When I was in school I used to dream about working for myself. Be my own boss, make my own rules and slowly build a name for myself. It looks like the perfect job for me and it looked way easier than 9-5 jobs. Even though I had no clue what I will be doing just yet, it looked perfect to me. Upon graduation, I didn't even bother myself to look for a job. I ventured into developing my skills and starting my business. At that times, I started getting lots of orders for my bag business and it turned out to be harder than 9-5 jobs. I work all day and even all night. I barely sleep nor rest. It was at that point I realized No job is easy.
Yes it is true that some might look easier than some and some might even be infact easier than the others. But each has its own demands and speciality. Those sitting under the AC for hours have a lot of thinkings to do. Plans amd ideas to bring to life. A doctor friend of mine was always talking about him reading and so I got curious and asked him if he was preparing for an exam. He told me No but they have to constantly keep studying and reading to update themselves and never forget some things. Their job looks fancy and all from afar but it's very tasking. I can't imagine reading and studying my whole life.
Take hive for an example, whenever I explained to some of my friends how hive works they always think it's easy. They thought I'm at home just making some cool cash. Eventually, I ended up onboarding like three of them and none of them is still posting till now. Even hive isn't that easy. You sit, create content, put them together and post. Then you repeat the same process almost everyday while learning and interacting with people. It requires work.
My whole point is, we shouldn't be discouraged. If that particular job looks so hard, just keep at it. Unless if you think it's not the best career path for you truthfully, then you can change. But changing a career path just because it looks hard isn't the best solution. That new one you're thinking of starting and looks easier in your eyes might turn out to be harder. Therefore, keep working hard, keep being consistent and never stop believing. Success will come your way sooner than you expected.

Very wise words you've shared here - the grass may seem greener on the other side, but it's probably not. To summarize what you've explained - Life is HARD. It's an error when people try to look for an easy path, in a difficult life.
The only thing that I know that makes life easier, and makes your job seem easier - Is when you accept that life is hard, and decide that you'll work hard day in day out. Interesting read.
So true. Life isn't easy, but it can be more fun or less fun, depending on which path you choose :)
