Today my kid, a 3d grade student, called me and proudly announced that he was first in the math competition in his school among 3d and 4th graders. He was very proud of himself! I used the opportunity to immediately remind him of all the hard work he put into studying and solving complicated math puzzles and not giving up. I tied together the work and the feeling of accomplishment he had today. I hope he remembered the message.
It was not only hard work that paid off. He can study hard in other subjects as well, but he doesn't usually get such results in them. Math is one of his favourites, so hard work done in math pays better off than the same hard work done, say, in music. The second key to success is to like what you do.
His voice on the phone inspired me today to observe myself - do I love what I do?
Hard work multiplied by love to what you do pays off exponentially.
