It'll be worth it (well, that's what I tell myself)

if you start asking yourself "is it worth it" when you are doing X or Y, you are in the wrong job, or on the wrong path.

if you aren't loving what you are doing 90% of the time, get out. you'll not likely be successful at it.

once you fucked up enough things, and succeeded at a few, and had some time to think about it, you'll realize this. i guaran damn tee it.

You reap what you sow.

If you don't put in the crunch time now, you'll have to pay for it later. i.e. whether it be that you miss out on a job opp or will be clueless when you're asked to do some menial task. Don't take shortcuts in life.

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor. -Dr. Alexis Carrel
