TOPIC: Hard-Work and Determination

Hard-Work and Determination 7 years 9 months ago #361922


I've seen first hand over the years I've been here, people that have been scared down from doing things they know they can do to make a positive impact, get pushed around by others and convinced they shouldn't do something when they should, and more. I don't see this as much but this is more of a lesson in life than it is in ZARP or any other gaming community. If you have a goal, you might think to yourself "Oh, I can't achieve that. That would take a while. I don't know if I could ever do that, I might not even try." If you have a goal, you should ask only one question to yourself: How. A goal in reality is a destination and the trip to said destination is how you'll achieve it, and what you'll do.

In the screenshot above I had been an Administrator for around a month, and I was told by a higher up member of staff at the time I'd never make my dreams come true, or never get where I wanted to go in ZARP. Many people after having this said to them would be less than reluctant to maybe carry on their staff duties or try as hard. If someone tells you that you can't make your dream come true, or achieve your goals. I was told I wouldn't get Super Admin, and what I did was I worked my ass off and look where it got me. It comes with hard work and dedication, but if you put your mind to it and block out the naysayers you can achieve your goals! It might not be a promotion for you, it might not even be on the internet, but I hope my story can shed some light in whatever your goals are and help you out personally.
Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

You didn't do something right, as someone who was a Super Admin when you were around as an Admin you were missing something essential, while you qualified for everything else you missed one of the most important things.

And what would this thing be?

Everybody has beat around the bush about this shit, I never plan on coming back to this community looking for staff ranks. Nobody let me know THE REAL THING of what I was or wasn't doing to affect my chances.

When I was told to improve something, I did my best to improve.

I just want to find out so I know how silly it is that I spent so much time trying for something I'd never get.

And it's a thing with the NDA that I've always had a problem with.

If I was so qualified, why not let me know what the true issue is?

Wouldn't it be, oh I don't know, BENEFICIAL to the staff team to have a "qualified" SA appointed?

I think this was more of an inspirational thread not just expressing your feelings to the lead team for not picking you for SA

On topic now , This is a great Inspirational thread and I am sure many can learn from this so have I . People said I would never get sa one person named jake mc fly early on said I shouldn't have even got mod but Im still around.

There's no real way to get super admin, it's just a bunch of factors contributing to getting it. I tried for about 2 years for super admin, I asked most of the lead team for help, and then got it in a week. You need to be dedicated, active, friendly etc. but also need to do some super admin roles, such as unofficially dealing with staff reports. I made some sort of guide on my resignation thread.

Anyways, nice topic Morgan, first time I saw this thread I thought Hahzy came back and I was so happy lol.
