Reno Omokri has stated that ‘hard work does not pay, rather it kills’.

According to him, ‘stop being deceived by the upper class. Hard-work does not pay. It kills! It ages you before your time. If hard-work pays everyone will want to be a labourer or truckpusher.

There is only one thing that pays and that is smart work. Get smarter and you will get richer. Imagine yourself as an axe. “If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success.”-Ecclesiastes 10:10. Instead of increasing your strength, try sharpening your ax’.
