If gambling could be a your motivation just to work id rather not to have this mindset because you are just in the endless cycle of getting a work hard earned money and then you will spent the money again in playing gambling and once its all done you will work again until you drain yourself due to excessive work load and task, instead why not make yourself more improve, get assets, get a good amount of cashflow so you dont mind where to get a money on the next day and use for your gambling activities. By that still you can sustain and enjoy your satisfaction.
I totally agree with you and I see this as unwise for using gambling as a motivation or inspiration to work hard because gambling itself can be frustrating at times, disastrous and can cause serious depression. I doubt if there is any responsible gambler that will use gambling as an inspiration to work hard because that is self deceit. Gambling is something one should stay away from because of the force that always come after someone incur loss, that force can make one do what they are not suppose to do and the moment you do that which you are not suppose to do, you have already starting stepping foot into addiction.
While this may be true for some gamblers, it is not true for most gamblers. I have seen many gamblers who have quit their jobs to gamble, used up all their savings, borrowed from others, and ended up running away from home with a huge debt. I hope that other responsible gamblers, apart from these gamblers, can think about gambling in this way that if they don't work hard and earn extra money, they won't get extra money to gamble. Those who think like this can be an inspiration to other gamblers. We should gamble in this way so that we can always use extra money other than our savings to gamble. I hope that gambling in this way will not have any negative impact on our financial lives.
