Working Hard Does Matter

Steve Waddell • February 16, 2018

Last week I was out at a school and I did my chat about “Persistence Trumps Talent.” Any student who has had to suffer my love of that phase also knows my thought about how “Passion Drives Persistence.” And everybody also knows that Elon Musk is one of my favorite people.

I believe this video speaks to doing what you feel has great value and the benefit to someone else, and the power of just flat out working harder.

Enjoy and Have Fun – Steve
