Hard work or Hard luck Hard work has been the main reason for success throughout history. Inventors‚ sinentest and leaders are examples of successful workers who scarify a lot of things in order to privilege. Some people claim that hard work is the only means to success and luck has nothing to do with it‚ while others say that luck is a main factor for successes. I believe that hard work is a very important factor for success and the hard luck is a secondary reason we must not rely on. Brandau

Success literature going back hundreds of years espouses the benefits of hard work. But why is it that some people seem to feel that “hard work” is a dirty word nowadays? I define “hard work” as work that is challenging. Both hard work and “working hard” (i.e. putting in the time required to get the job done) are required for success.
