I get by with a little help from my friends

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice - no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service." 
          John Burroughs


I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

Some people dream of success... while others wake up and work hard at it.

Sometimes it feels like everything requires effort. nothing comes easy anymore. Oh wait, that's because it's true

the good dinner I want is trumped by the easy access pb&j
the power is turned off because we didn't put forth the effort to read the welcome sheet
the run I should go on falls short because I can't manage the effort of tying my running shoes
the relationships that should be easy never are

how come the best things in life are worth working hard for?

who decided that is how things need to be? I mean, i get it. I just don't necessarily like it all that much.

sometimes effort is just plain exhausting. i guess that's when you turn to the people that love you, like really love you and let your effort collapse for a bit. forget the effort of putting on a face and holding yourself together for just one second and rely on the love of others to keep you in one piece. I mean, that is what life is all about right? working hard but not doing it alone?

because ultimately, effort or not, we can't do it alone. I can't do it alone. but ya know what, we'll be okay. Everything will work out as it should. it may take all the effort in the world, a lot of tears, a lot of faking it, but one day it will be real and it will be easy and it will be worth it. but until then, i chose to lean, and lean hard.

We've gone our own ways and I know its for the best, but sometimes I wonder will I ever have a friend like you again?"
