If hard work cannot "change your destiny", will you still work hard?

The requirements not only make me think deeply, is appearance so important now? With a good face, the salary of a college student from a key university who has studied hard for more than ten years can be higher than that of a college student, which makes people sigh.

When I was young, perhaps many people, especially those who came from small villages like me, must have believed that as long as they worked hard enough, they could become "superiors". However, as you grow up, you gradually accept this reality - "Life is determined by God, and everything is not determined by man."

You will find that no matter how hard you work hard, you will not be able to achieve anything. Far less than what is “given” to you innately by God. When you are lucky enough to be born into a family at the top of the pyramid, you only need to complete the things arranged by your family step by step throughout your life, and you will still be able to remain at the top and be admired by others; no matter how merciful God gives you a delicate face, you will not Being able to work smoothly makes people around you envious.

So is there any use in trying hard? This has become a big question for the "aspiring young people" at the bottom.

According to a survey in the United States in the last century, most of the children of the top people will eventually become the top people, and the vast majority of the children of the bottom people will eventually become the bottom people. The flow path to the top is almost non-existent.

According to this survey, this question seems to be answered. No matter how hard you try, the chance of "changing your life against the odds" is close to 0.

So what is the meaning of your efforts?

Try your best so that you will not regret it in the future. In daily life, a sentence we often hear is "If I had only known that I had worked hard, I would be doing what I want now."

Although the reality is very cruel and you may not succeed no matter how hard you try, at least you will no longer make the above complaints. You won't have so many regrets when you look back on the past when you are an old man.

I really like the sentence "I try my best to live an ordinary life." We work so hard so that we can finish this life calmly.

Although hard work cannot help you "change your destiny", it can bring you luck. It is said that "children who work hard will never have bad luck." The luck brought by hard work allows you to grasp opportunities when you encounter them. The so-called opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and the process of preparation is a process of one's efforts.

If you were not born with a golden key in your mouth and are unwilling to work hard. The fate can be imagined, it will definitely be "lost to everyone".

Fate is innate, and luck is a person’s life journey; fate is determined by fate, but luck is under your control. As long as we control our own destiny, it is up to us to decide how we want to go in life.

When I was in junior high school, I heard a chemistry teacher say: "I came to the town from a small village through my own efforts. My child's starting point is the town. Where he can go in the future depends on him." "It's a blessing."

Although it is difficult to reach the top of the pyramid with hard work, you are still moving upwards compared to your previous self. By climbing up step by step, you can get to that point. If the descendants can live up to their expectations, it is possible to reach the middle and upper levels of the biological chain.

If you completely give up and lose the opportunity for promotion, and your social status is very likely to decrease, after all, someone is climbing up.

Maybe hard work is useless, but you can’t help but work hard. Effort is your last possibility, and you will be happy every inch you gain.
