2.3K recommends and counting, one hundred and more “I’ll fuck it too” responses.
This is a gang bang already.

And the reason for this cluster fuck in progress is:

> we forget to fuck _while _working hard.

Here is a different perspective:

 1. Working hard does not mean doing overtime to impress your boss.
 2. Working hard does not result in not getting enough sleep.
 3. Working hard does not require ignoring your health.
 4. Working hard is not the addiction of the fearful insecure.
 5. Working hard is not made of the blunt actions of the ignorant.

> Working hard is when you do hard work.

Burnouts come because you don’t pay attention to yourself. Your disconnect with 
family and friends comes because you are not decisive enough in your actions. You
depend on bad bosses because of your bad financial situation or because society 
doesn’t help you in your domain of work. Working smarter doesn’t make work easier,
it makes output greater.

Hard work is what makes people fight poverty in crappy places of this planet.

Hard work is what puts people in space.

Hard work is what eventually squeezes brains for cures and treatments.

Hard work is what sometimes brings people out of an arthritic social system.

Hard work is what put many children in college.

Hard work is what saves lives everyday.

If you love what you do, you will work hard, because you will inevitably get to 
find that part of what you do which is hard work.

If people depend on what you do, you will work hard, because you must inevitably
take on the hard work to not let them down.

If you depend on what you do, you will work hard, because usually the hard work 
has the big rewards attached to it.

So when you ask: _why my fiend_, remember:

As Mr. Dylan noted, if you really _work hard_ and not just knocking yourself out
of good health, wasting nights and ignoring your loved ones while forgetting to 
live, you will have an answer, your own personal answer.
