"If we really work hard for it"

A pleasant day Fellow Mylotters, Just a quick one, as I just want to share a thought that I heard over the news. That, according to the guy being interviewed, people can really be successful no matter what hardship he/she will face as long as he/she is determined and have the passion to do it. That hardship are just part of the obstacles of being successful. But if you will really work hard and eager to achieve the best result, then, you will really get the best of it. As he always quote in his interview, "if we really work hard for it, we will surely get the best". And when I heard that line, it is indeed right, that in everything that we do, we should really work hard for it so we can achieve the best result that we are aiming for.

I believe that we humans tend to limit ourselves because we are unconsciously afraid to leave our comfort zones. Successful people have gone through difficulties, even more difficult than the average person, let's use this as a motivation to make ourselves successful too. I notice in tv shows they have these very miserable characters that no matter what they do in life, they always end up in a bad situation, sometimes it makes me laugh because i don't that happens all the time to everyone. C'mon, it's just fiction, we don't have to believe what happens in a drama.

Hi there Aja103654, Well, generally things that happens in a drama is really a fiction. So it may sounds idealistic. And this is the reason why most people love to watch it. Otherwise, viewers will not be entertained watching it.

Personally this is the Truth. Success can come to anyone, no matter what their race, upbringing, childhood, etc. deals them. You could come from the poorest of neighborhoods and be abused, and turn out to one day be worth millions. Take people like Oprah Winfrey and others. I really feel the reason the system is never broken is too many people do not want to change. They want to continue to be Poor and have nothing, and scared to change. People just need to realize, there is a better life out there, and it is up to you to go get it. Whatever your Dreams, desires and hopes in life you need to learn to let nothing get in the way.

Partially true, but it some ways, also that sentiment is not exactly as true as we want to believe. There are many people who work hard, to the knuckles of their bones, trying to gain a lot of success and they keep pushing themselves to the end. For some of those people out there, it does in fact pay off rather well, some people to an extent, and always at all. However, there are people who succeed despite pretty much everything that they really do. It is not because they work hard but they are good at maneuvering themselves right into the situation that they really need to. So hard work does not always pay off. Intelligence and cunning and being in the right place in the right time does work rather well as well. Might not seem ideal but it is a rather realistic thing.

The saying, "You reap what you sow'...is true in any aspect of our life. There is working hard and then there is working smart. I believe the key to any success is first knowing where your talents and abilities lie and then mixing that with passion to get you through the trials and errors of building upon them. The passion is the motivation that drives you through the dry period where either nothing is looking like it will ever materialize or no one believing in your dream. The greatest successes that have benefited society have come from those who knew what they were capable of, had a dream and saw it through!

It feels really great when we achieve something we really aspire for. I agree that hard work will lead us to something good. I have been down for so many times, problems even push me out of my comfort zone - but, i learned my lesson - good things happen to those who wait and better things happen to those who work for it.

To work hard on reaching a goal is your best option to reaching that, although sometimes we really need luck too, lol! But in a more sensible way, the fruit of hard work is really more hard earned and savoring it would give one such pride and joy as you have done it on your own.
