“Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.”<\/div>\n

\"lindy_throw\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“There is no substitution for hard work.”<\/p>\n

\"mel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“It’s hard to beat a person that never gives up.”<\/p>\n

\"nicole_mel_throw\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”<\/p>\n

\"olivia_kenzie_kendyl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.”<\/p>\n

\"madison\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.”<\/p>\n

\"cali_hayvn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.”<\/p>\n

\"coaches\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.”<\/p>\n

\"kenzie_grounder\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.”<\/p>\n

\"cami\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“There is simply no substitute for hard work when it comes to achieving success.”<\/p>\n

\"lexie_kendyl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I do not believe in excuses. I believe in hard work as the prime solvent of life’s problems.”<\/p>\n

\"midg_hand\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.”<\/p>\n

\"lindy_kendyl_taylor\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard.”<\/p>\n
