Hey Steve.

Thanks for that. There sure is quite a bit like that huh. Catchy article or book titles are what is recommend for writers to engage, but then the same catchy material isn’t always realistic. It is part of that separation between creator and consumer. Your point about us not minding working hard is a cool one that few are glad to point out, while many others are not interested in it, because their interest has not been located.

Thanks for your thoughts.

A refreshing read. With all those articles on easy money, 4 hour work weeks and effortless success it was nice to get your perspective. I think most of us don’t mind working hard and even enjoy it as long as we have a passion for what we do.

Ayo: I like the response you gave there. I am glad it was positive like that.

I hear you about those questions revolving around your working hard. In one short video where Lil’ Wayne talks to Puff Daddy, which I watch every few days, Lil’ Wayne said “When they ask you why you work so hard, you ask them ‘why not?’”. That relates to what you are saying.

Thanks for this message.

Hi armen,
This post made me smile and feel refreshed. I get lost in my thoughts at times asking questions revolving round my working hard. I get criticized once in a while but when i look at the results of hardwork, the benefits of rest and sees likeminded people involved in more challenging activities, I am encouraged to do better(not risking my health though).
Great Post by the way!!!

Hi Jeanette.

I get that tackling task item sometimes too. I get stuck there. Sometimes I ask for help on some place online. Sometimes I give up on the thing and later find out some other way. That’s a tough one when it happens. Rushing through the task sometimes helps me get through the hard part, and sometimes gets me side-tracked.

That point about leisure time is one I wanted to emphasize. Leisure time is when our real goals are put on the back-burner, which doesn’t make much sense, unless the time is for actual resting/recuperation.

Thanks for your information.

My greatest obstacle in getting the hard things done is when unsure exactly how to tackle the task, I get paralyzed. I am very aware of this problem but still fall in the trap, I will try the suggestion of rushing through the task. I like the idea that leisure time is a lack of vision.

Walter: That is a good way to put it. Leisure doesn’t get us growth. That is a nice comment of yours, and I would add that there is competition and difficulty in every realm of activity. I learn from others similarly as you do, from your material and from the actions I see taken by yourself and others. One of my next articles will build upon the points in this article.

Well, any form of leisure will bring us nothing for our growth, and I agree with you on that. We can learn a lot from hard work because we are able to discover our true capabilities. Blogging is a hard work but I’m learning a lot from it and I learn a lot from bloggers like you Armen.

Perry: Thanks for that, and the comment about the site in general.

Tristan: That is true. We first either expect it to just arrive, or expect it to come with ease. I sure wanted to attack the value of some times of leisure time through this article, so the message would be sent to get back to the real material we should be doing. Thanks for your thoughts.

Nice post Armen. People expect a magical way to getting to success. This article reminded me of back-to-basics: hard work and persistence will result in opportunity, success, and more leisure time for breaks.
