Many are increasing realizing that the popular assumption that working hard brings riches and prosperity is a mere illusion. Maybe this assumption held water during the medieval period, but in our contemporary world, the idea to work hard or working like a slave in order to make real money has no element of truth in it.
In fact, it is a notion paraded by those (the new rich) who do not practice it to influence the minds of certain individuals to work hard while they would continue to be rich.
Have you ever compared how hard the average person (struggling to make a living person) works compared to those with real money?
If working hard like a slave brings any real riches/money, then I would have been a billionaire by now.
Until I realized that there is not truth in the above, I always had a minimum of 2jobs. During my College education days, I remember having 3 jobs at a point in time. I worked like a slave and was always exhausted. However, those days remain the lowest income period of my working life.
Becoming rich in life is not a short period enterprise. Richness or real money is as a result of a continuous accumulation of money over a long period of time. And since you cannot work hard like a slave for a long period to accumulate real money, it does not work.
How many of us are ready to work 12 hours a day (7 days a week) for 5 continuous years?
If Making Hard Will Not Make Us Rich, What Would Then?
I hope you are not thinking that the opposite of working hard is being lazy or doing nothing. If working hard will not make you rich, it would be absurd to think doing nothing (being lazy) will make you rich.
In this regard, working hard and being lazy are not opposite but rather the same thing being considered from different angles.
Though I am not a millionaire today, my financial status is far better than when I used to work hard like crazy with 3 jobs.
Two years ago, I disposed the working hard to become rich illusion and bought into the concept of working smart. I realized that the people who are rich do not work hard like those who are making minimum wage.
Working smart is about doing things that produce real profits. This is exactly what the rich people do and that is the only proven way you can make real money. The rich people focus on few selected things that make them profits…CONTINUE READING FROM HERE
