"Prize" and "price" are two mutually inclusive and related entities. For the occurrence of the former, the later must be in place. Success does not just stumble on people and vice verse, there is always a story behind it which entails work, sacrifices, determination, commitment, diligence and most importantly, rising up each time you got beaten down. https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/samminator/HJcis3Cu-1598291846685.jpg _{Image from [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/motorcycle-speed-helmet-1690452)} The road to success is usually filled with contours and undulatings but whatever happens, do no take yourself off the track. Having your eyes on the track will make you to press towards finishing strong. If success answers to wishes, everyone will be successful but more than just wishes, you have to take the responsibilities to work it out yourself. It is the responsibilities that you dodge that breaks your pathways to success. The bigger the dreams you have, the more the responsibilities you have to take and the bigger the price you need to pay. If it does not get to a point that your dreams start to scare you, then it might be that the dream is not big enough. However, no matter the bigness of the dream, there is no way it will fulfil itself without you putting in work into it. It is also worthy to note that the work you put in is not as important as how your put in the work. This is the reason just hard work may neither get the work done nor deliver the right result but smart work is necessary. The hardness of the work is not what guarantees success but the smartness. If the only thing needed to have a major success in your life is hard work, then the people that do physically strenuous works like bending iron rods and laying bricks will be among the very wealthy people. This is where you have to draw out plans to go about your dreams and not just expending energy in futility. There is a very popular saying around where I grew up and it says: > Work smart, work best Working smart entails constantly keeping your eyes focused on the "brace-line" while putting your mental acumen to work and not just your physical energy. No doubt, physical work is very good but it should be complemented with mental acumen for it to deliver maximally. After all, it is the people with potent ideas that rule the world. https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/samminator/jTZ7TFlq-1598292333327.jpg _{Image from [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/photos/creative-be-creative-write-bulb-725811)} Anyone that tells you that success has a particular button to press and it will come automatically is not being truthful to you. Waiting for the journey to success to be very smooth will make you to wait forever in futility. Just take the required steps and give it all it takes. ***Thanks for reading***

Peace on y'all
