Work

Recently I've realized that hard work really doesn't pay off. Working all day and sleeping for what one could say pretty much all night really takes away from the special things life has to offer. So really, when someone says hard work pays off, it really doesn't, yeah sure in the long run you'll make more money or go further in your schooling but how many people who actually work really hard take the time to "smell the roses" one could say. What kind of hard working person would walk down the street taking in the outdoors for all the beauty it has to offer. Most hard working people I know are just looking for the next thing to get to work on, the next thing to spend extraneous amounts of time on. Well, actually I guess there are two types of "hardworking" people in this world but in the end they're all the same. Working hard is good  but only to a certain point. There is a fine line between working hard and hard working. When someone is being described to you would you rather them be described as working hard, working when the time permits allowing for other things to intervene in their lives making them a well-rounded person or hard working, working till the point their hands fall off and their brains turn to mush until they can't do anything else. Therefore, leaving them with nothing? I'd prefer to be described as working hard, work when the time comes and play when the time permits to play but, hey that's just me
