In order to meet up your daily needs and wants and to become independent and successful in life you have to work very hard, tirelessly and with continuous effort.
Working hard doesn't necessarily mean manual labour or physical labours that requires muscle, when someone is said to be hardworking, you must be committed to what you do and always aim to achieve high.
Most successful entrepreneurs, business men and investors that are doing well financially in our society started from scratch like every other people, but what makes them unique and successful today is their commitment and the way they work hard to achieve their goals, these people do not just get up doing nothing and at the end of the day become successful, but their hard work and continues efforts makes them to become who they are today.
Being a hardworking person, you must work on yourself, understand your unique abilities and experience, then work towards your line of ideas and skills you have to make sure that your develope them to make good use of them in the society. I have seen many businesses today that collapse as a result of low effort and not understanding where their inventions and ideas are going to be used, these people that their businesses collapse might be hard working at times, but they where lacking behind in sole aspects.
So one of the major key to becoming successful even if you're hardworking is to double your hustle and be committed with what you do.
