According to me just hard work is not sufficient to get our path;your confidence, positive attitude,honesty is also important to get a right and successful life.
If you work hard to earn money, you get money. Then, you work harder to make more money. Afterwards, Money makes you feel sick and you search for something better than money in this world, for example, peace, happiness, smile, joy etc.. So start working hard...
Yeah! There is no shortcut to success thats why hard work is required to obtain targets in your life But sometimes! so much work need to be done to earn something
