Am a graduate engineer, precisely electrical electronic, for the past few years in the field i have been engage with electrical construction and installations of different capacity on contract bases, i also do engage in computer hardware maintenance in a way to get busy and financially independent. Having been out of college and not being able to secure a good job, i have been engaging this for a while now.
you can see how tedious the work is but then the take home is not commensurate with the work done, so i end up working as an elephant but eat like an ant.
I had to encourage my self because we were thought in school that hard work is key to success

Over the years in the field i have been awarded some little contract which will probably last for about two to five weeks at about a $200 to be paid, yea i mean it, the stressful nature of the work alone is very discouraging, but that was how we were thought in school

Reflecting on my physic definition of work
In physics
work is defined as a force causing the movement—or displacement—of an object. In the case of a constant force, work is the scalar product of the force acting on an object and the displacement caused by that force. Though both force and displacement are vector quantities, work has no direction due to the nature of a scalar product (or dot product) in vector mathematics. This definition is consistent with the proper definition because a constant force integrates to merely the product of the force and distance.
With this understanding i spent so much time taking risk that i should have avoided, but because if i stay back at home, my bills will not be attended to and as a young man like i am, money is needed around.
Take a look at this risky posture, this is what happens often, we engage at all time when necessary not minding what will happen to the me if I eventually fall to the ground.
When the pandemic showed up, it was a serious matter, matter in the sense that, it was able to occupy space, as we were trying to figure out what to do, the lockdown stuff tied us to the confines of our room, there and then i understood that one could be hardworking and successful without engaging hard labors.
Thank God for a good friend with a good heart 
my second leyer earning
few days latter l began to see that in my very little effort on the blockchain, i was making some tokens that is able to take care of some expenses and of cause have been improving over time. in the last 30 days, like a joke with a less stress $21 (USD) has drop in my second layer earning
Now i see and understand the true meaning of work
thanks to 
above is the graph chat showing my rewards on hive in the last 30 days. putting together the earnings of the both layers in 30days, we have about $44
