The Importance of hard work
What is hard work?
‘Work’ is already hard enough, right? We all know that. Weather you work on a full time job or you study in a school, its boring and its hard. But what is actually the importance of this work? Why do people keep telling us to do hard work in order to achieve something? Does hard work really matters?
Hard work is important. Hard work merely means putting more efforts and dedication in any ‘work’ you do. This is what hard work is. If you have a goal to achieve or a target to reach then you need to put in more efforts and dedication. I won’t lie we all are lazy, that’s the human nature. Like how its being said in the holy books. Satan is always trying to misguide you.
Ok lets forget that part and come to the point. Without hard work i won’t probably be here and writing this. And you are probably reading this because you need guidance. But i am not to guide you, i can only show you the path – you will have to walk on it yourself.
Why work hard when you can work smart?
True, in fact this has been said everywhere. But do you realize that in order to be smart – you need to work hard? Except for the exception of natural smartness, which is very rare.
Every online marketer will tell you that you are able to work smart and avoid the hard work. But the truth is – they are the smart ones and you are being fooled. They worked hard to become smart and reach the position where they are able to use that smartness in order to make money. While you are the desperate one who needs money and they easily fool you into buying their products. That line ‘why work hard when you can work smart’ is for the marketers, it won’t work for you.
The hard truth is you need to work hard to climb the ladders of smartness, there is no shortcut to success.
I can’t find a way to earn online – help me!
That is the same question i use to ask others when i first started out. I was always looking for a ‘get rich quick’ method. A easy way to millions online. I was wrong and it took me very long to realize that.
Right now i am not even earning anything from this blog. But i earn online by doing hard work. My highest income stream is by offering services. I offer writing services to others. Such as article writing, content creation, sales letter writing, pdf creations, email marketing campaigns, etc. I earn anywhere between $300 – $2000 doing this every month.
Now you might be thinking that $2k is nothing, others make a lot more then that. However $2k is a realistic amount you can make online monthly. That too by doing hard work. And now i am expanding myself. Once i am fully established and all my websites and online projects are up and running. I might stop writing for others and just write for myself. I am glad that the money i earn is invested back into my other online endeavors. And am only 18 and still doing my schooling. Imagine where i will be in 10 years time. The hard work i do now will certainly pay back. Not to forget that this is only my passion, i don’t really need money that bad. I am building myself a better future and perhaps help others in my journey as well.
Of course you don’t have to earn the same way i do. But whatever you undertake it will require hard work. I am continuously experimenting with all sorts of possible income streams. Which is why i blog about them. Be it adsense, CPA/CPC, affiliate marketing, blogging, forex, selling own products and ebooks. Or just running your own websites in different niches.
Find your talent. What you are good in. Look for a online relevant way with your talent and go for it. In other words, lets say you are good in poetry. So you can start a website about poems, show your work to the world and in few years you will find yourself very close to your goal. But they key is ‘hard work’. Don’t indulge in activities which you have no knowledge about, you will only waste your time. But of course no harm in experimenting. Real life plays a big part in online success. Your real talent is what counts, because people use the Internet to find information on everything and anything, so whatever it is you will find others. Then you will just need to monetize your talent, look for ways to earn and you will start earning. But once again this all requires hard work.
The more harder you work the more smarter you get and less harder you work in the future. Because you will always find alternatives and discover easier ways to do that work.
Investment is unavoidable
Every online business needs a initial investment. For websites you need hosting and domain. For affiliate marketing you need a list and advertising. For forex you need lots of investment to do.
Everything on the Internet requires investment. This is why you need to experiment and work hard. For me hard work has given a level of satisfaction. Because i never wanted to spend my or my parents money online. It is a self challenge. I wanted to establish myself with my own ‘online’ earnings. The money i make online i just re-invest them back. This is how i pay for this website and everything else that i am a part off.
And yes of course i will tell you frankly that 80% of my earning goes to online gaming. After all am a mmorpg addict. I play online games for fun and i love the feeling because what ever i do in those game i have payed with my hard earned money.
It might be a good idea to reinvest your income back to expand further. This is what i am doing and will keep doing till i reach a stage where the income is far too much to keep investing back.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Remember that slow and steady wins the race. There is no method on the Internet that can give you overnight success or a million dollars. If there is any then it will require lots of investment and there will be lots of catches.
Which brings me to the next important point of hard work. You see hard work won’t give you results until there is a purpose. You work on your daily jobs because you have a purpose to earn. You go to school because you have a purpose to fulfil dreams and get qualified. The point is no matter how much hard work you put in, but the purpose should be strong. I can give a guitar to my brother and ask him to practise on it for hours. However it won’t work, his hard work will be useless because he is not interested in playing a guitar. If instead i gave him a piano and he is very egar to learn it. Then at the end of the day his hard work will pay. Because he had a purpose!
But all this takes time, time – hard work – purpose. These all are co-related. Without anyone of them you won’t achieve anything. You need to put in the required time to learn those new things and explore all possibilities. Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t over do yourself or push too far in any activity you take. Relax both physically and mentally and think with a calm mind. Then you will find the solutions to your problems quite easily.
What is the lesson to learn? – ‘Hard work never killed anyone’
Hard work matters. You need to realize its importance if you want to succeed. Be it online or in the real world. If it weren’t for the people who worked hard to invent the computer – you won’t be here.
If you want to gain something you need to work hard for it. Laziness won’t get you anywhere. I hope this article is motivating enough to get you into doing something productive. If you have reached till here then i think you already know the value of hard work.
So in the end. Hard work hasn’t killed anyone – why worry about it? Good luck in anything you undertake.
Just trust me on one thing. The result you get after putting in hard work and dedication is very fruitful. And the feeling of satisfaction which you get afterward is worth the hard work you put in.
Till then have a great day,
SJ
