We look for it everywhere. Under the stacks of paper, in the corners of the office and everybody thinks that the answer to success is on the other side of the fence, where that grass is supposedly greener. We change jobs, look for promotions, believe we are entitled to more rewards and ultimately wonder why we are not successful.
The all elusive, magic formula for success has been in front of us and will always be there. Work hard and you are 90% of the way there.
That is all there is to it. Work harder than the next guy to you if you are in competition and work hard to support the person next to you if you work in a team. Simple, ancient and true. Making sure this one element is first complete will then only allow you to add working smart with your graft and energy.
There truly isn't any substitute for working hard. Cutting corners in anything means you don't get the full advantage back. You receive out what you put in and if you put only a small amount of effort in you are destined to receive only that back.
Work hard first then look for the magic. It is there but only for those that master the effort needed to see it.
