Like your PERSISTENCE, @photosbydepuhl.  As a business coach, I help my clients realize that more work is not always the solution to what ails them.  However, as strong workers, we think that working harder, longer, and not resting is going to work for us.  Unfortunately, it ends up burning us out and clouding our thinking and making us quite grumpy with those that ought to be doing the work for the company.  Hardwork is a left over of our worker brain.
