I have been thinking if hard work the trait, is something we are born with or something we develop; because I always feel like the hardest worker on the floor. I mean, I am sure everyone thinks they are the most hardworking, right? But I am really the most hardworking. If you were to compare apple to apple in time spent, or years of hard work, I usually win hands down. It isn’t something to be proud of. It is just what it is.
When I was working a job, I’d be the best performer. I was always ahead of the game. If the Boss asked for RM100,000 sales target for the month, I’d bring him RM200,000. I never did anything half way. If there were 50 property managers in town to meet, I’d meet them in the fastest way possible without wasting any time.
So when I told some women lately that there are people who contact 500 people a week, and their eyeballs looked stunned, it made me wonder if I was the one who was crazy. They were barely managing with 5 a week and here I was talking about 500? I started to think when it was that I started to be hardworking and if there was a turning point to my madness.
At the age of 7, I started Standard 1 at a Government School and was helping a tiny little Indian girl do her homework for RM0.50. It appears I was already hard working at 7. At 8, I was moved to St Mary’s School and started a business at school collecting RM0.20 from all my classmates. I was always doing something entrepreneurial. The thing is, NEITHER of my parents were in business and I do not have any recollections of anyone in the family talking about money or being in business either; which leads me to the conclusion that this is something I was born with. But just because I was born with it does not mean one cannot develop this very same skill.
At 10, I was writing thousand word essays. I remember my daughter at 10 and needing to write only a 2-3 paragraph essay of 150 words.
So when people say they work hard these days, I always ask myself what version of hard that is. Be the hardest worker on the floor, guys. It is worth it.
