Just hard work doesn't guarantee wealth anymore.

[ingiltere]

It's not easy to build wealth anymore. There's a significant wealth transfer taking place especially in my country. Those close to the government continue to get richer. Earning money through hard work has always been difficult, but now it's harder than ever. If you don't have political connections, it becomes even more difficult. I don't think it's right to build wealth that way anyway. I'd rather earn less but make money fairly through my own hard work. That's better for me.

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.

Exactly. Working smart or working hard does not guarantee anything. Success is not something that can be easily achieved through hard work or intelligence alone. That's why many people work hard their whole lives and still do not get rich, and many people are very intelligent but do not succeed.

However, no one will succeed or become wealthy without hard work and intelligent thinking. Therefore, although there are no guarantees, if we want to succeed, we need to work hard and smart.

It is true that no matter how hard we work or plan, it does not guarantee success, but if we do not work and plan, then all the hard work is likely to be meaningless later. Many people do not achieve success despite working a lot because they may be working in the wrong place or are not getting the opportunity to express their skills or the environmental conditions are not in their favor. Similarly, many people, although intelligent, do not know how to put their intelligence to good use, how to discipline themselves, be consistent and take practical steps. If there is no hard work and intelligence, it is difficult to achieve great success in the long run. Working in the wrong way will not bring us the desired results, so along with hard work, it is necessary to increase our skills and make the right decisions according to our knowledge.

I don't accept such ideology that it is no longer easy building wealth, complete acceptance to this thinking may make some giveup on there dreams believing there is no way forward anymore.  Since the existence of this world it was not all that where born with a silver spoon rather some made themselves who they are through hardwork, perseverance, commitment and unsatisfactory decisions that denied them pleasure that lead to unimaginable wealth at last, which i am sure by so doing one can still find his way off poverty and become a topic to others.

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.

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.

Good point, the moment you realize that there's other ways or option to make money like investing or putting up your own business, where you are letting your money to work for you, aside from what you are earning from your day job, you can save some then invest from this, you are enabling the potential of growing your savings, though it's not going to happen instantly unless you are very lucky, but hardwork will help to acheived such goals.

We should think in a way where we use our money, then our money will work and that money make more money for us. We should think in a way where even if you are not working, money will keep making money for you. A job may give you a certain amount of income regularly, but investing, business or building the right assets gradually creates a position where your money starts making more money on its own. And one thing is that to achieve good success, we cannot depend just on our job, it is impossible to achieve success by working job alone, we have to focus on investment and business, this is the only way to achieve great success.

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.

Success cannot be achieved by working hard alone, but we must first make sure that our hard work is being done in the right place. Working hard in the wrong place will have no value, in the end it will only bring us emptiness. That is why we need to do research before working, what is the potential, and after seeing that potential, we should decide to work there. Working in the wrong place will only bring more losses, that is why we have to be careful from all sides. We have to work hard, but at the same time we have to have a prudent mindset and do research, so that the possibilities are in our favor, then our hard work can bring us effective results.

I would say right direction along with hard work is the key to success. If you in right direction only then hard work can take you to your desired objectives. Likewise if you are know the right direction but are not willing to work hard then you won't be able to get success in life. To get success make sure to correct your direction first and then work hard to make things work for you. For instance, if you want to excel in life then you have to chose the right profession first.

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…

I think in the world technology people don’t not just need hard working people but in addition been 50% smart should been added properly i think in the world of business people who make it possible to become don’t just made use of hard people but smart people too…

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.

Yeah, I also agree that hard work is going to pay off but I understand what Mr Reporter means. This world is already overcrowded and we compete with each other so relying only on hard work is not enough. We also need to become smart by showing new innovations, ideas and solutions to other people. Well, hard work itself includes many things, just like you said becoming smart also requires hard work as do developing skills, gaining experience and other things too.

However, you will never become rich without hard work, even if you choose the right path and have a perfect plan and strategy

As you said, building wealth is never easy and there are no shortcuts to getting rich quickly. Therefore, hard work is not the foundation or the only factor, but it is certainly indispensable on the journey to building wealth.

Instead of dreaming about luck or shortcuts, we should be realistic. If we want to build wealth, hard work and consistency are non negotiable.

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.

You have bring out point here, hard work in a very right direction definitely will bring out something positive, it is not that some people are lazy but they are not lucky to link up with the right direction that is why they ended up wasting their time just because they are in a wrong direction. Hardworking pay but it require a lot of patience, consistency and also courage to build it, because some of our youth today doesn't think of the background of someone since they just see that particular person is doing well, they started aiming but they don't want to start from were he started.
