I question the statement.
The goal should be to work smarter not harder. In todays modern age of computers and internet working hard is an old way of doing things.

Books like to four work day and the four day a week work patrern demonstrates this.

What if working hard simply implied that the person was doing the wrong thing for themselve - wrong time wrong place.

I know plenty of people who are trust funders and they dont work at ll and make lots of money.

I feel we need a reset that focuses on quality of life over working hard.
