"Working hard" is not directly related to anything but getting tired. There are too many other factors that must be included.
I'm not saying that successful people don't work hard, only that poor people work hard too and that working twice as hard won't necessarily get you twice as far. It's not a linear relationship.
It is not physically possible for Bill Gates to work a million times harder than Joe Blow. He's a billionaire but you aren't going to become a millionaire by working a thousand times less hard than Bill.
