How do you spell 'Success'? H-A-R-D W-O-R-K. This is a natural principle that is yet to be disputed. It works like magic and has worked for several geniuses over the ages. This natural law states that the only way you are going to get anywhere in your ambition is to work hard at it. There is no getting it around it. If you do, you will win: if you will not, you will not win. Thomas Edison, a role model of hard work made the famous statement : "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration". Accordingly, a genius is often merely a talented person who has done all his or her home work.
A brief study of this genius revealed several mind-blowing insights about hard work. I got to know that nothing great is indeed achieved on a silver platter. He inverted the incandescent light, the pornography and many other wonderful inventions. He achieved all this through extremely hard work. He stated: "l never did anything worth doing entirely by accident. Almost none of my intervention was derived in that manner. They were achieved by having trained myself to be analytical and to endure and tolerate and hard work".
As matter of fact he worked for as much as 18 hours in a day. It really took that much from him to be able to be able to make all those wonderful achievements. he stated one more time that most of the exercise he got were from standing and working all day from one laboratory table to another. This was someone who made hard work a hobby. He enjoyed it loved it and did his all. The only way of not seeing hard work as a task is to love it and make it a hobby. For Edison, hard work was a fun. He even said that sometimes when he was down he would resort to solving some of the most challenging problems, work hard at them and when he overcomes it brings him so much joy that it overshadows the initial sadness. Such an attitude towards hard work inevitably creates mighty champions and such champions are usually hard to beat. If you train hard you will not only be hard but you will be hard to beat.
