Thomas Edison's famous quote encapsulates the cultural emphasis on hard work in achieving success. While concepts like work-life balance have emerged, especially during the Women's Liberation Movement in the 1980s, figures like Elon Musk advocate for extreme dedication, contending that working longer hours leads to greater achievements. The ongoing debate weighs the need for personal life against the drive for professional success, reflecting historical shifts in labor laws and sociocultural attitudes toward work.
"I work hard, like every waking hour. If somebody else is working 50 hours [per week] and you're working 100, you'll get twice as much done in the course of a year as the other company."
"The term 'work-life balance' first appeared in the UK during the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1980s, emphasizing the need for more equitable work conditions for women."
