WHY DOES GOD NOT REWARD MANY HARDWORKING PEOPLE?
Nice article by Dr Lokesh N Rai
It was a pleasant Sunday evening and I was walking in a park with my wife. After having some thoughtful discussions as usual, she asked me an interesting question: “ There are many people who spend their entire life working very hard, but fail to achieve success. Why it is so? Why God does not help them to succeed?”
I knew that answering this question requires a lot of critical thinking. First of all, was it really true? Yes, it appeared to be true because several real-life cases of hardworking failures popped up in my mind.
Really friends, you can also think of several people who have been working hard with great discipline, but unable to attain success.
- You can think of young people putting extensive efforts in their job. But they do not grow in the Organization, due to negative environment, fear of losing job and not being able to fulfill the unlawful expectations of the boss etc. Ultimately, they surrender to the situation and fail to succeed.
- On the other hand, you can also find young business entrepreneurs who often start with great enthusiasm but the competitive business environment does not allow them to play their game for longer. They keep struggling throughout their life without getting success.
- You may also know many senior people who have worked hard for the entire life, but had to settle for an ordinary life after retirement.
Why? After all, why God does not reward all those who work hard?
WHY HARD WORK IS NOT ENOUGH?
In general, failures are considered as stepping stones for success. Quite often, people become successful only after experiencing few failures.
But here, we are talking about those who do not get success in spite of their hard work. This is due to the fact that merely working hard can never guarantee success.
One can observe that laborers are the hardest working people. And still, they are probably the lowest paid class. Remember friends, hard work is only one of the ingredients required for success.
If a person works really hard but misses out on one of the important ingredients, he will be a failure.
When a person starts his career, he thinks that by working hard he can achieve success. If he is intelligent enough, he will learn soon that along with hard work, few more characteristics will have to be developed for success.
But there are few who consider hard work as the only characteristic for success. Despite of failures, they don’t learn and do not change.
Ultimately, they keep on making tiring efforts in a hope that one day their hard work will pay off. But this never happens because hard work is only one of the ingredients for the recipe of success.
