Life is not that easy, try to work on it the least

People tend to ask and reason why is it difficult to earn money or get the things you want in life. I also ask the same way but now I realize, nothing will happen if I don't do anything to get the goals I wanted in life. I just don't understand the reason why people would just like to sit and do nothing and yet expect to get rich, without doing anything. There is no magic formula for that "GET RICH QUICK" and do nothing. How do you go about it? Do you hear people tell you join this and that and get rich, without even doing anything?

The best things to have in life are happiness, good luck and excellent health. People that have loads of money are rarely all that happy and nothing given to such a person makes him or her delights. A person that is very poor will be ever so worried and miserable. I believe it is best to have enough money for food, drinks, bills and hobbies. Then the person or family can live happily. Indeed saving up gradually is possible but getting rich quickly doesn't seem to. I think having a lovely home can make a person happy. I know that some time to relax and exercise is necessary. I think that family members, friends and pets can be wonderful to spend happy times with. If a business deal seems too good to be true then it probably is.

I 100 percent agree with you, happiness is the first thing, if you are the richest man in the world but unhappy, then the money has no meaning.

Indeed true, if you are healthy it is also considered as wealth. Happiness can be obtained depending on how people define their own happiness. Thanks for your response.

Yep, we always know there is no magic in our life, but lots of people still believe that they will get rich without doing anything, they hope done nothing can get lots, or enjoy the life without any problem, dont need work hard. But that's impossible, right, if we work hard, but no necessarily to rewarded, if not, we will not get any return.

While hard work and diligence is way, way preferable over laziness and indulgence, still it is never a guarantee for success. While it is a factor, it certainly isn't the only factor, otherwise the most hardworking people on the planet would have been the most successful. I think creativity factors the most when it comes to alienating the singular factor most responsible for success. And while hard work cannot give one an absolute guarantee for success, at the very least it can keep starvation at bay.

Hello dbersales, it's true that working hard can't be an assurance for success but it can be a reason to just start your way to get to your goal. But working smart is the best as to what most people in networking says. Have a nice day!

There many business field, especially, tell people that they don't have to work really hard to get rich. Just join and invest some money and you will seee your money grow in no time We all know something like that happen in internet. It sounds promising but also we have to be very careful. If we want something big, we have to work on it harder than usual when we only receive small thing. Sometimes we are blinded by promises of huge profits with a very easy way that actually leads to the destruction.

Yes true, we should be careful not to give in to such unless you study what company to join in. I don't have problems that helps people to succeed as long as they are true to their promise and people will not lie just to succeed also.

HI there ! There are formula to get rich , that hard work , determination and faith to God. The ocean is too wide , all we need to do is to sail ! Nothing will happen to our life if we will just sit and wait for falling blessings because it will never come. We are given by God good cards , all we need to do is to know how to play them well. We need to sweat for all the good things that we wishes to have , we need to work with our dreams because if we won't exert any efforts for it , then forever it will remain as a dream. We need to give our best shot , whatever happen we will succeed or not , the important thing is we did our best. If all our best are given then believe good things are along the way , God said ," work people and i will help you , do your best and I'll take care for the rest."

One thing I know is that everything has it's price. My feeling is that I would much rather know what the cost is going to be and pay up front. If you think this is wrong, just take a look at the people that win great amounts and what happens to their lives a year or two down the road. If you want something work for it, if you can't seem to get it take another look, maybe the price is just to high.

Thanks savypat, everything has its price. Whatever the price may be, effort should be pushed. Have a nice day!

Maybe it is not literally not do anything, but its like they are saying required less effort almost doing nothing. Anyway, I still remember about my first in work online. I was about to pay a fee to work online and I am glad that someone forbids me to do it or else I would be a victim of scammers online.

Having the life one wants is not free. Waiting is not the solution, you have to do something to earn it. People who keeps on complaining are just lazy. No one will get rich if he/she keeps on bewailing, you have to think of something so that it would work on your favor.

Well, or rich it is, for generation, or you win the lottery, otherwise there is no formula to enable rich simply idling. The truth is that nobody gives you anything and you always have to work hard! I do not have a job, even though they have arrived at the ripe old age of almost 38 years. This to me is a very serious thing! I think about my future, everything in uncertainty! I am not rich family, I do not play the lottery, the only hope of making money honestly working on it! However, I still do not want me to beat. Sooner or later, I think there will be job also for me!

Very true Alberello, it is not that easy. We need to work hard for the money. It's not as easy as what others can do without being honest and real. For me being true and honest is the best. Have a nice day!

Hi strawberry! I also believe that we should make extra effort if we really want to achieve our goals. Nothing will happen to us if we don't make a move. Have a great day!

Nothing comes without effort.If you want something you must do something.There is a joke about a lazy man who asked God to help him win from lottery.God asked him whether he had bought a ticket.The answer was `no`!`Then how can I help you win!`

True, nothing comes without an effort. Everything has its own price and we must work to achieve something. Thanks for the response Niki.

Yes the trouble is that most people want good rewards without putting in good effort. There is a price to pay for everything and it is actually not good to get rewarded for seemingly no effort, the payment will be due later. It is fine if they want an easy life, but then be satisfied with their lot and do not complain that they are not getting any fruits.

People say lot of things like if you do this easy work you will become rich but I would like to know how can anybody believe such things. According to me only way to become rich is hardwork, consistency, disceplene and knowledge about what you are doing.

You are right sunrisebeach, it takes hardwork and discipline for a person to gain what he or she wants in life. Maybe there's only slim chance for those who got so lucky in life like those who won big amount of money in lottery, that does not need hard work but pure luck?

I want to be rich, hard working is necessary, but the others may impact the result directly like wisdom, courage, strong will even luck. Also the major premise is you are healthy.
