Well, I realized finally that all of the hard work paid off.

I work hard at my job, and I guess hard work pays off.

Nothing guarantees a person effortless wealth as when his SEASON comes.

I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.

As I understand it, sport is hard work for which you do not get paid.

Hard work always pays off, whatever you do.
