hey peeps...i m very baffled about dis concept called hard work... many a times i ve seen people working hard but end up with results much lower than the ones who do just for time pass trying their luck.. eg:-some classmates of mine do work really hard reading almost 6 hrs a day...but some gamble on important questions.. finally i see that latter score higher... so whass the key here??

most of the time hard work pays off. but other times life is just not fair and thats just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. it just really makes me mad that is the truth sometimes i work my butt off at school and teachers just don't notice. i mean by this when i'm not slacking like everyone else they reward the slackers like if i study real hard for a test they make it open book or they help out the slacker during the test. or this one teacher never checks homework when i actually try real hard on mine and i feel like i need this grade i got on my homework but some teachers don't care i wish i went to a good school.

most of the time, hard work pays. We need to be optimistic most of the time because there will be no good effect especially on our end if we will think in a way that we work hard for our goals and then at the end, we will think that we may not get the things that we wanted to happen. It's just believing on what you can do.

thats what an optimist always do...he believes in what he can do,and works in that direction.unfortunately im in a situation where whatever i do turnsout be a failure irrespective of ma efforts.its like all directions leading me to failure itself.i do believe in ma efforts and efforts takes me to verge of success.then a small glitch destroys evrything.so dont u find it obvious that im converted to a pessimist now

Once I really work hard for my studies and my friend, who studied last minute and only using my note receiving a better result than mine. I was so shocked and disappointed. But it has happen. For me, Is till prefer working hard and smart than depending on luck only. I have long train myself to accept anything that not in favour in me by believing that something good will come out from it eventually. Just keep on moving and do not stop. At the end of the day, your hard work will pay off.

A lot of the time no it do not pay off no matter how hard you work.I find that no matter how much time you put into anything it hardly ever pays to work your self to exhaustion.I work my fingers to the bone for hours on end on the computer and do not have much to show for it,i also make greetings cards that take a long time an effort only for a few pence.Then i tend to try to keep up with the house work and that never pays off as no sooner have i done it the six children and the husband destroys what i have done.No one notices how much work i put into things here just to be able to live.

most of the time but not all the time. Sometimes you work hard but the result is not satisfying. I work hard many times on many things but I end up being disappointed. I really do not know what is this concept all about. Sometimes, it is not true. Keep posting. Happy mylotting. Have a nice day Jeff
