The six most important hours of our lives ….
We finish work at 6 pm and we go to bed around 12 midnight. But how do we spend these six hours of our lives?
Do we watch Netflix?
Go pubbing with friends?
Do we laze around?
According to Jack Ma, the activities that we do between 6 pm and 12 midnight impacts our lives significantly. Many people believe that their careers are determined by the eight hours of hard work and effort they put in at the office, and that their futures and career progressions depend on their boss and the company. But the #HardTruth is this …. no one owes us a living, much less success.
The reality is that success depends on us. If we find ourselves not progressing in our careers, we cannot blame the failure on our company for not grooming us. We are where we are because of things we did, and did not do.
So take personal responsibility and spend those six hours wisely. Read to widen your knowledge, take a course to upgrade yourself, or even do a side hustle to gain experience. Stop being a victim of your circumstances and take action.
