Stupid and Diligent is the fast track to upper management.

Worked hard to get into the career I have. I wouldn’t say actually doing is hard work in a traditional sense at least.

This is the honest truth. I’ve told my kids, you have to work your arse off on the front part of your career so you can take it easy on the back part.

Hell no.
And the people who I would consider to be hard workers virtually NEVER talk about the amount of hours or work they put in. They usually just do it as it's a part of their job/life/whatever.
The people who openly label themselves as hard workers, in my experience, just do a bunch of busy work or turn small tasks into monumental projects. Or even worse, they do the same/slightly more work than average, yet bitch constantly about how hard they have it.

I want to instill in my child a strong work ethic but also a strong work/life balance. You need to perform well when you're doing your job, and that will include proper preparation in off hours sometimes and sometimes going above and beyond what is normally asked of you, but you can't let work overtake your personal life.
That's how I handle work. Handle my shite and get work done in a timely manner, but I do that in effort to reclaim time for myself and my personal goals. I get paid for 40 hours but probably only usually work 30. Sometimes, though, I'll need to work 50 or more. Just depends.

I have had four dependents for twenty years that have never wanted for anything. Compared to most people , I think I grind pretty steadily and unselfishly day in and day out. But my Dad was a HOF hard worker-legendary in my eyes-so that has always made me feel lazy by comparison.

When I'm on the clock, I'm taking care of business. I know what I need to do, have a plan to get it done. That's money time.
Off the clock, I'm a lazy SOB.

I have to say my dads work ethic really is reflected in me and my 2 brothers.
I am the middle child and I work my dick off. I’d be in the top 15ish%, probably close to 10% but my younger brother and my older brother are at the very top 2-3%. I work really hard and I’m probably more intelligent than them by a hair but they’ll work circles around me.

i work the least amount possible to accomplish a job or task in a way that meets my standards which i believe are higher than average. So im a task completer. Effort is a silly way to judge that IMO

I think it’s absolutely one of the best qualities one can have. Though not impossible, one would be hard pressed to find someone who is a really hard worker that is just a shite person. Work ethic says a lot about one’s character, actions speak louder than words.

What say you?
The most frightening and liberating thing about parenting is that you really don’t have that much control over traits like this. You can show her the value in it, but ultimately she’ll decide what type of work ethic she adopts.
Just lover her, love her mom (or at least be respectful of her if y’all aren’t together), be there for her and be the type of guy that you’d want her to marry one day. You do that and she’ll be fine.

I would say that I have the ability to be a hard worker.

Eh...I dunno. A large proportion of the 70-80 hour a week types that I’ve known were assholes who were in it for themselves and that was pretty much it. Also, some guys work those hours because they want nothing to do with their wife or kids (I knew a couple of those too).

I grind when I have to. End of year is usually a ball busting time, but I can’t complain most of the time. Over the last 3 years, I’ve learned to just stop doing things that don’t drive profitable revenue. I ignore most internal trainings and managerial requests outside forecasting. I firmly believe most employees of large corporations could accomplish the meat of their job in 15-25 hours per week.

Yes, teach her a great work ethic. It will def pay off.
