    That is all fine and true, but I’ve known people who are struggling like hell to just stay afloat. I would say there may be a correlation between working hard and success, but I don’t think it’s the cause.

    On the other side, it also brings a negative view to people who aren’t successful as being lazy, when they could be working just as hard or harder.

    It would be great if the only thing between someone and a better future was more effort, truly rewarding based on merit, but I just don’t think that is the case.
