We all know there is no free lunch or easy way to succeed. We have to work hard to achieve what we want. This is especially true when we are young. The more hard work we do, the better foundation we lay for our future. It's not just about saving money for the future but also about gaining skills and knowledge, connecting with people, and learning from our mistakes. The more we struggle when we are young, the more we will grow and mature. This helps us to prepare for the tough times in life.
We often say that we work hard for others to see our achievements, but we should work hard for ourselves. Like ducks, we should do the hard work for ourselves, and for others, we should appear calm and relaxed. By doing this, we hide our efforts from others and avoid jealousy or being seen as a threat. This way, we can work hard, like the duck paddling under the water's surface.
