What exactly is hard work?

Hard work is not standing on one leg, beating your hands on rock, wandering on the earth, diving in a well, fishing in a desert, mining on the cloud, reasoning to a mad person. It is something striving in the right direction to achieve the goal. Just jumping, leaping, crawling, creeping, running, revert standing doesn't mean hard work. This kind of struggle does not help a person to achieve his goals. This is merely fooling yourself and others. A person should his hands and feet along his head.

Here I want to narrate a short story.

Once a sparrow came to the monkey and said, "You can kill the snake, please help me”. A big snake is going to my nest to swallow my children." Save my children. The monkey said OK. Then monkey climb off his tree and then climbs up the same. He repeated the same again & again. The sparrow provided him the breaking news of every second that the snake has come out of his hole, reached to my tree, nest, entered it…. now it has swallowed my children.

In response, the monkey repeated the same thing over and over again & again. In end the sparrow comes to the monkey and cries, you did not save my children. I informed you since very beginning but you did not help me. The monkey said, "I have tried my level best & worked hard, I am perspired, but couldn’t save your children, what I can do now?"

This is not a try or work hard, such an effort is equivalent to fooling oneself or others. First of all, a man should plan his work and then adopt the best technique to do his work in the best way, to achieve his goal.
