Just hard work doesn't guarantee wealth anymore.

[Zanab247]

If people only get rich through hardwork then it means that a lot of people wouldn't be struggling today, hardwork isn't the only thing that's necessary in becoming wealthy especially in today's world where we have a lot of information out there. All that's required of you is to get information and have the right connections, most people that got rich today didn't really have to go through the process of working hard. There are people that work hard to get rich and they are able to achieve that but this doesn't work for everyone.

Not only hardwork people can get rich, because there are some parents that are rich through their parent because their parents didn't allowed them to go through what they went through to became wealthy.  There are some wealthy family that want their children to go through what they went through to acquire what they achieved to make them who they are today, which is not a good advise to children, because your children will not be happy with you for the challenges they will go through to achieve their goal.

There are some information that will lead people to prison, because they follow bad guys to hack people account to gain access to their money or wallet is a bad habit that will make such person or group of people not to live a good live.

First of all, no one should undermine hardwork because it's very much relevant today, but it's not really all there is to becoming successful like a lot of people think. There are lots of people that think the only way to achieve what they want is by working hard but that's a wrong orientation they have. If you can take advantage of the informations on the internet and work Smart you can also become successful.

Blindness hardwork is just stupidity, legitimate smartness will always be award 10 times more than hardwork, the only way hardwork holds value when it is applied in a smart way. One thing I have come to see in this my environment is that hardwork only gets you the bare minimum, if you aren't smart to take advantage of current threads, you will be the one taken advantage of.

Overall, hardworking should be applied in the right way to achieve some level of success

There is this saying which says, Work Smart not hard. We all know working hard Will always have a huge impact in everything you choose to do, but applying some wisdom into it will allow you spend less energy in doing that same exact thing, and that energy reserved can be channeled in to something else that will be resourceful.

We are in a computer age now and those who are smart, intellectually sound are being rewarded more than those that only have hard work to offer. When you take a look at the world entirely today, the most successful business, individuals, company are the ones that can think of something different, something smart.

Hard work can get you an average life but working smart can get you a life you can barely imagine.

Hardwork can't stand alone to guarantee success that's why it has several components, and without considering it components you will not be able to follow the appropriate ways in pursuing your dreams. Hard work cannot perfect imperfections, you must be well educated, smart, and creative. Setting up your goals is actually very important, and choosing a lucrative journey is the key. Along with your hard work, your commitment, dedication, loyalty, and honesty, all these consecutive things plays a vital role in the journey of success.

Good... lack of experience made me believed that hardworking guarantee success in everything, back then. But as I begins the journey of life full with lessons and learning alongside hardworking, the experience I had has totally changed my beliefs/ perspective, because I have seen a lots of responsible and honest people in this era, working hard like there's no tomorrow, given everything or putting all energy they have just to survive, yet the current economy situation continues making life more difficult for them to survive. But that doesn't really mean that efforts doesn't have any value,  but working hard alone is not always enough for common man. At this era I do believe in having many skills and making good financial decisions like business ideas is the only way to guarantee success. Working hard smartly and make a good decisions.

Does hard work pay off? Yes it does but it doesn't guarantee that someone would be wealthy. Someone can be working very hard and end up getting peanuts for the effort. Left for me i prefer working smart than hard cause when you apply smart  work you'll be on the right path of knowing how to acquire wealth. What some people don't understand is that wealth is not something that can be easily achieved in one day except someone is lucky to win a lottery or gifted with huge amount of money and if the person is not wise enough to maintain and sustain the wealth acquired in such manner, such person could go back to square one.

[jvanname]

The only way to gain wealth is to say a lot of stupid shit to appeal to stupid people because most people are exceptionally stupid.

Though I’m not against smart work,but a lot of people mistake smart work for other things.For instance,most people would say working smart is a way to gain faster profit in regards to the crypto market like individuals participating in shitcoins just to make quick profit at the end of the day.Does that mean they’re using smart means to earn profit in a short interval?Anyways it could be referred to smart work,but in my own opinion smart work means using your resources and effort in a way it could produce something useful and better than wasting your time and energy and still not having something better and useful to show forth.But you must be calculative when it comes to working smart.

Many people think that the only key to success is to work hard. But if we do not have the right research, then we will never be able to achieve the desired results through hard work alone. Along with hard work, the right direction, the ability to make the right decisions are also equally necessary.
You will get the result by working hard in an inappropriate place, but rather then you will get much richer results if you work less hard then that in a suitable place. So we have to understand that working for years with the wrong goal or ineffective method will not bring the desired results, so not only hard work, but first we have to do research, make the right plan, maintain prudence, and move forward with everything in this way.

Hard work without applying wisdom is nothing, as one will just stress themselves for nothing. Honestly you're right, hard work doesn't guaranteed success alone because the economy back then and now is not the same, as of then, one can just work hard and make but now smart work wins the race with the help of hard work, as one will be adding different ideas to make things more easier for them and to be of support to others as they can make good choices that will prevent them from mistakes.

Every century have their own way of making money and that is exactly happening in this 21 century, in this era only the smart works win especially now that artificial intelligence have come to claim everything from us, hard work actually pay but not as it used to be then, you only require very little of it now and you realize a lot of benefits. The system have upgraded that is why technology has taken everywhere, most especially artificial intelligence, it will be to our own advantage to adapt the artificial intelligence so that things will be more easier and also escape from been replace by AI.

It’s true Not only can hardworking people become wealthy, but there are some parents who are wealthy because their parents did not allow them to go through the same experiences they had.  Some wealthy families want their children to go through what they went through to become who they are today, which is bad advice for children because your children will be unhappy with you for the difficulties they will face in achieving their goal.

There is some information that will land people in prison because they follow evil guys to hack people's accounts in order to acquire access to their money or wallets. This is a negative habit that will cause such a person or group of people to live a horrible life.

It's true that the economy then and now is not the same. Things have changed a lot. But was it really true that people could become successful simply by working hard back then? I do not think so. If success were simply about hard work, I think most of our parent would have become wealthy by now. Most farmers will also become wealthy, because they work from early morning until late at night. Hard work has never guaranteed success, no matter what century we're talking about.

Likewise, working smart does not guarantee success in this era either. Success is complicated and comes from a combination of many different factor. Success is not simply about working smart and hard.

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.

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

Hard work has always been in the front roll of being wealthy but now in these present generations and the era of internet you just need to be smart and work smart and you will get to any height you want, social media as its disadvantages and all but it has only made many people wealthy. The Internet has really changed the definition of hard work as even the ones that are not working hard are getting wealthy by doing little things and then there are other people working hard but still have nothing so now I think it's smart work that makes you wealthy.

A job has never guaranteed that you would become wealthy simply by working. I think that with a good job, perhaps as a middle or senior manager, you can earn enough to live comfortably, buy a home, a car, and everything you need, and maybe even build a small amount of capital for future investments. But when we're talking about being an employee, I don't believe that alone will ever make you truly rich, I'm almost certain of that.

[Unknown Op]

Hard work alone can not bring forth richness if the person doesn't learn to be consistent and be patient with the little things they do. Not by sticking to a particular thing without diverting their strength and knowledge to other business or investment ideas. Because work, work alone will not bring forth wealth, if not for daily food on the table. What will actually bring forth wealth is the business and investment made for long term purposes. Most people have found out that it is not hard work that can give wealth, but the business and investment you already have in place that can keep you ahead of the bad economy destabilizing wealth growth

I agree that luck, intelligence and hard work all play very important roles. Still, I do not think that luck is as important as we give it credit for. Luck creates opportunities but it does not sustain long term success. Some people are very fortunate enough to have multiple opportunities. Still, they fail to capitalize because they do not have the required amount of persistence and discipline in their life; similarly, some people are not that lucky.

However, they still built successful careers; they made their business very successful through their consistent learning, effort, hard work and good decision-making. There are factors that we can control: our work, our ethics and our willingness to improve; they have much more influence on success than depending on luck.

[BItcoin Guy@]

We need to be smart and join it with hard-work before we can become rich, because when we’re talking about hardworking without getting experience about what you’re chasing, he will be a waste of time and losing opportunities. You need to look for knowledge and make your hardworking go smoothly and achieve your goal. If hard work can make you rich, everyone in this world should have been rich, and there won’t be any poverty in any country. But because you need to be smart and be educated on what you’re doing before you can probably get the wealth, but hardwork can keep you pushing to chase your goal. You need to be disciplined and consistent before you can succeed, and be patient always, and you get what you need when the time comes.

Hardworking in the olden days are all about on your jobs, today it's not the same thing.
Hard working today is about AI or Bitcoin.

Let's say you can put all that hardwork on Bitcoin accumulation, you will surely become successful
Let's say you can put in hardwork on AI, data center or other,  you will be successful.

The thing is things are different now, you need to make sure to follow where the money is going, if BlackRock can be here for Bitcoin, that's a big sign on its own, the era of getting successful with Jobs is over.

When we are talking about hard work it doesn't have any business with being educated or not because I have seen people who are not educated yet they are hard working and doing better than most eudcated people. These folks I'm talking about are very creative mean while there are some educated people who are not hard working and not creative either though not all of them likewise uneducated people not all of them are productive. However, being educative can be a very big advantage.

Hard work does not guarantee success and there has been misconception about this for years without knowing what can be the cause. There are people that are working very hard everyday to make sure they provide food and amenities for their family and still get they are not getting rich. There is a problem that needs to be fixed in this case and this includes doing the same thing over again that does not yield a fortune. We don't have to follow people that have been hustling without focusing on what other people are doing that is making them to become financially stable. Remote jobs have been the ones that have been helping so many people leave the kind of lifestyle they want.

Job is mainly for financial stability, it will never be possible to create a lot of wealth for the future by just by this job, if you do not do any investment or business along with your job. According to you, a middle or senior manager is definitely good, but this is only few people in a company, where there are about a thousand employees working in a company, then what about them? So the main thing is that we should not be limited to just a job, no matter how much money I get in my job, I must create a separate source of income with this money, and make a long-term investment. A part of the income will be invested, and an asset has to be created that increases in value over time. I can never rely on this fixed salary from my job for my entire life, it will be a big mistake, and you will have to pay the price for this mistake when you retire from your job.

Except for those who inherited wealth, were born into wealthy families, or won the lottery, can you name a few wealthy people who became rich without working hard?

You are right that hard work isn't the only factor required to become wealthy. But it isn't true to say that many people today can become wealthy without working hard. To be honest, I have never seen anyone become wealthy without hard work, except for the cases I have mentioned.

If you want to become rich, you need to work hard. Otherwise, no amount of information or connection will make you wealthy.

Yes, it is true, and we cannot deny that wealthy people benefit from having a good background, such as family wealth, their education, an influential network, or a good amount of capital. Still, these advantage do not guarantee success, but it also means that it is not impossible for people who do not have all of these thing to be successful; there are still countless entrepreneurs and businessmen who have started with a very low amount of capital or have a modest background and built successful companies because of their persistence and skills.

As far as OpenAI is concerned, Elon Musk was one of its earlier backers, but he is no longer involved with this. Having earlier funding from a wealthy investor does not mean that the company will be successful; it does not guarantee success. Every business still has to attract its customers with talent or build a product that people want and is competitive in the market
