    No employer deserves your undying loyalty. My dad was a hard-working, reliable employee who turned down job offers from other companies to be loyal. As soon as the company needed to lay people off to avoid any cuts for the fat cats at the top he was dropped. Most employers don't care about you as a human being, you are just a number. NEVER forget that.

      Companies often foster this warm & fuzzy family attitude to dupe employees into working extra hard (for no extra pay), doing favors, coming in to cover shifts on their days off, etc. THEY treat you like a special snowflake, but it's only to serve their purposes.
      They extract as much as they can, as cheaply as they can. That's fine, that's business, but the fake caring BS is what I find distasteful.

    I was 15 the winter my family moved into this particular house; heating was done with wood stoves. My task was to fill the wood bins so there'd be fuel for the stoves overnight. I was told "go around the house with sticks of wood in your arms to fill the bins". I made ONE trip, only carrying 2 sticks. Then I saw the wheelbarrow, and loaded it up. 2 trips later (instead of all night long) the task was done. I did NOT want to spend all night running around the house in the snow hauling wood, when I could be getting my homework done in that same time period, so looked for a more efficient way to get the same task done.

    I work hard. I build furniture for a living. I'm 48 years old and it keeps me in shape. I look at it like a gym but they pay me. 😁
    With that said, I also live debt free including no mortgage and rental property that's free and clear. I have 401k, profit sharing, medical, dental, vision, life ins, 4 weeks paid vacation plus holidays. Plus a few other Perks.
    I lived off rental income for several years to be a stay at home mom. The easy life gets boring and a sedentary lifestyle is terrible for your health.
    I'm turning my hardwork into dividend paying stocks and crypto.
    If real estate crashes, I'll turn my hardwork into a beach house.
    I still believe in hardwork. I have friends who sit in front of a computer. They feel so entitled that they can't even mow their lawn. They spout out b.s. about how much money they make and can't waste their time lol. They spend that time going to the Dr for high blood pressure pills and cholesterol pills etc

There is a reason I found the Alux channel this year - I am learning a lot! The most important point for me is "Hard work isn't always linked to good planning." I see this ALL the time. So, I am going to stop working hard. From now on, it's all about smart planning and working smart. No more hustle. And I am going to embrace the one-track mind mentality - no more multi-tasking.

    Wow! I had this argument with some friends last night ! In Greece the working hours are between 8-10 hours and the average payment is about 650$ a month. Also the bars and clubs of Greece close at 7 a.m. on the weekends and some the same hour on the weekdays. Due to the health situation now they are forced to close at midnight and I argued that this new order of things may increase the personal productivity of many people because of the fact that the majority now will not be staying up until the morning drinking. Everybody at the table came at me telling me that I’m not considering all the -hard working- people that are gonna loose their jobs etc etc .. what is it with hard working people that the majority so much likes and easily defends and not that much self made and competent people ?!
    Good for them that chose to work hard. I chose to invest in real estate and start my own leather goods company. Why is no one congratulating me, let’s say, but so many people rush to defend and justify the working class !? (Rhetorical question unfortunately)

    Working hard especially in America is a misnomer, the hardest working people some times are the poorest, they eventually experience burn-out some people build up so much stress, to cause a heart Attack. Millions of people are underpaid and overworked. We all have to work, but when you love what you do, it's no longer the grudge of just work. Smarter is always better.

    Show this video in a gym and the only people that will agree you are the ones that get no results. “Working hard” as referenced in this video is really no different than the gym example. There are no consistent shortcuts in life.everyone fails at some point. Learn from your mistakes. Continuously work on building your understanding and realize that working hard is just working.don’t forget that what may seem hard to you may be easy to others and what may be easy for you may seem hard to others.this is why working hard is really a subjective term that you shouldn’t concern yourself with. Its actually just a limit you place on yourself by making work seem difficult. Also, the term can be used to gain recognition as well. Nature still rewards the hardest workers.
    I’m really curious to see what people have to say about this.

    I love Alux but this one pissed me off!!! Sounds like most of the points are from the perspective of a corporate employee. This is exactly the kind of thinking that misleads young people, glorifies soft skills and devalues hard skills. Not everyone has the luxury of time to study life hacks well enough to make them practical in real life ala tim ferris. Working hard is not really dumb, it solidifies your knowledge. A specialized engineer would never be able to implement a project from conception to design to implementation to testing and integration. I on the other hand can take a project from start to finish through the use of multi-skill talent I acquired through efficient hard work. Without relying on life hacks I am able to enjoy hard work in short bursts for a little over 1000 hours per year. The balance of a 2080hr year I get to spend on whatever i want, mainly my family. Work hard on the projects you control there are no shortcuts.!!!!!!
