  1. Hard work is a pretty ambiguous notion. I've thought a lot about how many things it could mean. It's used very abstractly. It seems to generally mean what this guy defines it as. You work fast and efficiently. But it has little to nothing to do with industriousness it seems.
    You can meet and work with people who really bust their ass at a blue collar job but then go home and lay about drinking beer for the rest of the night.
    Could hard work also refer to how much time you put into thinking and planning what you want to do with your life as this guy was discussing? It can mean many things imo.

  2. Shout out to all the cooks and janitors. Please know that your contribution to society is massively valuable, and that you are underrated. Don't worry about not driving a Bentley, that won't make you happy and so that is what is overrated. Keep working hard ladies and gentlemen

  3. A friend of mine was doing this new job at Walmart called OGP and it was a mess. No matter how hard he worked, it felt like the system he was following was just making it harder than it needed to be.

    But over time, he found ways to make it easier and began to just make the changes from behind the scenes. When no one listened to him to follow what he had put together, he got fed up and transferred to a new position. Which took a good 2 to 3 months to happen.

    A few weeks after he left, someone told him that she didn't realize how easy he made it when he was there and asked what he did to make the job just easier to deal with.

  4. Like Jim Rohn said. Work harder on yourself (build skills) than on your job. The market place pays you for what it thinks your labour is worth, not for how hard or long you work.

  5. Regardless of what you do
    To succeed in that field you must work hard
    It’s your decision to pick what you do
    Not a fault of Hardwork

  6. I agree that hard work is essential for success. However, I think it's important to work smart as well as hard. There are many ways to streamline your workflow and be more efficient. It's also important to take breaks and avoid overworking yourself.

  7. I get it…

    But fuck talkin down about janitors. Like ok, I’m not sayin the guy humble enough to clean the shitters even needs a Bentley, but fuck we absolutely need a level of “this job needs to get done and we honor the people doing the shitty jobs.”

    My whole life, seeing all these talking heads and they miss it. Every fucking time.

  8. Also the idea that some of these jobs are hard i think is false. If everyone can become a janitor or a waiter is it really hard to be one? There is one thing that a job is taxing or tiring and another of what it truly requires of an undividual to act out their role. I am sorry for spitting the truth the hard way and maybe oversimplyfing but i believe if the barrier to entry is easy i classify the job as easy even if it might not appear to be cause then its the "easy" choice.

  9. Working hard helps you win at what you do… I look at businesses owned by people who work hard and I can tell what businesses to stay away from. If the amount of work you're doing doesn't translate to a commensurate amount of money then that's a bad path in life.

  10. Hard work on the right thing matters.
    If you're in the same industry with a friend and he tells you work hard.

    Best believe if you don't and he does he is going miles ahead of you.

    Trust me they're tons of people who have selected your project as well

    If you're on track which I'm guessing you are, the key to finish this level is HARD WORK.

  11. Well sir, you don't have to worry about that one bit ! I own a business and I can't find one single soul who wants to do ANYTHING remotely resembling work. Playing video games in Mom's basement… at 30 ! Is about the limit nowadays…
