In education and employment, some people work harder than others. Why do some people work harder? Is it always a good thing to work hard?

It is undeniable that certain individuals go the extra mile at work or at educational centres. For the students, sacrificing their sleeping time and studying hard means they will manage to access almost any university or degree they desire later in life. In the case of the workers, most of them assume that by doing it, they will obtain better positions within companies. In my opinion, doing the best job you can is always beneficial, for both yourself and others, as it inspires the rest of the people to follow your path and it can give you academic and economic benefits.
