I did a lot of hard work $14 an hour digging graves. Now I hard work remotely in a chair as a developer after meeting the right connections. Hard work is like saying if you put your foot on the gas you’ll win the race. It’s part of it but without the rest you’re likely in a parking lot with the engine off stepping on a pedal. I couldn’t have changed my life without my parents letting me move back in for a bit. The more you struggle to survive the more distracted you are from changing your survival strategy.
- ozim 5y agoI think no one argues that it is about hard work like burning oneself for a single company. Maybe older folks that were working in a single company their whole life. It is more that you still had to work hard to learn development and get those connections. So it is working hard for yourself like learning new things doing hard things. Stepping down and looking around what else you can do or change is also often hard. Getting every day up and keeping your flat in order at some times is harder, especially if you have demanding physical job. Where the opposite is drinking six pack each evening and watching tv-series or playing games and sticking up with working hard in dead-end job. Just to clarify, there are also all kind of in-between strategies where some weeks you just get lazy and drink beers and some weeks where you read 3 books and learn something awesome. In the end there is that joke: CEO jumps out of his brand new car and sees intern - Hi, you noticed my car, get up earlier, work harder, then I will be able to get even a better one. Point is work harder but for yourself. Sometimes life sucks and for some people just getting out of the bed in the morning might be hard work.
