Hard work for good life

In Japan, old people sometimes recommend young people to work hard.
Is it correct way for good life ?

Old people dreams "Developing time"

Old people lived in "Developing time" of Japan.
At that time economics was growing and their salary was getting better.
They worked hard.
Then they earned money and bought a lot of things.
They still dreams that developing experience.

Now young people also work hard.

Now young people also work hard.
But sometimes hard working is not the best way for good life.
There are some things to prevent it.

Too much task

Like previous post, task is already too much.
Young people already work hard.

Overtime is limited.

Company wants to look good company.
So managers check employee's overtime and try to decrease it without managing task load.
It makes employees tired and makes work efficiency worse.

Few payment

Now economic does not develop so much.
Salary also does not increase.

Should young people work hard ?

No. "More work, more payment" is not true now.
So be careful to talk old people.
They sometimes give us wrong advise.

OMG !
