Hard work: So, you grab your phone and you google: how to become rich? or how to succeed in your life. And most probably, you're gonna witness one phrase, and that is "keep working hard". You then head to Youtube and start looking out for videos such as: how to become successful? or how did Bill Gates become a billionaire? and you continue looking out for videos such as these and once again you come up with one small sentence: Keep working hard. And you're like Woah! I've learned the secret of becoming the next Elon Musk.
