Hard Work

Daily writing prompt
In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

After seeing the prompt for today (10/1/2023), I decided to work on a quick response.

My response:

I always expect to produce a good paper after hard work. The hard work involves understanding key concepts, looking at the problem from different perspectives, developing an argument, explaining my understanding in an effective manner. I usually feel good after I produce/prepare a good paper.

I like to take it step by step. There are usually key steps involved in preparing anything. Keys steps are important for success. I like to use my background so that there is a lot of “me” in the project or paper (my information). Then I can say that my stamp is on it. There is a lot of my understanding and “wisdom” involved. 

The hard work is important when preparing a paper or working on a project. There is a saying where I am from that when you put in the hard work, it is yours for all eternity. It is essentially saying you will not lose it easily or it cannot be easily taken away from you – no ‘easy come easy go.’

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
