As a child, textbooks and teachers have taught us that hard work begets good luck. That is, no one comes into the world with luck, everyone has to make their own luck. The more hardworking and the more serious he is towards his work, the more likely he is to succeed. But there are some people around who look at them and think this saying is not true. Around me, I see many such daily wage laborers, rickshaw pullers or agricultural laborers, who remain at the same position from which they started their life even at the end of their age. It's not like they don't work hard.
A day laborer works for around 12 hours non-stop and in return they get a small amount of money which they spend in various ways. Here my question is why they are not able to change their fate after working so hard. In this case you may tell me that he is a daily wage laborer or he is a rickshaw driver that is why he is not progressing but he is focused on his workplace and he is working there with full focus so why is he not changing his fate. If a rickshaw driver or a day laborer wants to but cannot become a doctor or an engineer, he has to focus on his profession. What do you say about his change of fate?
In my opinion, hard work doesn't always equate to success, especially if it's misdirected. For example, working longer hours doesn't necessarily mean higher pay. We can understand this through the 80/20 rule, where 80% of results come from 20% of causes. It all depends on the impact on the business.
Why do some laborers work 12 hours non-stop yet earn very little? It's because their work primarily relies on physical effort, with a stagnant impact on the company. Even with years of experience, the main result might simply be increased speed, which doesn't significantly affect the company's bigger picture.
On the other hand, positions like sales often have higher earning potential due to their direct impact on company profits. Some salespeople work less than laborers but earn substantially more.
So, how can one change this situation? First, use experience to strategize ways to make work more efficient. For instance, finding ways for one person to do the work of 12, or optimizing product layouts to eliminate unnecessary steps. Alternatively, invest in learning new, in-demand skills to potentially transition into a higher-paying job.
