Why is it that some people seem to feel that “hard work” is for the uneducated/ school drop outs/ people that dont know of anything better.
“hard work” Can be defined as work that is challenging. Both hard work and “working hard” (i.e. putting in the time required to get the job done are required for success.
A problem occurs when people think of challenging work as painful, uncomfortable or where the body rules the mind through a lack of diccipline.
a Major key to success in life, in bussiness, sport and what ever you are good at is to learn to enjoy challenging work AND to enjoy working hard at it.
If you avoid challenging work, you avoid doing what it takes to succeed, to grow and to become successfull or to obtain the term "freedom". To keep your muscles strong or your mind sharp, you need to challenge them. To do only what’s easy will lead to physical and mental lack and very mediocre results, followed by a great deal of time and effort spent justifying why such short comings are OK and blaming it on culture, parents and circumstances instead of stepping up and taking on some real challenges.
Tackling challenges builds character, just as lifting weights builds muscle. To avoid a challenge is to abandon one’s character development.
The harder the work, the sweeter the reward.
All is well.

Nice post. One of my favourite quotes is "A Hard Worker can surpass someone with a natural talent, but a person with a natural talent that works hard at it is unstoppable"
