Work Hard.

I have just finished reading the excellent book, ‘If I could Tell You Just One Thing’ by Richard Reed, which asks successful/interesting/powerful/awesome people for the one piece of advice they would give to others.

What struck me, as I read page after page, was how all of these people regarded working hard as a given for achieving success - sure, there was LOTS of other wisdom contained within, but there was also the unshakeable belief in the importance of hard work, practice and honing your craft, and of the need to stay focused on your ultimate goal, even in the face of overwhelming challenges.

I found it both comforting and inspiring….
