If you want to see the sunrise, then you should be in the east direction, facing yourself in the west direction, and expecting to see the sunrise doesn’t make any sense.
This is the case with many. Working hard in the wrong direction will cost you a lot. So, finding the right direction is important, and then moving hard in that direction will get the right results.
Finding the direction is not easy, sometimes it can be so unique, that it takes years or sometimes decades to find in which direction you should move. Some are lucky enough to find the direction quickly, some work hard first to find the direction and later put effort in the direction they found. You decide which direction you must take!
