The motivator for DW to do overtime at work (get this, a government employee who actually works unpaid overtime!) is the families her organization supports. She puts in the hours because she can have a few quiet hours to find ways to help them live better -- ways to fund activities that benefit the special-needs kids, ways to let parents concentrate their efforts on caring for those kids (as opposed to worrying about $$$ or how the other kids are handling the situation). She likes being part of an organization big enough to have the resources to truly make a difference and yet decentralized enough to still know their clients. She almost considers it being paid to play -- but more like a jigsaw puzzle than jacks or checkers.
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
