We have been relentlessly told that hard work is the magic stroke to success and a brighter future.

This mentality is hammered into our heads from childhood to adulthood. And we helplessly buy it with every coin we have in the pocket not knowing that it is never a good  advice.

You can work hard the rest of your years and still end up a very poor man like no other. Nature is something else not what you will want or what you do ends up making you a success story. You may do two three things correctly and only the fourth one lets you down. Yes.

Ask yourself why someone you perceived as a lazy colleague in your class, family or society, ended up a successful man or woman? It is the strategy. Successful people do things easily. They use brains. Some know how and when to strike. They position themselves well and do the correct timing of opportunities.

My life studying how this group works left me with surprising findings

I started to notice patterns. These successful individuals weren’t just grinding away at their desks all day long — they are networking, building relationships, pitching ideas, and stepping out of their comfort zones. They are strategic in their every approach, identifying and utilizing their strengths while delegating tasks that others could do better. And compounded with luck, they have made it.

So, therefore, do not waste your energy working hard only. So many other things also do matter. Your ability to think critically, observe situations and apply creativity also matters.
