Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it –
Stephen Hawking. Professor Stephen Hawking may not be an expert in character
edification but you never call him a genius for nothing.

Among his publications
of the gravitational singularity theorems and black holes theory, have shed
light on the studies of general relativity and quantum gravity.
Raw talent
and individual brilliance may not be good enough to achieve that cause if
without effort, struggle and endeavor in the process.
It does not
mean we are obliged to certain tasks all the time, but having a sense of
responsibility towards a job simply gives us the gratification.
According
to Hawking, not having purpose and ambition in one’s life is identical to the
dead fish swimming with the stream. In other words, you are not working towards
your goal.
If you ask
for my opinions, a person’s success is not measured merely on his or her
fortunes or achievements, but also on the contributions being dedicated from
day number one. Because, for me, the gains achieved through sweats and
perseverance outweigh the sole numerical values of wealth.
Money is
very important and everybody loves money. We know that money is very hard to
earn. Yet, we often spend more and faster than we can earn. Then it comes to a
point that, if we work hard enough to earn more money, but at the same time,
work hard to spend them, we are left with nothing at the end.
It does not
matter how much we can earn anymore, because the rate of our spending is equal
to or more than the rate we earn on regular basis. By putting everything into
perspective, we let our sources of wealth slip out from our fingers
unnecessarily.
You may
wonder if my points have deviated slightly from the main topic today. In fact,
our lifestyles are much more complicated than the people living in the past. We
are surrounded by a wide array of temptation.
As our
spending power increases, we have less hesitation when spending. Therefore,
proper financial management skills should be well-equipped to resist the lure
of excessive spending habits.
Here is the
three golden rules that guide us to get what we want through hard work:
1) Pursue
your dreams, otherwise you will never taste the rewards forever.
2) Dare to ask for what you want, otherwise the answer
will always be no.
3) You must move forward, otherwise you
will always be in the same place.
When we
were still kids, our parents constantly educated us to study diligently in
order to become successful. But things do not appear as simple as they look; we
gradually realize that successes in life will not come if they are not
accompanied by hard work and perseverance.
Just like
how you dream of becoming a proud owner of a luxury car, you cannot just sit
down and do nothing hoping that the imagination will come true one day.
Every
person has a different viewpoint of life but eventually coalesce into a similar
single objective – to live better. There is no shortcut for it and the solitary
golden rule to achieve that lies on the meaning of few words. Never fear hard
work.
