I think "hard work" for me correlates with two important things: desire and humility. Desire leads to hard work because you just want to do something so badly; Humility leads to hard work because you understand that it is just so challenging to do anything of worth, esp. given that there are plenty of other people in the world. I would be curious to know: what great things were accomplished without hard work? Note that this is different than the mere notion of "success"; there are certainly plenty of "rich" people who have not worked hard.
