Nothing Works Like Hard Work: The Secrets Of A CEO ANYONE Can Replicate
Today I had a conversation with my uncle on the way home from work.
He told me,
“Son, Nothing Works Like Hard Work,
I don’t believe in magic or, luck.
There is one rule that will never fail you,
Nothing Works Like Hard Work.”
It’s not as if this advice was particularly nuanced or ground-breaking, but it’s a fact nonetheless.
One that we often overlook.
However, my uncle is the living, breathing, and walking epitome of that idiom.
He is the proof that Nothing Works Like Hard Work.
My Uncle wasn’t someone blessed with connections or fancy education whilst growing up.
He went to the worst of the worst.
In Zimbabwe, schools are graded from A-Z in terms of their status and capability.
And he joked that,
“his school was whatever was below Z.”
Yet, he got accepted and graduated from Harvard Business school from such humble beginnings.
It was nothing but the fruit of hard work.
