To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people.

To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of
undeserving people.

At that level, you don’t wait for anybody, it is your career and you have to work very hard to achieve your goals.

You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream, you've got to get out there and make it happen yourself.

No one owes you a great career, it argues; you need to earn it — and the process won’t be easy.

Is Fate getting what you deserve, or deserving what you get?

It won’t always go your way, so you can’t get trapped in this idea that just because you’ve imagined a possibility for yourself that you somehow deserve it. Your entitled mind is dead weight. Cut it loose. Don’t focus on what you think you deserve. Take aim on what you are willing to earn!

People frequently get what they deserve, but it doesn't feel like it because the unspoken rule is that you only deserve it if you have
(1) the courage to attempt it,
(2) the guts to ask for it, and
(3) the willingness try again when it doesn't work out the first time.

If you take the pay, earn it. Always do your very best. Even when no one else is looking, you always are. Don’t disappoint yourself.

In life, you get what you believe you deserve.

I can do it. I earned it. It's something you have to remind yourself.

I receive them only when he thinks I deserve it — I have to work for them!

Earn it yourself so that nobody will say they gave you anything

[...] you should not wait for clapping of hands and shouts and praise to do your duty; but do good of your own accord.
