The article makes an extraordinarily valuable point: It's never going to be only about hard work. But as an outside observer I also look at what she's done and think "This is such a good example of perseverance and grit." As Seneca supposedly said, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity". Sometimes opportunity is shy and you have to look a lot longer than you'd prefer. But I fully believe that if someone keeps at it, they can find their luck. |

The hard work idea is another manifestation of the Labor Theory of Value. Working hard at the wrong thing will get one absolutely nowhere. It's really about working smart, not necessarily hard.
