At work, it may feel like everyone is making a consistent effort, but sometimes the client will surprise you and be more excited or less excited than anticipated—even if the amount of time and energy you’ve all invested was the same as usual. You can give two jobs 100 percent, but one client will see it as 100 percent, and another will see it as 500 percent. To paraphrase, sometimes the work will be extremely difficult, while other times it’s not so bad. Work always involves some level of difficulty.
