The link between Effort and Success is a bit of Faith

I've often wondered about success. How do some people succeed? Why do others fail? I look at the relationship between effort and success. Everyone used to tell me that you have to work hard to succeed. Later they told me to work smart and not work hard. Now everybody says that to be successful, you have to be passionate about what you do. Wait a minutes, isn't that just working hard but loving it?
I look at people who are successful but didn't really do much to get there.I also see honest people working hard and barely making ends meet. Is success not supposed to be fair? I'd like to think that success is not a destination but a state of being. It is different for every people. Being successful it just a measurement but depends on what are you measuring for?
I don't know what it all means.But I do see one thing. To be successful, you need faith. It could be faith in yourself or faith in the people you work with. Faith that nothing will go wrong. Faith that you are doing great things. Faith that your effort will pan out. Faith that success is your right for the taking. Faith that God or something larger than you is playing part in your success.

This could stem from a misunderstanding of the concept that it is not sufficient for good to be done but good must be also seen. And neither the extent of the visibility has a consistent correlation to the value of the good being done. But the confusion has led to desire to inflate the visibility of the do-gooder in tandem with the good, placing as much value in it as the deed itself.  Coupled with the phenomenon of popular being the cause of popularity, visibility takes the front seat in place of the good deed itself, obscuring it in the back seat.

In the absence of work, success is temporary

We are always told that we need to work hard to succeed. However we are less often told about how success itself needs to be maintained. People often think of success as a destination. That success is in of itself a permanent condition. Experience always prove otherwise. More rather than success and failure is more often than not two sides of the same coin. It can also be a cycle of which success follows  failures and failures follow success.
