I like what you have said that one can never really know if success will come out of a project but this should not be an obstacle. This really motivates me because I have started a few entrepreneurial ventures that I have never tried before and I know not of anybody that has much less succeeded. Also that for the nudge into action

I think this is good advice. Often times, two sides have different perceptions of each other, and if you don’t know your boss’s perception of you, you will do yourself A LOT of damage!

Knowledge without action just remains knowledge. The experience of doing brings rewards and a better understanding of yourself.

You can’t succeed if you don’t try. And making mistakes is a great way to learn the ways to save and stay optimistic about building wealth.

Asking for a raise is a good idea, but always wait till the opportunity presents itself like during a performance review. Otherwise, it could very easily seem like you are whining about your workload.

You will feel that way at times, but keep at it because you never know when those experiences you’ve accumulated will help you!

I admire your work ethic, but I think you need to stay focused on yourself. Hard work almost always gets noticed. If you feel you are appreciated but undervalued, ask for a raise. You deserve it and your superiors may agree.

I think it all boils down to being pro-active and optimistic. Plus if you were able to successfully accomplish what your boss asked of you, you can put that down on your resume. You did it and now you know how to do it.

I’m the same way at my company, and I find it hard to plow through everything because I never feel that it’s fair when my colleagues do much less and get the same salary. Thanks for the story. This helps A LOT.
