Do you believe hard work is all you need if you're a non disabled person?

My dad knows a guy who got an MBA in his 50s and later managed a hedge fund with 200 managers working under him in China. The guy in his 60s or 70s decides to climb the Grand Canyon with his wife, they started from the bottom and spent 8-14 hours mountain climbing up hill in one day. I'm not even sure I can do more than 2 hours uphill and I'm in my 30s. I think that crazy work ethic is how he managed to earn so much money, my dad says the guy has a genius IQ but this guy isn't just smart, he also works very very hard.

yes

maybe

no

Hard work may get you to a decent level and is great, but so is working smart.

I don't think either of them guarantee success however, especially if you're competing against others e. g. pro athletes.

Not really. If everyone was rich no one would be rich. We'd all be middle class.

Thanks for MHO!

Hardwork is actually what you need to succeed and also you need prayers.

[Cecinene]

Thanks a lot for the MHO

I believe hard work will get you quite far, but to reach the top (like your father’s acquaintance) pretty much all stars have to align themselves in your favor). Some elements you can influence, others not.

Working hard will take far, but you should also work smart.
