it's kinda funny that (some) people read 'work hard' as 1 and 1 thing only, work hard at your job. 'work hard' has a ton of applications;
1. work hard to expand your knowledge
of
a) a favourite subject/pastime (find a job you love and you'll never do a day's work in your life)
b) how to behave in different situations
c) how to conduct yourself with people in both your social and your business/work life
d) where opportunites might lie
e) etc
2. work hard to make sacrifices for just 1 year, in order to be able to take the risk of an opportunity in
a) a new job that pays less initially but where the pay is more eventually
b) starting up a business
c) moving to another area that isn't a crime-ridden shithole that demoralises you each time you walk out the door
d) taking an evening class in a better paid profession/business you want to start
e) etc
3. work hard in switching off the tv set 2 hours earlier each night to READ books on
a) a profession/business
b) investment
c) motivation
d) biographies of the successful
e) etc
4. work hard in weaning yourself off facebook/twitter/xbox/youtube for an hour less each day so you can
a) exercise to release more endorphins
b) burn off your 4 stone of excess flab
c) put 2 stone on your skinny ass
d) have more energy/zest to chase the things you want
e) etc
and so on and so on. 'work hard' doesn't just mean work hard at your job, it means work hard in all areas of your life - all of a sudden you'll get all this 'luck' that everyone except you seems to get
