Oversimplified, privileged, insensitive opinion. Up vote well deserved
And I’m guessing that, if you have this opinion, you were born overweight, poor, with learning disabilities, and relationship issues and you overcame all of them and are now a fit, rich, educated, married man?
If so, congrats. If not, then you would have no idea.
Blind = just look harder
Weight is a good one. Though I’m not sure diet is “working harder”.
College, yes. Probably.
Depressed? This isn’t about working harder at all. This is about knowing the steps, understanding what is wrong with you, getting the right advice etc. It’s working smarter, not harder.
>Low income = work harder at your job and your career
You can be working in a low wage job. Working harder these days simply isn’t enough. People make the mistake of thinking the next rung up the ladder is acheiveable simply by hard work. But it’s not more of the same work, it’s new work with different tasks, new responsibilities. You need to show your employer that you have the capacity for these new skills.
For example, you work in a warehouse and your job is to take boxes that are delivered and stack them on the right shelves. There’s 2 people. Bill and Ben.
When looking for promotion, Ben will get picked over Bill most of the time.
Work smarter, not harder! (though don’t be lazy, but Ben isn’t lazy as he’s still a good worker).
Working harder might be overttime, which might be OK. But it’s not a real solution here.
>Relationship difficulty = spend more time with your partner and put the effort in
Well, harder? At what. You need to look at, understand the problems and know what will resolve the issue. These might be simple and easier and trucking on ahead working harder at the same old issues might not just be good for the relationship but worse. More work smarter not harder.
A lot of the time, working harder cann not be of much help or even be worse. Working smarter is what will help more of the time.
The first step to solving a problem is understanding it. If you don’t really understand the problem (which you don’t if your “solution” is a one-liner like these), hard work will get you nowhere.
Feels more like a bait rather than an opinion, but if it were one – definitely belongs here
Not really.
Often times, that’s not how the world works, be a child labourer in asia slaving out in a sweatshop and see if any of this works
I agree with losing weight. Just eat an actual diet, and no, fries and ice cream are not food. Move more, eat less.
Everything else has too many external variables. Studying maybe.
Work harder at your dead end job that allows you two hours of free time and then use that small timing to get jacked so you can cure your depression going out once a month.
Sure buddy
The abelism and lack of knowledge on how the brain and body work is strong with this one.
Maybe just stick to video games and wrestling big guy
Ah yes, the old “if you’re depressed, just be happy” advice. 🙄
My current issues would actually be resolved by me working less.
This is just flat out wrong. It ignores all the mental health issues that a lot of people face. The problem isn’t that they need to work more, it’s why they aren’t working more.
Go watch Healthgamergg on YouTube. You need some education
Maybe you should get involved with real life a little harder….
Brother, that is not how depression works.
