Somehow working hard came to mean only working hard at your current job, and not working hard at advancing your career. You can dig ditches for 14 hours a day all you want, but if you never try for a supervisor position or start your own ditch digging company, you'll still just be a ditch digger, and there's a necessary earnings cap on positions like that. But the hard worker who tries to be more *can* advance and gain recognition from their hard work.
