It's true that hardwork pays, even though things might not be rossy today, things might look difficult and seems there's no way. But with consistency and hardwork one would eventually laugh last.
This will make me to share the story of a friend of mine back then in University days, Samuel by name, who happens to come from a very humble background. Things were very hard for him and his family, even though he was the brilliant type but his parents couldn't afford to pay his school fees because he was from a family of six children and he's also the first born of the family. It got to a point that he almost drop out of school due to school fees issue.
But then we his friends put our heads together and advised him to look for a hand work that he loves so be can start learning, he chose photography and then we gather money and afterwards have him registered.
Things were not rossy at all as he had to struggle to balance the equation between school and his skill acquisition programme. He was a strong man anyway he manage to balance the two. He would save the little money his boss gave him whenever they go to shoot in weddings, shows, birthday etc. He use his savings to pay his school fees though the money is not usually enough we would also gather some money to balance the payment.
After two years he was through learning the work.

He became the boss of his own though there was not enough money to open his own studio but he managed to get a camera and some little gadgets.
In no time he became very popular inside the school and even in town. People started calling him for birthday shoot, weddings, ceremonies etc.
Fortunately he was called for a birthday ceremony but this time it was one of the big men in town luckily for him the man loved the pictures he took him. And asked him where his studio was and he replied that he's still managing with someone, to cut the long story short the rich man open a studio for a him and also bought him all the gadgets he needs.
Now fast forward to 2022, Samuel is doing very fine, he has a house, a car and also happily married. He has also helped his family out of poverty.
Consistency and hardwork pays.
