Labor is really the birth of happiness?

[bitcoin_mining]

As a child, textbooks and teachers have taught us that hard work begets good luck. That is, no one comes into the world with luck, everyone has to make their own luck. The more hardworking and the more serious he is towards his work, the more likely he is to succeed. But there are some people around who look at them and think this saying is not true. Around me, I see many such daily wage laborers, rickshaw pullers or agricultural laborers, who remain at the same position from which they started their life even at the end of their age. It's not like they don't work hard.  

A day laborer works for around 12 hours non-stop and in return they get a small amount of money which they spend in various ways. Here my question is why they are not able to change their fate after working so hard. In this case you may tell me that he is a daily wage laborer or he is a rickshaw driver that is why he is not progressing but he is focused on his workplace and he is working there with full focus so why is he not changing his fate. If a rickshaw driver or a day laborer wants to but cannot become a doctor or an engineer, he has to focus on his profession. What do you say about his change of fate?

Well I don’t agree with what teachers tell us. Hard work can get you somewhere yes but it wouldn’t be the only thing you should do in order to succeed. In my opinion you need a little bit of luck still. Hard work plus luck is the deadly combo. That would get you anywhere you want in life and further. Though not all of us gets that lucky.

It's true they're working hard, but sorry to say this... those jobs you mentioned above mostly don't have any prospect. I mean, what you can expect from someone who work without skill and even they already have working for 5 years, it doesn't make them already have a skill since what they do are jobs without skill in the first place.

Obviously it's hard since you said they work for 12 hours, the choice is they need to looking for a new job from other company that didn't require to work for 12 hours, so they can use few hours to develop themselves.

It actually depends on the financial status of every individual but yeah I agree with you that we are only taught to work, work and work. Though this depends on us if we really wanted to follow the masses but we can choose which path we are going. If we really are going to focus on something that will give us financial freedom then that will be different as most people who attempt to reach that level has failed and only few are successful because they are not afraid to fail. I do wish that we will be part of that few people one day.

Hard work does not mean during muscular odd jobs, hardwork means putting all your effort, time and sacrifice in whatever that you are doing to achieve your dreams by learning a skill or go to school. This is why the level of your education will determine the kind of job that you will get. It is just that these days government have failed to provide enough jobs for the citizens which is making the rate of unemployment to be high.

This is why it is good for someone to save up something and invest in bitcoin, because it is only through investment and business that one can improve his financial status, or if you are lucky to get a good job. One thing I believe about success is your destiny, if you walk on the right part towards your destiny you will be successful and that is why in everything that we do, we do take it very serious.

The Germans have a well-known quote:

"Arbeit macht frei."

Means:

"Work sets you free."

As you know Germany is one of the richest countries in the world and the people that live there are also mostly happy and it is because they work hard and add value to the world. China is following the same steps and they are getting richer too. So, I think work indeed brings happiness.

Laziness brings only misery.

[jrrsparkles]

You will never get rich just by working hard, it should also include work smart. If you work 12 hours in a job that can be done by anyone in the same 12 hours then don't expect any exclusive but imagine everyone is taking 12 hours but you can able to complete the task in 10 hours that is exclusive which is going to take you to the next level. Which means you need to be innovative in the field you work so you can increase the productivity and it will increase your value over time.

Yeah actually a person can not be successful without a hardworking every work a person is doing is very important to be very serious about it for you to achieve your goals. Because I wonder some people's that they will only staying at home or one place and they will be thinking to get what their mates have achieved how is it possible, they should said if a person really wants to become like others members him most work hard, but some are not thinking that their aim is to just become rich person without working hard this luck most be difficult.

the lack of opportunity is always the cause. if a farmer only has the opportunity to sell their products straight to the end users and will not go through a lot of bureaucracy and middlemen, they may succeed and will be able to let their sons and daughters be agriculture engineers who may be able to experiment a variety of plants that will bear fruits every month.

laborers have to also be resourceful to succeed. ambitions are always going to make a person look into the future.

[Gaza13]

Every human being on earth, Who doesn't want their life to change from before. I think that according to their hearts, the feeling of wanting to change will always be there, but the reality is what makes it difficult for them to develop or change their lives. They are afraid of taking risks. For example, someone wants to build a business and they borrow money from a bank. Before borrowing, they must first think about whether or not they can pay off the loan in full. And they definitely think about whether the business will continue to progress or go bankrupt in the future. They are afraid of taking this risk, He does not want to impose loans on his relatives if they fail on their loans.

People are born into a world with different opportunities around them, however some people may have a lot more difficulty reaching their potential due to a massive range of factors. If you are born into a family living a subsistence lifestyle in the countryside somewhere in Africa, you have much more limited possibilities compared to someone born into a rich family in a San Francisco neighborhood. The nurturing you receive in early years, the education and freedoms in those two scenarios will present a polar opposite world vision to you. It may be possible for someone to break free in the first scenario, but it is vastly more different to do so and moving up wealth brackets is very tough for anyone to achieve.

Here my question is why they are not able to change their fate after working so hard. 

There are so many reasons why but I'll give some of it that I think why they do not able to change their fate.

1. It is their fate to work to that kind of job and they're happy about it.
2. They have more freedom while doing that job compared to the white collar jobs.
3. They earn more from there so with the combination of having more freedom, they earn more there.
4. They don't feel that they'd be accepted if they apply for another job and that's why they stay to that trade they have.

In this case you may tell me that he is a daily wage laborer or he is a rickshaw driver that is why he is not progressing but he is focused on his workplace and he is working there with full focus so why is he not changing his fate.

Do you have a family? Because if you don't have yet, you'll never understand that.

If a rickshaw driver or a day laborer wants to but cannot become a doctor or an engineer, he has to focus on his profession. What do you say about his change of fate?

Any profession that's true, genuine and the person that has that and stays for his entire lifetime only tells one thing. They're comfortable with that job and if ever they have a dream, they'd pursue that. What's more worrying are those people that works with the job they don't like and they're unhappy about it.

Working hard doesn't mean you'll be rich. If I decide to start breaking rocks and work hard 14 hours every day won't make me rich. It depends on what you're doing. The kind of work you do matters a lot.
Hard work pays off when you're in a field that can make you rich. And that is why people say "work smart".
Working smart will help you choose the right field. Working smart means developing yourself so you can get better and stand a chance to earn more income.

Speaking of luck. Well, some people are born lucky. Some are born into wealthy families so they don't need to start from the bottom.
I believe luck plays a role in people's lives. I understand it's hard work at first, but sometimes, a man needs a little bit of luck on his side.

Somehow it seems like if you really want to succeed in life, you have got to have a business at the end. No matter what is your daily job, it wouldn’t be enough compared to what you can earn in you go into entrepreneurship. This is a product of capitalism and our world being divided into those who are capitalists and the working class. We all should work hard to own a business sometime.

[seanskie18]

In these times of severe economic depression, a primary issue is having a regular work that provides enough income to meet the needs of the family. This is not always easy, particularly when thousands of employees are being laid off. If you are unexpectedly unemployed, the task is to take decisive action to locate another work. To work hard to support our family. However, it also urges us to "eat, drink, and look good" as a reward for all of our efforts. If you already have a family, you must maintain a work-life balance. Rest certain that combining your job, relaxation, and family needs will result in significant rewards.

In my opinion, hard work doesn't always equate to success, especially if it's misdirected. For example, working longer hours doesn't necessarily mean higher pay. We can understand this through the 80/20 rule, where 80% of results come from 20% of causes. It all depends on the impact on the business.

Why do some laborers work 12 hours non-stop yet earn very little? It's because their work primarily relies on physical effort, with a stagnant impact on the company. Even with years of experience, the main result might simply be increased speed, which doesn't significantly affect the company's bigger picture.

On the other hand, positions like sales often have higher earning potential due to their direct impact on company profits. Some salespeople work less than laborers but earn substantially more.

So, how can one change this situation? First, use experience to strategize ways to make work more efficient. For instance, finding ways for one person to do the work of 12, or optimizing product layouts to eliminate unnecessary steps. Alternatively, invest in learning new, in-demand skills to potentially transition into a higher-paying job.

It seems to me that the first condition for success in any field is hard work and will power. As a child, I used to read in school and college textbooks that "hard work is the birth of happiness". But slowly when I grew up and tried to adapt to the real life, I understood that not only hard work can change the luck, but also you have to work intelligently, that is, intelligent work is better than hard work.

Not everyone in the world is born rich. Everyone has to achieve success through hard work. If man sets his goals and works hard accordingly, he will one day be able to reach the pinnacle of success. OP you mentioned that even if a day laborer works twelve hours a day nonstop he can't change his fate I think he is just working hard and not smart. As a result of which his condition is not improving. Along with hard work we have to use our conscience to choose the work that can easily reach the threshold of success.

That's because back in their time, hard work MEANT something. Nowadays? That just means you're a pushover and you can be taken advantage of. Don't get me wrong, hard work is still needed to go up and get yourself a better life, but at some point, it just hits a ceiling. And it depends on what you're working for as well. Part of it is because of how many people are working as well in the first place, so it's a competition but a huge part is well, just the result of capitalism. You can stay change starts with small things, but that's when there's nothing big blocking your way and well, that's what capitalism does to you.

[Plaguedeath]

No, labor isn't the birth of happiness.

Privilege is actually the birth of happiness.

If you have privilege, let's say your parents have a big business, your dad is a president, or someone who have power, then you're high likely will happy in your life.

If you're start from nothing and your parent are average, the chance you will not happy is really high because even you have a job, the salary and effort you spend might not equal. Who're happy when they work hard and get paid less?

[X-ray]

hard work doesn't equate to happiness and usually happiness comes when you have financial stability and your family could afford whatever they want to afford. it is happiness, those manual laborer aren't lacking hardwork even many times they over working, they work harder than most of the people yet their fate never change because hardwork never equates to more money, but it is required in achieving your dream.

if you trying to find happiness you should know what make you unhappy first, is it financial unstability? the feeling of powerless when you can't afford to pay for food or medical bills? if that's the case, try to make much more money through leveraging your knowledge and hardwork, make each other complement.
there are many teacher that says hardwork begets good luck but they never teach about people that did hardwork and still have miserable fate at the end of the day and also those people that tried hard to become rich through entrepreneurship and will still become poor anyway because they keep failing never found success.
the world was never linear, being rich is just simply having a good opportunity at the right time and being the right person and its always like this.

thats why there's something called work smart not work hard, see those billionaires, they are letting other people work to achieve his dream in exchange for money which means labour, meaning what matter most is achieving your dream, not other.
