I am a firm believer in hard work. Working hard does not guarantee success but it ups one's chances of getting nearer to that sweet 's' word - success! Of course, I do not mean that we should simply work doggedly and obstinately. Rather, we should put in smart and good effort into what we do. After all, we (mostly) reap what we sow. Depending on luck to succeed is basically waving 'so long, farewell' to success. Let us work hard and steer ourselves intelligently towards our various goals. Remember to enjoy the journey that gets you to the fruits of your success.
Here's an extract from what esteemed blogger/writer Daniel Wong has mentioned about working hard:
Life was never meant to be easy, so let’s not act as if we’re entitled to the comforts and luxuries of life.
We all need to work for what we want, so let’s embrace the challenges that come our way.
As Joshua J. Marine once said, “Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”
