Do you believe that hard work pays off?

Filip Jovanovic, I have to say that sometimes I forget that Apsense is a business website....it makes me uneasy saying that I need someone else....the poor times I had early in my life I noticed that people around me complained that they needed government to step in and help them or some big business should pay them more.....someone took the time out to tell me to hard work pays off.

I'm financially set so far and the only reason I can explain is I out worker people who were much smarter than m

Well if we are going to primal instincts... If the goal is just to survive ok, you can accomplish it with hard work. If you want to thrive you can't on your own. If we look at factories or even plain craftsmen with a small workshop, hard workers do you no good if you don't have customers - hence the community. All in all, you need to combine both, hard work AND people around you.
Thank you for starting one ;) Have a great day!

Filip Jovanovic, I do agree on the first part....we all can be hit by a car on any given day but if we refuse to survive then....on the second part if you were the only person on the planet I'm sure you will make out OK......I believe every creature on earth has in their own right a natural instinct to live......if that has been removed then you are right you can't do anything without someone's help....thanks for the interesting discussion.

I understand what are you talking about Mike but sometimes you can be smart AND hard worker and still nothing. You can't do anything as one man. You need smart environment too.

Filip Jovanovic, I see what you are saying but would like to expand on that a bit....there is no guarantees in life no matter what we may believe...hard work without goal(s) or a solid plan is foolish.......the person who won't work at all or very little and expects much is insanity.....I often say that I would like a hard worker than a smart worker...I can teach anyone one to work a bit smarter but have no idea how to get a smart worker to be a hard worker.....the smart worker may get me to car

It depends on your environment and type of work. Sometimes you can work your rear end off and nothing will happen.

Ranjeet Kumar, I totally agree with you....there is little doubt that a doctor worked hard to be a doctor....a sports professional worked hard.....whatever anyone decides to do in life do it to your very best, especially for yourself and your family! Thanks again...

Yes! I believe on that, because without hard work anybody can not complete dream

Robert Hebel, normally I'm on the same page as you but doing this online thing since '99 part time and 2001 full time most of what I have started doing was something I never liked at first. I knew right on if I didn't learn what needed to be done and do it that nothing will be gained. My choices were to work hard for myself or punch a clock for someone else...now, over time things are like second nature to me....thanks.

Hard work online is getting up everyday 7 days a week and doing what you like to do online that is advertising, clicking links, aka surfing or searching for something to promote. The list goes on and on but it's what you want to do and what you feel good about doing. If you don't like it then I would say don't do it. People will figure thnigs out sooner or later hopefully it doesn't cost them to much.

Jamia Nagar, Iqbal Singh, I totally agree....it seems that the words hard work now is something most people are looking at as a bad thing! Thanks

Good one thanks if you have do hard work.

Yes obviously. If you do hard work then you will see the face of success.

Joseph Doyle, good one, thanks!

Isabelle Esling, I love life and what all it brings so no matter what I do I'm going to turn it into the blessing it is but I get your point. Thanks

Panda, the more I move up life's food chain the less I see honesty plays a serious part....your guy Donald Trump for instances which anyone can do a basic research on to see that he may only say one true thing in a day's time.

Google does things that cost people tons of money for their benefit through dishonest measures....just about every product pushed here on AP has questionable measures from pyramid to things that flat out don't work.

Facebook has an open backdoor through the deep web wh

Be consistent! Work your business~ & your business works for you ~
No pain~ no gain~ Aim High ~ "Dream Bigger" every day~ Work it!

It doesn't matter when it pays off. What matters is that I will not settle for any less. I do what I love and I love what I do.

Isabelle Esling, to me easy work now was at some point a bit difficult to learn....we put in the work it took to make it easy.....I believe not knowing you personally but seeing how you do you that if writing paid nothing from this day forth and you had to be a painter you would shortly be a great painter....sorry I'm making you speak too much today, thanks!

I believe that easy work pays off...work that I love and that doesn't feel like work..like writing.
