Do you believe that most people who want to get ahead can make it if they're willing to work hard?

[Cubus]

Yes

No

[DizzyDesii]

Yes. I felt very ahead when i worked hard all throughout school, college, and at my first two jobs. But I’v been slacking since July hit this year... I’m bout to get back on top of my game tho

[Lucy68]

Yes but also no, it technically also depends

[Cubus]

Could you explain it?

[Lucy68]

Some will have to work hard to get ahead, while others will simply get it handed to them.

[Cubus]

This question is not about if it's given. Can you get something if you work hard enough on it?

[Lucy68]

Sometimes

Thanks for the MHO

NOO!!! Intentions matters a lot. Yes there are chances they can go ahead but the intention here is that you are working for being greater than others, not for yourself. I have seen it in real life too and faced it also. Hard work is deeply influenced by intentions.

[Cubus]

isn't strong will an intention?

[Apulu_Imback]

Your question says 'Wants to go ahead'. Agree with it or not, that thing will stay within your deepest intentions. Strong will is just a cover up to show others.

[Cubus]

So you don't believe it?

[Apulu_Imback]

Well I can't really get your point. Do you mean improving on being greater than others? I mean which intention you are trying to say?

[Cubus]

I ask if if you want to achieve something, you can achieve it by working hard enough.

[Apulu_Imback]

Oh yeah then it's true. There is a Hindi quote which says that if you work with your all heart then even the hell and heaven can't stop you from reaching your destination. I thought that working for becoming better than others. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Cubus]

No problem

[TrueConfection]

That's what the American Dream was about, but the socialists are slowly destroying that only to ensure that NO ONE will have a "right" to prosper. Soon we'll look like our friends on the other side of the pond complaining about how unfair life is and waiting for "the government" to provide us with a guaranteed income, house, and food rations.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, but "getting ahead" for someone with an 85 IQ doesn't mean the same thing as getting ahead for someone with a 115 IQ.

[Guy13]

Work smartly and intensively when demanded. Time of Work does not equate to Success.

[Cubus]

I don't talk about time. Just if you put much effort.

[Guy13]

People notice Effort 🤷🏻‍♂️

[BCRanger10]

Yes, at least that is a major component of it.

[Sparkie460]

Yes. Anyone can get ahead if you work for it. Nothing is handed to you, unless you work for your rich family.

Or luck like the lottery or born into a rich fam.

[Nazgol]

Sure can
