There is a difference between financial success, job success, life success and work life balance.

Seems like you equate financial and jobs success with life success and happiness. Seems kinda sad.

Even you basic premise doesn't make sense. Some people love to travel and sit on the beach and hike. Are they failures because they don't work hard enough at their jobs?

Life happiness and success is not always directly tied to job satisfaction. The idea that everyone can just magically work a job they love through hard work is laughable. Otherwise we'd all be astronauts, professional athletes and rock stars.
Cecil's conversation with Matata reminds me of this piece:

Spoiler!


Some people think their success (and their fulfilling job) is all due to "hard work". Yes, you do need to work hard, but there are so many other factors that they dismiss that led them to success. And of course, a lot of these successful people look down on others with "####ty" job as not trying hard enough.
