May be.

Let me state it another way:  why should I care about anyone working harder
than another?

People don't value "hard work" (if they didn't do it themselves, of course :)
People value results.

So, if your goal is to play basketball like Michael Jordan, I'd ask you for
your plan to achieve it and take care in specifying the intermediate
results: what when how etc.  If you do achieve these results AND each of 
them is one step above your limit at that time, then I'll conclude that
you're working hard.

Yes?
