Labour for me is human productive effort towards achieving set target.To answer the question, labour may be wealth, in the sense that when others labour while you fold your harms and watch from where will the wealth come from? Wealth creation cannot be separated from human effort both mental and physical.
No, you are wrong! The difference is that good labour may earn you wealth, especially if you know how to manage your life correctly, but labour can not automatically deliver wealth to you. Look around you, is it everyone who is hard-working is wealthy? Do some even earn enough to have anything reasonable to save?
Wealth and financial freedom work hand in hand and it is until you have enough to the point that you are no longer worrying again about the future that you are wealthy. Can all labourers say the same? That shows they are not the same. Also, some people will continue to amass wealth for themselves while you continue to labour for them unsatisfied financially. You can see that the equation is not balanced.
I would assume that even if it requires a lot of people to labour with you, you still have to labour. When people talk about "labour", most think about like factory workers or something, but in reality even Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos provided labour for their company, even if all you do is go out and find some investors, while others work for you, even if you make some network, or find banks, or sign on some new documents, you do not have to just go out to the factor floor and do something, a boss, an owner is still providing some labour for the company, they are not at home sleeping while others are working.
This means that yeah in a way that labour would be required to make money. That doesn't mean that everyone who works end up being rich, as we all can see that workers may stay poor, it just means that people who work may not be rich but people who do not work will definitely stay poor.
This is why if you want to get rich, you have to keep on working for it, and if you do that then you are going to end up with something good. That way, when you see his "if you just watch others work, where will money come" situation makes sense, it's true that if you just watch others and do nothing, you won't get richer.
