"Work hard and you will achieve your dreams!!"
I have never been a fan of the "work hard and you will get what you want!!" mantra that is spammed all over the place. A more realistic version of the advice is "work hard and you will increase your CHANCES of getting what you want. There is never a guarantee but you aren't hurting your chances by actually trying harder to achieve what you're after." I think this is a much more realistic version of this advice. It tells the person that working hard is important but it also doesn't give them false hope that hard work is going to get them what they want 100% of the time. Ultimately, that's what hard work does. The world is a complex place and there are numerous factors we can't predict or understand. We try to exert control over this randomness the best we can but we ultimately can't gain complete control. All we can do is increase our chances of a favorable result. There is almost never a guarantee.

Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!
