- Do you believe that if people work hard enough, they will achieve success?
If we define success as being wealthy and rich, then working hard alone will NOT make you successful. If you want to be rich, then you have to work smart, be lucky, and continue being persistent. No matter how hard you work, if you are never at the right place at the right time, you will continue being an average person. You can be a construction worker working hard 60 hours a week but a CEO who plays his cards right and knows the right people will make 10x his salary by working smart. You will see more results lifting weights 3x a week for 45 minutes than doing 2000 pushups for 2 hours seven days a week if you want to be buff.
Nickled and Dimed:
This story was basically about an undercover graduate student pretending to be a Housemade to see what they go through. This further proves my argument why working hard does not equal success. In this situation, Barbara works extremely hard cleaning everyday and so do her co-workers despite having physical disabilities, working long hours, minimum lunch break, and being underpaid. Hypothetically, if they were smart, they would choose another job with a greater risk/reward net gain.
RIP the Middle Class:
McClelland's argument was the reason for the downfall of America's middle class was weak government regulation. Specifically President's such as Obama, Clinton and Jimmy Carter who rarely intervened with corporate affairs.
