When I was younger I thought that if I worked harder and stayed later, things would improve and I would feel excited about my job. Annoyingly for me it didn’t change anything apart from lowering my energy and raising expectations. For me it was a hard lesson in the difference between effort and self-protection- did anyone else have this moment of realisation?

I can totally relate to that. I went through a period where I was happy to overextend myself, assuming that it would help me in the job. All it really did was make it so I was taken for granted. If you're too accommodating people just take advantage of it, and in the end it's discouraging.

I was raised by parents who had the old school mindset that hard work and loyalty was all you needed to get ahead in life. Of course, they were boomers and loyalty and hard work did pay off for them. I started out that way too and realized very quickly that I did not, and was never going to have the same opportunities they did no matter how much of myself I put into my work.

 I heard a commercial on the radio for Verizon that said something to the effect that parents are now learning how to lesson plan. Are any of you off the hook for lesson planning? Just wondering because I’m over here busting my butt!
