I grew up hearing over and over, to the point of tedium, that "hard work" was the secret of success: "work hard and you'll get ahead" or "it's hard work that got us where we are." no one ever said that you could work hard - harder even than you ever thought possible - and still find yourself sinking ever deeper into poverty and debt.
