Life Is What You Put Into It

Ever heard the old saying that “you get out of life what you put into it”?  Better yet, how about “nothing ventured, nothing gained”?  Everyone has heard these sayings at some point in their life, but what do they really mean?  What exactly can you put into life?  The answer to that question is up to you.  Hard work, determination, and a  positive attitude are a few things that come to mind.  For example, if  you have a goal of having a certain career and you are willing to work hard, get an education, and are determined to succeed, chances are, you will.  What about nothing ventured, nothing gained?  For some, going back to school may bring them out of their comfort zone, however, if you get out there, go to school, and invest the time and energy in yourself, that will give you the opportunity to be successful, and ultimately …  get more out of life.    The time to venture is now.
