Just hard work doesn't guarantee wealth anymore.

[Achalugo BTC]

Things have changed a lot ever since AI took the world by storm. Employers have been quickly replacing the human workforce with AI. All in an effort to increase productivity while keeping costs low. Greed has gotten in the way, and ruined everything.

Investing is the only way to build true wealth. Take two jobs and use the income to invest into assets or commodities with low supply and high demand. Or stick to one high-paying job and do the same. The thing is to make more than what you spend. It's hard, but not impossible to achieve. Let's just hope the entire global economy doesn't collapse overnight. That would be catastrophic.

Exactly, Economics is messy, that is why it's important for one not to put hope in one place or one asset because with the way things are going, it only takes someone who has different business ideas to survive. So, instead of panicking, they should earn more and spend less, especially on unnecessary things, as that way will help them in both good times and in bad times, the main point is that one should stay responsible and disciplined in all they are doing.

I wish getting these jobs are as easy as you think then it would be easier for mist people who are hungry for investments to start working really hard so they can save up to invest in different businesses but the truth is that getting a good job is very difficult and when you finally get some jobs the pay will hit be that reasonable to enable you save after making expenses. The goal is to be lucky to get a good job if you can be diligent to save up your money during the period of working you can invest and still be working and when you have made a good amount you can establish your own business.

The way things work sometimes we can not really explain, some people will be very hard working and smart at same time yet things won't go fine for them and sometimes they will be wondering why things are not going well with them and have you  seen such people and if yes have you asked yourself why?. i think being hard working and smart won't help, sometimes we need to look or seek for grace because some people that are not smart enough are doing well in life than people that are fucking smart however, if someone has the grace and isn't making good use of the privileges it will result to nothing.

Without doubt, intelligence and hard work sure does matter a lot, but just like I said previously, these are not enough to guarantee success, it could only take you farther enough. In order to achieve success, there are other things one must carry along in their bag pack, things like timing, you’ll need support, you’ll need opportunities and most of the times we need the grace of God, and I believe this one plays a way more vital role than the other factors.

In the past, people believed that if you work hard, you can definitely improve. But in the present era, people believe that not only hard work but also good planning and proper spending are done, then people can definitely change their situation very easily. If it were possible to become rich by working hard and earning a living, then rickshaw pullers, truck divers, bus drivers, masons and tailors would have the possibility of becoming rich very quickly. Because people in all these professions work tirelessly from morning to night. You have money, if you do not spend that money properly or do not spend it with a budget, then no matter how hard you work, you will not be able to improve. Even if someone has little money, if he can do business with a good plan, then he can change his situation even with a little effort.

In the past, hard work was considered the main key to progress, probably because most of the work was physical labor. At that time, most people did more physical work like cultivating crops, cutting trees or fishing, so it was logical to call hard work the key to luck. But in the present day, it is difficult to be successful if you do not work not only physically but also mentally. Because most of the work today is less physically demanding but more mentally demanding. Now most of the work is done by various advanced machines that were available in the previous era. So you have to use your intelligence to operate those machines. At the same time, you also need to know and understand how to increase production. These jobs are not only done with physical labor, but you also have to be mentally strong.

As the world progress with new technologies in our daily life including the usage of it in our work, a person who just work hard does not guarantee that he will generate a lot of wealth anymore in his life if he did not strive to improve and upskills himself with new technologies. It might be tough to constantly keep up with the new technologies but in this era of generation, it is advisable to always upskills and improve oneself through courses or via online self studying.

Indeed, not all hard work guarantees wealth. If we are just ordinary employees with a small salary, even if we work hard, we certainly won't get a very large salary that makes us rich. The lucky ones are the people who own the company. So, in essence, in this case, those who will become rich through hard work are those who own their own company. If not, it seems like it will be difficult to become rich

And certainly, with extensive knowledge and owning your own business, coupled with hard work, there is certainly potential for wealth However, owning your own company certainly requires a process that is not easy, especially if you lack funds and knowledge. But yes, that is the challenge of becoming rich It is certainly not easy, but with hard work, we have great potential for wealth

To be successful, you need everything, your own skills, hard work, the grace of the God, everything is needed. But you cannot rely on only one and avoid the others, like you think that by the grace of the God you will succeed someday, but in this expectation you do not do any work yourself, then you will never get the grace of the God. Your own will and efforts are needed first, and then the grace of the God.
We have to prepare everything with our own will, efforts, hard work, research, and then by the grace of the God we will achieve success from it. So the God will not make you successful without any of your efforts, rather success can be achieved by combining both the efforts of man and the grace of the God.

Exactly, Economics is messy, that is why it's important for one not to put hope in one place or one asset because with the way things are going, it only takes someone who has different business ideas to survive. So, instead of panicking, they should earn more and spend less, especially on unnecessary things, as that way will help them in both good times and in bad times, the main point is that one should stay responsible and disciplined in all they are doing.

In today’s economy, diversification is rhe best we can do. We should be able to diversify into different businesses and not just one singlw business. I know the economy has also made it difficult for one to so, due to the inflation which has ravaged our financial stability and the lack of structures by the government to ensure the ease of doing business are the reasons why just working hard today does no longer guarantee wealth anymore. As we are working hard, we should also be smart enough to adopt ways in which we will be able find solutions to these financial instability.

[GbitG]

Hmmm, that's interesting....
I will try to express my own view......
Well, the fact is that God didn't give the same mindset to all people. Some people have a good mind with weak physical strength despite some people have a weak mind with strong physicality. So both can't be worked on the same way. So simply is that some people can work hard to find the big income while some people works smart.

This all idealogy are centered around time. If someone is working 24/7 then then our society call him hard worker man but honestly the man who took little time on work and think more about the work road map then probably he is the real hard worker and definitely he can create more productivity than a man who just only pushing for hard work rather work on mind.

This is what needs to be done, different sources of income and different types of assets should be created, not just one thing. You have to build everything in such a way that even if you suffer a loss from one side, the other source compensates you for that loss. But in the end, for these, not only hard work but also adequate knowledge, skills, research are required. Inflation will never end, so now we have to learn to survive against this inflation, and fight against it hard.
And apart from that, don't want the government on your side, you have to move forward without any help from the government, this is the reality, we never get government support, expecting to get it is a luxury. Do your own research, there is no one by your side, you have to move forward alone, work hard, do research, plan properly, maintain risk management. You have to be careful from all sides, without this, it is not possible to succeed in the current harsh reality.

Just as it is not right to become rich by working hard, it is also not right to become rich without working hard. To become rich, that is, to achieve success, one has to work hard in the right way at the right time. One has to be disciplined in work. There are many construction workers in my area who work day and night, but due to their lack of skills, they are unable to go from poor to rich. Again, there are some skilled people who are using their skills and are rising to the peak of progress through hard work.
In fact, to achieve success in life, one has to work hard in addition to being skilled.

I agree with you that skills are important but it is not as simple as this formula is, work hard plus skills is equal to success, there are countless number of people who are skilled and discipline but they have never accumulated wealth because they face limited opportunities and they have to face low wages or they have to face extreme economic conditions or they do not have access to the required amount of fund, construction workers are very skilled at their work but they do not get the required amount of reward.

Wealth is a combination of multiple factor, including demand for us scale, ownership investment opportunity and also luck and conconnection, it does not only depend on scales and effort alone.

Even if the jobs today has different ways it requires people to execute them but becoming wealthy through it is always uncertain so long as you are an employee to a company because your salary is one thing you would no if there will be progress for you in the future because is not only about how effective and hardworking you are giving yourself to the company, if your salary doesn't go way above your household expenses twice a month it might be very difficult for person to achieve any wealth because the process requires high working earners and people who would be able to save up money to own a business.

I also always give great importance to this issue, in the present era, it is not enough to just work hard, but if you cannot adapt yourself to the way the era is changing, then you will never be able to move forward with the era in the future. Technology is changing very fast and you have to adapt yourself to that change, because everything is now gradually becoming technology-dependent, so you can never be left behind in this regard. That is why the importance of learning is endless, and since this is now happening in reality, you must learn it to use technology in your daily work.

Diversifying is not always a guarantee for many people, and if one is planning to diversify to earn more, it is important to be sure that this will yield good results. There are some people who diversify as if the workload is too much for them.

It is even better for one to look into what they think can be done best to bring good results. If one is thinking about diversifying, it should be done when there is a better outcome from what you already have at hand; but if there is still struggling, there is no point in diversifying.

Definitely, the G factor is very much need, including your skills, knowledge and hardwork.. And also opportunities are very important as well.. The reason why some persons in some part of the world seems to be more successful than others in other part of the world like Africa, is simply because they have more access to opportunities, unlike some part of Africa that opportunities are way more limited..
Not that the others are not hardworking, it’s just the a difference of access to opportunities..

There's a saying that we should "work smarter, not harder". Like you've said, not all hard work guarantees wealth. You can work hard, but without a sound financial strategy, you will end up in bankruptcy. There are people who work less and are still able to pay their bills and live a comfortable life. It's all a matter of spending less than what you earn, while putting the rest of your money into assets and/or commodities (investing).

I understand it becomes harder to save and invest during periods of persistent inflation. But with time and dedication, anything's possible. Never say never. Hopefully, the global economy recovers soon.

I don’t think there have been a period of generation where hard work guarantees wealth. What I know is Working hard get you the opportunity to meet up with your daily end to end needs but guaranteeing wealth is not possible. A wealthy man barley even get engage in his business physically, but rather they look for a smarter way to get businesses done.

Just that we are now seeing it now because these generations have put it to themselves that they prefer to work smarter. Look within your community, the older people that are poor are those ones that worked hard physically all their lives.

So not just now, but it has been their that working smarter beats hard work.

You're right, working smart is more important than working hard. However, that does not mean hard work is no longer important. You can have a good financial strategy, knowledge, and skills, but without the effort and discipline to execute them, they won't bring you success.

I have met some people who work less but still live a comfortable life, but that doesnt mean they are not hardworking. Most of them have also gone through period of nonstop hard work, quietly building their foundation before reaching where they're today.

Similarly, most of the wealthiest people have had to invest a great deal of time and effort before they could enjoy the success they achieved. None of them became rich simply by working less than other from the beginning.

I read in an article that ownership is the main driving force of wealth, but in the modern society, if you want to be an entrepreneur, you will have to face various obstacles. You will have to face criticism, you will be pulled from behind and above all, you will be threatened with loss. The education system of many countries is teaching the technique of slavery.

The education system is set up in such a way that a person cannot acquire the skills to do anything on his own or become an entrepreneur after completing his education. From the very beginning, you will have to work hard for a job under others and you need a low-paid job because you have to meet the basic needs of your family.

There are many factors that prevent entrepreneurs from becoming entrepreneurs in a community, one of which is the fear of poverty. The more you can be kept within the poverty line, the stronger the ruling class will become. You will be needed and you will also work for low wages in exchange for money. This is equivalent to finding and exploiting opportunities. Hard work brings success, this is true, but the owner community benefits the most from this hard work. Even if the working class keeps production going, the employers fear poverty, so they don't protest. If they have to lose their jobs, their families will go hungry.

It is even better for one to look into what they think can be done best to bring good results. If one is thinking about diversifying, it should be done when there is a better outcome from what you already have at hand; but if there is still struggling, there is no point in diversifying.

From an economic standpoint, diversification is rarely frowned upon In fact, traditional finance has always advocated for not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Back in the 1980s and 2000s, standard diversification meant allocating capital across real estate, physical or paper gold, government bonds, and traditional bank savings. However, bank interest rates never offered substantial returns compared to modern assets. That was the classical approach to wealth preservation.

Today, the landscape has evolved While diversification still makes sense, my priority would be allocating a significant portion of capital to Bitcoin first, followed by real estate and perhaps a small hedge in physical gold or cash for extreme real world emergencies What I would definitely avoid is spreading capital into altcoins, as that often introduces unneeded risk rather than true diversification.
