100% true.
The reward for toil had been more toil. If you dug the best ditches, they gave you a bigger shovel.
Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum
There is no such thing as job security.
You can be somewhere for 19 years, make yourself utterly indispensable to multiple departments and still get replaced (even if they have to hire two people to take on everything you did). Don’t place your loyalty in a company or an employer.

I just wanted to really write on here to tell y'all some of the feelings I have right now.
Every day I literally wake up hoping that it’s gonna be the day that my life changes, but I know it doesn’t work that way.
So I just get on with doing me, going to the British Academy Of Music has been so good for me and being halfway through my year I have learnt so much.
Any person who actually cares about there life will ask the question “What if I don’t make it?” Making it might be having a family, being a star, having a nice home…we all have different visions of happiness.
My vision is just of one and only thing…music. I don’t even see relationships, it all kinda gets blocked out. Some days I just get angry cause I put so much pressure on myself to do well, but I guess it’s just because I care.
And sometimes I do have them days where I’m like shiiiit man what happens….if i don’t make it? and it’s scary man…but there has to be something for never giving up and working hard right?

Ah yes, bastardized Calvinism. All the modern conveniences you want — like the value of work ethic, asceticism, and investment — and nothing you don’t — like wealth moderation and providing for the common good.
Religious ideas, transplanted into new context to serve economic and political gain.
