If you work hard, will you be rewarded? That’s not it. You keep working hard until you’re rewarded.Lionel Messi
Messi’s famous quote: If you work hard, will you be rewarded? That’s not it—you keep working hard until you’re rewarded. #QuoteSeries #Quotes #WordsOfGreatPeople
Lionel Messi, an athlete often called the greatest soccer player of all time, is a name even non-soccer fans have likely heard.
His famous quote, “Do you think hard work pays off? That’s not it.
You keep working until it pays off,” surely stems from his own experience.
Especially in competitive arenas, if simply putting in effort were enough to win, there would be no winners or losers.
It’s those who can keep striving until they can win, until they succeed, until their efforts are rewarded, who attain glory—an incredibly persuasive message that carries weight precisely because it comes from Lionel Messi, who competes on the world stage.

Yuzuru Hanyu quote: “Effort can lie, but it will never be in vain.”
Yuzuru Hanyu is a professional figure skater who has won multiple titles at the Olympics and World Championships, and received the People’s Honor Award in 2018.
His famous quote, “Effort can lie, but it is never wasted,” conveys a sense of realism beyond mere idealism or pretty words.
No matter how hard you work, results aren’t guaranteed.
Even so, the effort you put in becomes part of you, and if the results don’t come, it can be a chance to reconsider the direction of your efforts.
It’s a quote that captures a truth only someone like Yuzuru Hanyu, who has stood on the biggest stages, could express.

His famous saying, “No matter how many times you fail, as long as you don’t lose the courage to try ‘one more time,’ you will surely amount to something,” teaches us the importance of not giving up.
When faced with failure or hardship, ending your efforts there truly means losing everything.
As long as you have the resolve to keep trying, you may take time, but you will eventually succeed.
