by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - October 9, 2007 - 'The Greatest' Philosophy
A good number of people would say that hard work is the key to making things happen. If you work hard, you will achieve your goals. There is little doubt that people who work the hardest sometimes achieve their goals. However, goals are multifaceted and include not only work, finances, the family, friendships, philosophy, health and where I stand at the moment of death. Putting more hours into family doesn’t necessarily spit out a better family situation. In most of the people that I truly respect in their achievements balance the various aspects of their life. I know a lot of rich people who don’t work very hard. I know a lot of people who became wealthy but worked far less than those who make much less money.
While I don’t believe that working hard can ever be a negative in and of itself, I don’t think that hard work is the dominate force in making things happen.
