Honestly, I can understand your point of view, but I completely disagree with you.

I can just imagine myself telling my son, "hard work gets you nothing in most cases".

To me, that is completely false. But, if that's the narrative you want to tell your children, that's fine.

Also, I know text doesn't always convey intention, but i'm not saying you're wrong and i'm right. I'm just saying I don't agree with you.
