Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it'll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.
Too many successful people believe their success is the result of "hard work" alone. They do this because they want to take all the credit for their good fortune. In reality, although their hard work played a significant part, it is only one single component in a very complicated tapestry of factors all woven together. The book "Outliers" goes into this. Good read. Also... who tf wants to be famous? Would be a nightmare. There are much better ways to make money.
For example: Take a US Navy Seal who trains most of his life to become the most formidable soldier possible, who once drafted, gets one-tapped by some dude in sandals. Where's the pay-off there?
