"Why do people downplay hard work?All i see is worship of genetics and of luck. I used to know people from school who'd lift in private and then when they got some size pretend they never touched a weight "oh yeah man nah i dont lift weights i'm just like this ayy" so that other people could say **** like "**** yeah man look at (insert name here) he's got the maddest genetics man i wish i had his genetics some people have all the luck"Same with money. People pretend there is some shady reason they have some money "oh yeah dont worry bout where i get my money from " "yeah i got my own thing going on the side" BRB slaving ass off in some restaurant kitchen somewhere for 70 hours then blowing it all on one night out and pretending thats what they do every night and they get their money with minimal effort.. why?Why not just admit you work your ****ing ass off every single night and thats why you have what you have? Do people hide the fact they achieved results through hard work because they hope that other people won't do the same? Because they wanna be exclusive? idk **** ittl;dr hard work is the greatest factor in the quality of life you lead, stop pretending otherwise "6. It really IS about WHO you know above all else4. Balls, hard work, confidence, vision.. none of these things lead to success without a ****storm of luck. For every highly successful music artist, there are 1000 more talented, harder working individuals who will simply never make it big__________________________________________________ _________________________I dont understand how you can argue for both that quote and 5/6. can you clarify?
