Just hard work doesn't guarantee wealth anymore.

[Mando100]

My take on this is that ‘Ownership’ comes from dedication which can be also be refer to as Hard work, Hard work doesn’t only mean something that requires physical strength, it also means effort, time and consistency.

Hence, these are what gives birth to ownership of businesses and investment. So till date, Hard work with touch of smartness is still the key to success.

Hard work alone will not guarantee you wealth rather smart work guarantee's you wealth. Hard work makes you work for the owner of the work because you want to impress him and you don't want to lose your job. If hard work guarantees wealth then all those doing menial jobs just to earn a living would have been wealthy people. The wealthy people employ those who work hard for them because the hard working man makes the wealthy man's business to grow. Have you seen those working on a construction site? They work hard just to earn a living mean while the contractor is the one getting the whole wealth.

Working smart does not guarantee you will be rich if you do not work hard. Have you ever met someone who earns a lot of money or become wealthy without working hard?

Do you think those bosses do not need to work hard? They were even harder working and put in far more effort than the other worker. Although not physically exhausted, they endure mental stress and the risk of loss that most worker never face


Do not overestimate the importance of working smart and underestimate the importance of working hard. Those are the two key factor that enable us to become wealthy. So, combining both is the necessary approach.

Well from my perspective i think from what the world is telling and turning into now I think hard work doesn’t even have the right to show it self because from basically how things are been run people don’t see reasons to work hard but think smart run the best and that why people don’t easily become too rich with been only a working hard but additional should add smart work to the table…

In this case, what do you want to say, if a person is to be successful, he only works on intelligence? Yes I believe, intelligence helps people get ahead and difficult tasks can be done very easily. But hard work never fails and if he works properly he will surely succeed. If thinking like a donkey,Then you can never improve. Because the donkey only works day and night but does not use his thinking or intelligence. So we should make right decisions by using our intelligence along with hard work.

Hardwork may not guarantee wealth in this contemporary society,that’s why people are expected to work smart and also work hard.Just for instance,they are two laborers in a field and both laborers are asked to cut down some trees and one of them was busy using a blunt cutlass while the other was using a sharp cutlass,in this scenario both laborers are hardworking but one of them chose to work smart and reserve he’s energy for some other activities.So in essence,working hard isn’t enough factor that guarantees wealth rather add wisdom to the hardwork to see some profitable results.

You know, sometimes people do under estimate the power of working smart, meanwhile it’s a very very important tools when it comes to wealth creation. Sometimes even a bit important than working hard (don’t get me wrong, working hard is also important).
I’m saying this, because I have seen cases were people who worked smarter, out performed those that worked hard, it’s just a cycle that keep repeating itself. So when it comes to wealth creation, we have to be able to balance both working hard and smart.

Actually, we have to work hard, but at the same time, if we cannot find the right place using our intelligence, that is, if we keep working hard in the wrong place, then we will just get more lost. So along with physical work, we have to use intelligence. Many people cannot reach the place even after working day and night, where someone else reaches it with relatively less work through proper planning, right decisions and intelligence. So we have to be smart, not just hardworking, rather we have to work smartly.

That’s just it. It goes both ways, not just one. Hard work is important, so is smart work important. Y without one you can stay stuck for a long time with no progress. So it’s both equally important.
Because while working hard, you also need to think and make decisions smarter. learning from what you’re doing, and adjust when something is not working. Some times you don’t even need to work more than others, by just moving smarter you’re good to go.

A couple of decades ago, we lived by the saying; "hard work ensure success".
In recent times, that is however not the case, as the whole system is evolving.

One can consider working for more hours as hard work, consider that with the wages on display currently as in most cases wages don't match the level of work, and the drastic economic situations, expenses are sure outweighing incomes from wages.

Hard work can lead to productivity and productivity can lead to more income for owners, not workers, as workers may be compensated with just a little pay rise. This then leads to my point, wealth comes from ownership of assets; such as businesses, real estate and even stocks, and not necessarily by hard work, systems are changing, and ownership income is increasing.

The class discrimination in the world continues to be the same as it was in the past and it is almost certain that this class discrimination will increase in the future. Most of the wealth in the world is owned by a few elite classes. They have the wealth and the necessary materials to keep the production system running.

Those upper class businessmen create employment by keeping the production system running and skilled and unskilled people earn money there through hard work. Look at the big businessmen/elite community in the world, they did not build this wealth in a day, they have become the owners of a lot of wealth through hard work and disciplined living.

Hard work gets you there for sure, but it's no longer enough, ownership is the wealth engine!

Your idea is not right. Success comes through hard work. You have to work hard and be accustomed to a disciplined life. You have to acquire skills and take risks in some cases, only then can you be successful. Those who want to be successful without hard work are drowning in mistakes.

Hard work is good quite alright, but smart work is the only way to get rich, because any money that is made, and is not invested will not produce more money, and you are going to work again in the future, once you finish making use of it for your basic needs. But if you invest, by making your money work for you, that is the only way your money can multiply on it own, even when you are asleep, so smart work beat hard work every day, even though most people wouldn't agree to this.

Furthermore, working too hard will only deteriorate your health, which will make you not to be strong enough to enjoy the money you work so hard for, so too much hard work can even be a threat to your health, unlike smart work.

Everybody have their own thinking of define hard work, but I disagree with anyone who says that hard work doesn't pay, for someone to be successful is a very different thing entirely and that is why it can comes in any direction. Even the smartness that you are saying definitely it takes you time to realize that and that also is hardworking, it is very difficult to see someone that is successful today without see any hardship. Some people can disagree with me but I stand firmly that hard work pays, I have encounter so many people that are lifted through their hard work.

What you said where I bolded is true because I have listened to those that have been very successful in life talk about why they went through when they were starting, it has never been a good story, they all went through different thing or the other, it has always like that, I think you're making an interesting point where you pointed out that be it smart work or whatever, they are also smart work, now I want you to understand something, hardwork can not be seen as nothing because it the foundation of smart work right but in real sense what pays more is smart work because it brings out the best in you for whatever services you offer to be patronized by many persons that knows your worth.

Indeed hard work pays, but over long term at the cost of your own physical and mental health and that is why smart work has superseded hard work. Still most people are not having those smarts to be able to delegate and organize work in a such a manner that it get solved smartly.

The people who are working hard, indeed they will deserve to get paid. Over time they will gain experience and be able to execute smartness.

So work will get some payment, but ones needs to understand their worth as well. Dont get stuck in the status quo.

It must be acknowledged that working smart is more effective in helping someone achieve success. I’m sorry, but I have to say this. Many people work hard yet still remain in poverty. If you say they aren’t trying, I disagree because I’ve seen countless people who leave early in the morning and return late at night yet still struggle in life. Are they not working hard? They work very hard, but that alone isn’t enough in my opinion.

Yet others who sleep in and come home earlier actually fare better in life, partly because they work smart. And especially if they do both, of course that would be even better in my opinion.

Regardless of all that, I believe luck also sometimes plays a role. After all, there are people who work hard but aren’t lucky enough, while others are quite fortunate.

And what’s even more important is privilege; sometimes they don’t work hard or work smart, but the privilege they possess helps them immensely.

Op, let's me just say in major reality of today's economy, hard work still matters because it builds confidence skills and also discipline but I don't think hard work along can creat wealth, but labor can. In government sectors or civil servants spent much times and hours working hardly and they are not wealthy because they hard work earned can sustain them, due to the high cost of living. Meanwhile the Business owner o4 investors today actually continue to grow wealth because they benefit from thier ownerships returns. In my opinion hard work or much effort can lead you alone,but even an assets owner like real estate create income even when it's not working actively every hours,moreover that's doesn't mean hard work is useless,but a person who works and make savings or investing the money into Bitcoin has a higher advantages of becoming wealthy than someone who doesn't invest on any valuable assets and then depends on salary only. So hard work still remain important by working smartly

I agree with you that no one can achieve success without hard work and overcoming all challenges and difficulties. Honestly, I have never met anyone like that, and like you, most of the wealthy people I have met have been very hardworking

I would also like those who claim we can succeed by working smart while ignoring hard work to give me one specific name. I mean, I really need an example, a concrete proof.


Because, in reality, working smart and working hard are not two opposite thing. They are like two side of the same coin, and if we want to succeed, we need to combine both.

[Renampun]

I disagree with those words because rich people also work hard to achieve their success.. they also spend so much time studying, looking for opportunities, building networks, and even sacrificing so many things to achieve their success. so I think in this case it needs to be seen in a larger context that hard work is still relevant and important to be able to achieve success in life.. and then only then is it accompanied by intelligence and various other things that can make someone reach the level of success they dream of.

[marrcelo]

Most people work just to survive. they pay bills buy food and keep going day by day. in many countries people dont even have time to study because they start working very young to help their families. in some places corruption or dictatorship also makes life harder. workers cant even protest freely without fear of prison or problems with the government. for many people getting rich is not even the priority anymore.

I believe that it is wrong to expect to get anything without hard work. Some say that working hard to earn money is not rational, but they think so because they are lazy. The family financial capacity of those people who think so may be relatively good. A poor/rich person can never survive in society without hard work. If you are the owner of a lot of wealth in your family, you have to be hardworking to protect that wealth. Some people work hard to acquire wealth, some people work hard to protect wealth.

If you review the biographies of every successful person not only in the present time but also in the past, you will realize that they have become the owners of a lot of wealth through hard work.

Working smart AND working hard both do not guarantee anything either. Nothing in the world could guarantee you money or success, there is nothing that is like a template where you do it and you get money, tis just not possible.

You just do it, and hope that it works and if you are right then you could make money and if you are wrong then you won't. It's a bit of luck as well, some dude making a video going viral doesn't mean that you will go viral too, nor does it mean all of his videos would.

It's a known fact that business owners are more richer or wealthier than their employees,  but that does not mean that hardwork is not needed, because it's not everyone one that have the finance to start up a firm of their own.  I think hardwork is important if you want to make it in life, but I don't think that's enough,  you need to work smart and also try to aquire skill that can take you to the next level. You should also make out long and short term plans for yourself and try to work towards it. I think if you do this and you are consistent in what you are doing, you are definitely on the right part.

Hard work brings success. But if that hard work is without a plan, it has no value and success is not guaranteed. Therefore, hard work should be based on proper planning, skills and decisions. It is true that the owner of a business gets richer than his employees. However, a person who is an employee of that business is not a failure. It is important that he can find opportunities to improve from his own position. Great results are obtained only when hard work is combined with intelligence. In the present era, not only the ability to work is important to move forward, intelligence, skills and professional experience are also needed to help a person move forward. Those who work patiently and based on a plan move forward gradually and their chances of success increase. Therefore, along with hard work, proper planning, intelligence and continuous efforts are necessary.
