The Reward For Hard Work is More Work

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. - Luke 16:10

One would have logically thought that hard work should be rewarded long rest and probably goodies to make the rest more pleasant, but it is however not exactly so. One might be privileged to enjoy a vacation period after a session of continuous labour. This is however short and you have to resume, most times to higher responsibilities.

Hard work speaks much about your level of responsibility and your attitude to work. When a man is observed to be hard working, he becomes a useful resource for the organization or venture he works with, and is given even higher responsibilities because there is a brighter chance of him delivering on that higher assignment than for someone who is not so committed to work.

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. - Proverbs 22:29

Standing before kings is a call to higher responsibilities, not a call to wine and dine with the kings and noble men alone.

Consider an entrepreneur who delivers on his jobs right on time and according to specification. Such a person will get more recommendations (more work), and of course he will become more relevant in his sphere of influence.

The reward for hardwork is more work, more responsibilities, greater capacity, more influence, and of course, more money. Be diligent in business and grow all round.
