If gambling could be a your motivation just to work id rather not to have this mindset because you are just in the endless cycle of getting a work hard earned money and then you will spent the money again in playing gambling and once its all done you will work again until you drain yourself due to excessive work load and task, instead why not make yourself more improve, get assets, get a good amount of cashflow so you dont mind where to get a money on the next day and use for your gambling activities. By that still you can sustain and enjoy your satisfaction.
I totally agree with you and I see this as unwise for using gambling as a motivation or inspiration to work hard because gambling itself can be frustrating at times, disastrous and can cause serious depression. I doubt if there is any responsible gambler that will use gambling as an inspiration to work hard because that is self deceit. Gambling is something one should stay away from because of the force that always come after someone incur loss, that force can make one do what they are not suppose to do and the moment you do that which you are not suppose to do, you have already starting stepping foot into addiction.
Those who are more motivated to gamble, thinking of working harder, are definitely very stupid, and this kind of mentality will undoubtedly lead them to addiction. Gambling is a place of fortune, what does hard work mean here? These are just crazy and through this they only take more loans, or sell some of their valuable things and use that money to gamble, these are definitely a big wrong decision. We always need to limit gambling as much as possible, but if someone creates the wrong mentality to gamble more, then in that place, the results can be devastating. Hard work for success must be done on good deeds, gambling is not a place for hard work, rather gambling should be taken very lightly.
