Hard work isn't the only foundation for wealth building and building wealth is never easy.Many people work so hard but still achieve little.There're different levels to hardwork, and if you're not in the right direction and you're not executing with precision and strategy, you'd end up wasting so much time on the wrong things.
It's by grace that people are making it though a little work where done, there are successful people today who are not even hard working while there are also people who work very hard but still struggle to feed maybe they weren't in the right direction. Building wealth required finance and determination also good financial management. Most people who are wealthy today started small and they directed there hard works in the part that will lead them to success.
I don't like the expression when people says grace. That word doesn't exist anywhere, it's a term we have fabricated and used wrongly because we think grace actually work but it doesn't work. When a man is prepared and luckily for them there preparation met with what they have been working for all those while and never came, then that's a happy moment for them. People that you think didn't do enough have done something before but you probably didn't see or because they never show it to you.
There are many people that are misled by this wrongly use word as grace. They see some wealthy people of been lucky but if you should do some background on some wealthy people, you will accept the good condition they are leaving because they have paid the price somewhere before they attained where they are at that money, not all of wealth people that we assume to had if easy have it that way, they habe sacrificed alot to get to that place.
I was thinking for a minute before I replied. I wanted to be fair to what you're saying. I would say you're half right.
The misuse is real. Individuals do pray for grace or luck or blessing to not have to experience the discomfort of trying not hard enough. It is a cultural issue and it's deep. In particular, in communities where passivity is cloaked in the guise of faith. I can't justify that.
But you made a jump from "people misuse the word" to "the concept itself is fabricated" and those are two very different claims. Just because people apply a concept lazily, it doesn't cease to be a concept. Gravity didn't stop working because someone didn't understand physics.
