strobel of Rowdy Kittens.

Our culture celebrates workaholism. We hear stories of people who “burn the mid-night oil” at the office, or about individuals who never take vacations. Working a lot doesn’t mean you deserve a gold star or a raise.

Working too much is likely to decrease your productivity, leave you creatively drained, and negatively effect relationships with friends and family. Don’t get me wrong, pursuing your passion is a beautiful gift and there is nothing wrong with working hard on projects you love. However, it’s essential to take breaks. Whether you’re working from home or in an office environment it’s essential to nourish your creative spirit.

Below are a few creative ways to avoid becoming a workaholic.

1. Set clear boundaries. Make sure your working hours are consistent. For instance, if you work from 8am to 5pm make sure you leave the office by 5. Don’t stay late.

“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.”

~Veronica A. Shoffstall
