The real definition of hard work is... HARD WORK /noun/ willingness to outwork and out learn everyone when it comes to your business, according to Society6. But it means to me put the effort into something even if you do not love it or want to do it. I think if everyone put hard work into everything and did not just half it a lot of things would go a lot smoother and a lot more people would be happy. And attitude has a big part in hard work, because if you have a good mind set going into things you will come out with a happy attitude cause a lot more things will go your way and you will just make a lot of people happy for example if you try your hardest on a test and you get a good grade you will make your parents happy but if you don’t try hard and you get a bad grade you will make your parents upset and disappointed and they will think you didn't try hard. That is the real definition of hard work it is hard to always put your best effort it, but it helps.
