The elders think that you will succeed as long as you work hard, which is encouraging and comforting you. In fact, hard work may not be successful, but it will not be successful without hard work.

There is no pie in the sky, we must work hard, and at the same time, we must consider our own abilities and things that suit us. What we can achieve through hard work is practical. Efforts are also a long-term process and need to be persisted.

You can set a goal first, pursue this goal, take a step, go further, and slowly succeed.
