Tell me something I haven't heard before.

I don't know why people think it is "easy" to work hard. It is not really that easy. If that is the case, why only some of us are successful. It gets annoying when maifriend tells me to study more. I am studying. What more can I do? If I sit there and study 10 hours straight would it make a difference? If I wake up 3 hours earlier and 3 hours later than everyone else, would I be consider diligent. Enough of these if's and would's. Tell me something I haven't heard before. I am going to make a change but would you change with me? So you won't see me as lazy or careless but as a person who also have goals and aspirations. Perhaps I should have said: "will you see me differently?"
