Thursday

I thought I was about to hear The International!

Took my bonus break last night, we get an extra one when we work 10 hours a shift. Joined some comrades outside, one of them was remarking on all the Latins and Asians who come over here and start businesses of their own.

"How is it they start businesses and we're still working for the man?" she said in a tone of complete disgust.

Someone replied that the people in question were more likely to do without while they worked to get ahead.

That's called delayed gratification. Work now for rewards later, something that is increasingly alien to most of us. We want what we want and we want it now.

Work for your goals and the rewards will be sweeter still.
