“Hard Work Pays Off”
If you consider yourself a hard worker, you've probably had a lot of people tell you you're going to be a great success. To be honest, you should also listen to those who will tell you hard work doesn't guarantee success, but lack of hard work certainly guarantees failure.
Whether you're just starting off in your career, or considering making significant changes, remember always to combine hard work with smart work. Get close to people who can add value to your skills and other resources. Never waste mistakes but use them to get better.
