HARD WORK

Needing much energy is a test of persistence. Hard work means exerting your abilities with priority and intensity. Hard work is the foundation of productive and efficacious performance in life. If work means exertion of power then hard work is exerting your power with priority and intensity to the rejection of other alternatives.

Hard work is a method of transforming both the world and yourself creating a relationship between you and the world. The result of hard work is SUCCESS; Success is no accident, it comes from hard work, perseverance, sacrifice, sweat, determination, vision, dedication, consistency, thriving on challenges, self believe, struggle and learning from failure. Thomas A. Edison said "there is no substitute for hard work".

Hard work is not your regular work or your daily routine. It is above and beyond, it is the only thing that will push you above and beyond. What makes hard work really hard isn't the work itself but the decision to work hard towards a better fulfillment. It's complete honest self-evaluation, extreme personal sacrifices and the ever-lurking uncertainty. Success doesn’t happen by chance, it takes strategic actions in the right direction to get there. There are more failures during the journey than most people allow themselves to admit, it’s just that the stories about overnight success sound better (alternative).

At the end of the day, it’s all about how hard you’ve worked on the right thing, the one which will get you closer to your goal. If success was free, everyone would have it; Successful individuals put in productive efforts before they get results. While working hard on what you believe in, your understanding holds true value.

THE STEPS OF HARD WORK

The Guide: This is the insight, the urge, the spur, the originality, the stimulus and the entire reason you work hard. This is the engine that pushes your efforts forward.

The target: If the guide is the heart of your hard work, then the target is the skeleton. The target maps out your course of action and helps push your progress also keep you on track.

The struggle: The struggle is the point when working hard stops being fun and starts becoming arduous, monotonous, boring and stressful perhaps even discouraging. How you handle the struggle is what differentiates the go-getter from the quitters.
