Schlagwort: monetizing

We have all heard the same litany at some point or the other from parents, teachers, and mentors – work hard. The implication is that if you work hard you will be successful; it also implies that the concept of hard work is definitive and success is quantifiable. Is that really true?

To my mind, work can be labour intensive, purely cerebral or combinations of both. A Banker is equally as hardworking as a Baker, or do Bakers work harder than Bankers? hard work is relative, is it not? so how do you know when you are working hard enough? What if you’ve always worked hard but somehow you are not as ‘successful’ as some who seem to be putting in less effort?
