The phrase 'work hard' isn't all about the amount of physical time and energy as well as the mental energy you put in doing the wrong thing, wrong way and the wrong timing with the wrong set of people around you. You can work very hard all your life but there are some factors that finally propels one to another level in any chosen endeavor . However , no matter the angle one looks at it I have come to that one realization that after doing all you can in any business , job et al you need that 1 % God factor for anything you touch no matter how insignificant it is to turn to gold. I wasn't a believer of this school of thought until I saw it , felt it and now I know better. Whatever you do - Do it with all your strength and wait but don't forget to wait on the Lord. 2 Likes 1 Share |

To me it's about doing what you enjoy. Some rich folks are miserable but it's better to be rich than to be poor. However it's best to do what you love and bring out the best in it while you enjoy the monetary returns. 1 Like |

OP, don't get it twisted. In whatever field you are, its about working smart AND hard. The combination is key. The Tekno, models and footballers you are talking about, you think they don't work hard?? C Ronaldo, Messi, you think you can work as hard as them? I can bet you they work harder than the average office person. Even yahoo boys, you think they don't work hard?? Smh for you. So you must do both- work smart and hard to maximize your chances of success. If you do only one of them, your chances of success are much more limited. 5 Likes |

Though you are correct. But hard work and education is very imporyant. Most times working hard is not physicaly doing a particular thing. Several factors are involve. The Tekno and eazy you made mention of were nobody before they became famous. They worked hard for it. They tried on their own before the promoters and maketers found them. At one time or the order during their time of struggle they came across so many obstacles that almost made them quit. And as for going to school to become a lawyer or a doctor. Though your chances of making wealth is high. But, there is no certainty. The fact that you are a doctor doesn't guarantee you a ticket to wealth. But your chances are high. The fact is we should pursue what we love doing. PASSION is very very important. If we face challenges doing what we love. PASSION will help us overcome such challenges. 6 Likes |

Re: Is It Really About Working Hard? by Nobody: 11:47am On Jul 19, 2018 |
OP you still have to add HARD to any WORK you are doing, then put SMARTNESS after it. The mistake people make is taking out smartness and innovation and just working hard blindly. For instance a government job will always suck you up and make you work really hard with nothing to show for it, sonetimes the government does not even give you any excuse. The smart people are diversifying into other businesses that could fetch extra cash depensong on your clime, saving and investing at the same time is smartness when you know there is no job security where you work. coming to the Nigeria of today, it takes more than hardwork to get anything out of your certificate nowadays especially when you dont have connections to big companies and influential parents to set up a business for you. Even if you do , smartness will. not drive you to set up a business which will only make you toil and work hard all to run at a loss.Smartness is what makes you structure your job search process and grab any slight opportunity to present yourself as the best candidate for a job opening. If you intent to trail the entrepreneur path, be ready for the worse.Grasp knowledge and mentorships around you untill you discover yourself. Where can you function to the best of your ability , what current trend can you tap into and upscale fast, be it tech, music or whatever , you should not work hard blindly. If you know you arent going to use your masters for anything dont waste money yet, see what you can set up to keep you going before furthering, i dont see any smartness in running a masters degree when you don't take time to learn one or two skills or intern in a few companies or get a business running. If your degree cant get you a job, who says your Msc will. Pivot and try as many things as possible untill one clicks. But unfortunately, many of us still conform to the trend and believes of goto school , do masters ,get a job. while it works for some people , A lot of Nigerians end up in frustration. The Nigeria of today does not secure your future, you have to secure it with your own hands. Nothing is guaranteed, except your father or mother is into politics! 3 Likes |
