Most of the millions of people who are grinding their lives away on really hard work, like hard physical labor, are really not making any significant amount of money. Only some of us are lucky enough to be in a spot where we get good return on their work. On the other hand, it isn't really hard to find people who ended up with a fortune or a cushy spot because they won the birth lottery or had connections. Undeniable observations like these are what weaken the correlation of hard work with money, if we can be honest about it for just a minute or two. Similar observations show that showing up early and staying late do not necessarily lead to a lot more things being accomplished.
