I agree to an extant.
In my mind, mental/physical laziness will kill my soul and hard work will build my character. Ups and downs are for me to understand and see its wisdom. I will get mine when God gives me.
There is luck in life, but it's not what we think luck is.
Sometimes a bad thing is luck to steer you to a better path for you.
Kinda like why broke nerds get pushed out for trying to hustle on the streets. It's a lesson of You have to get in where you fit in.
I also believe a man should always be busy working on a plan.
If a man is unemployed, look for jobs and in the meantime, go research and learn on how to make money online, how to improve his situation in life. Use the bad experiences as fuel to keep pushing forward. Make a plan so that when you do get some money, you get busy and pay the cost to be boss.
Long story short, just hard working is not enough, you have to have a plan and a strong mindset to handle challenges. It's a lonely road for a man to go somewhere.
Only spend time with friends that are on the same mission as you. The rest of the time is for you to spend wisely whether is to seek knowledge for whatever his interests are.
As we get older, we need to be more shrewd with our time and resources, adduunkaan dheeldheel ma ahan
