Why do I have to work overtime?

Colleagues often ask me: why do you have to work overtime?

I remember from the beginning of the society to the present, I do not exclude overtime. Not to say what exists is reasonable, but I think that overtime is mostly doing something worthwhile, so in my concept a company does not work overtime in fact, I do not lose points or anything. But my answer is always hanging a face helpless smile, trying to complain about the company's project pressure, time tight, not to finish overtime and so on, won a little resonance. When I sit down, I often ask myself, why don't I work overtime? I should work overtime!

Because I was late for the entry. Once heard a joke, said that there is a program ape to interview, the interviewer asked him how many years of relevant work experience, he replied that it is nearly 3 years, but the interviewer looked at the resume above only 2 years of work experience after questioning the program ape, did not expect his answer is so alarming: I last a job two years, every day overtime, I have to work overtime almost every weekend, so there are almost 3 years of working experience together. I thought it was funny at first, but now I think it makes sense. I took a young age, only to enter the "Eat youth rice" industry, what to compare with others? What are you going to go after those same-age Daniel? That's overtime. In the company, at home, in the library, are overtime, where there is an atmosphere on where to add, so I chose to work overtime in the company.

Because I'm not smart enough. Childhood reading is OK, but the university often hangs branch, proves that I am not a genius, is an ordinary person should be right. Then still remember the language teacher said: clumsy birds have. Now it is back to fly, so only work harder. What are you trying to do? Talent is not good, not very smart, so can only spend a little more time to learn to do. So I've been working overtime.

Because I don't have enough self-control. Accommodation has a high computer, there are two tease teammates, accidentally will watch TV or pull eggs into the night, not only have no spare time to study, but also due to sleep too late to affect the work of the next day of the state. So I chose to work overtime, after all, in the company can not play the game can not watch the video can not listen to music, I can only continue to write code, do projects.

There is no other important reason. This year's various overtime, really let me feel the growth, but at the same time physical fitness also dropped a lot, occasionally some worry. Fortunately, the company does not always need to work overtime, business is not busy, I will be on time to return home to relax. This flash is two months, lazy and slowly filled with my amateur life. This is contrary to my initial intention, so I decided to write something to warn myself not to give up the dream that I have been holding on to.

After that, overtime is not working overtime, I also want to work harder, in order to be able to sit with you in Starbucks to drink coffee earlier!
