One of my friend told me there is no curtail to make success. The only one way is hardworking, What you want to achieve, you have to passionate on it & work hard in a right way you must get the success.
Then i replied to him, if there is any way that i can get maximum out put by give there the minimum input then i will find it and follow the path.
So you need be strategic & industrious then you will get the success by giving minimum input that will make your path easier. Only hardworking can't bring the success. There is an adage " If hardworking can do everything then Donkey would be the king of Jungle"
So Think that, use strategy and work accordingly.
