What you consider work many would not consider it work. You might have a talent which is what success is hinged on more than work, but many people won't consider what you do as "work" or "hard work" or even "16 hour work days". The ones that work hard and are quiet generally don't get promoted, as do the ones that are working harder than most everyone else but are too valuable in that position of being exploited, of being taken advantage of. The myth of hard work bringing success is an insidious tool of the sociopathic environment that dominates all aspects of "work", wittingly or not.
A phrase that makes much more sense than breaking your back as someone's tool is Work Smarter, not Harder or Longer, ie Appearing busy.
