Hard work pays off...

Like, I don't know how many times people have told me this.... I don't think anyone has never heard this before, but I don't think anyone really can appreciate until they experience working hard for something and getting a good result. (Woah check me with my fancy underlines :o) Hmmm interesting it appears like I have broken my text....

Back to what I was saying, I think that up until this year I've never really been faced with any hard challenges so I've tended to be a fairly lazy person. Things have changed now, I have my GCSEs in May and they're actually pretty important :/ so I've started to put some effort in for a change and I'm not gonna lie, it sucks... 

One thing that I was taught by my brother that psychologically one of the most unencouraging thing is putting in effort and not seeing results, like all those people who make their New Years resolution to get hench or even just fit, they will put effort in but by February give up as they haven't seen any results...

Today I results from my first ever Latin literature test, and normally I'm quite poor in Latin... Test basically involved me having learnt 70 lines of Virgil from memory and then answering questions on it... Yaaaaaay -_- BUT I did manage to pick up an A* which has given me so much more encouragement!

For a moral to take from this I guess I'm trying to say, just because you don't see results straight away from working doesn't mean give up. Even if things seem impossible the key is persistence. A quotation to hopefully keep you motivated is "Never give up; for even rivers some day wash away dams" - Arthur Golden (although I don't have a clue who he is)
