There is a strange idea in our culture that says, "If you work really hard, you'll be okay." What a pile of baloney ! And what's so tragic about it is that most people have been brainwashed to believe it, and they do believe it. Even though we are surrounded by tons of evidence to the contrary.
What evidence ???? Just look around you. Do you know anyone who has worked really hard his entire life, only to end up living a life that hovers just above---- or just below--- the indignity and heartbreak called "subsistence level?"
Of course you do, even we all do . The world is full of people who work hard and are most definitely not okay. And perhaps the worst part about it is that many of these unfortunates come to the conclusion that it was their fault, their personal failing. They did all the right things. But it still did not work. Maybe they just did not try hard enough, or did not get the lucky breaks. maybe they were just not cut out of success.
What type of rubbish is this ? The problem is that the hard-work myth is just that : a myth.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not saying that building wealth and financial freedom does not take hard work ; it does, and lots of it. I hope you are not naive enough to believe the idiots who tell you that they can show a way to wealth that's easy, that's quick or that painless. Because if you are, i know a bridge you can buy real cheap- and the entire system of subprime mortgages and credit-default swaps that might be just right for you.
No, it takes hard work, all right. The question is, hard work doing what?
I can hear you. "Doing what?" Making money, of course" But not so fast, because here is the cold, hard truth lurking behinnd the sad error of our culture's thinking.
Now i say join steemit, work less , publish your creativity, and spend few hours daily in steemit and enjoy the life beating the so called hard work.
