Succeeding without working is an unrealistic and misleading notion. True success requires a process of smart, dedicated work, not shortcuts or quick fixes.
Аннотация
The content challenges the idea of "succeeding without working," which the author deems as a fallacy. It begins by highlighting a bold expression seen in the TV show "Selling Beverly Hills" that states "the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary."
The author then explains that in reality, as humans, we cannot cheat time or nature. Even "get rich fast" schemes involve some form of work. Succeeding before working can only occur in dreams or imaginary thoughts, not in the real world. The author emphasizes that the true path to success is through a process of smart, dedicated work, not through shortcuts or quick fixes.
To support this perspective, the author cites the example of Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, the former chairman of First Bank of Nigeria, who highlighted in her interviews how she put in years of hard work before eventually achieving a breakthrough in her business. The author concludes by encouraging the reader to start working now, as there is no fast or easy way to succeed without putting in the effort.
