Understanding the True Nature of Hard Work

Many individuals underestimate the level of effort required to truly excel in their fields, often believing they are working hard when they are not. An anecdote about a legal internship highlights this realization, as the intern learned from a partner that true hard work involved significantly more effort and higher stakes than translating documents. This insight emphasizes that many people have untapped potential, as they have not yet learned what it truly means to work hard. Subsequently, mastering the skill of effort often takes time, and understanding this can lead to greater success in any endeavor.
