If you've laboured a lot, you need a new kind of way to take you to where you're going to. Since hard work does not only pay, you need smart work.
Why not try associating with good friends or connected friends that can push you to where you can reach. You need to connect yourself with valuable people that can catapult you to where you're supposed to be.
Life is not fair. Don't expect it to be fair.
But with the right people and the right information and the right updates, you can see where you want to be. Thinking that you can do it alone through your hard work and your strength might not give you the guidance you want.
You only need to work on yourself and connect with the right people that can catapult you. To where you should be. Don't depend on hard work. Depend on connection, network, so that you can include your network.
