Has effort ever been enough?

They say the thing that matter the most in life is something that we can’t see. If it really is the case, effort should be one of the included matters. But has effort ever been enough? Have people really ever looked at how much of an effort a person throw instead of looking at the final result?
There are times—there are many times—when you are trying your best in a way that you think that you are worth to get a great result for it but instead the opposite happen. What the world needed is not your effort but something that another person happens to have easily.
I am not writing to conclude message or encourage a positive view, no, I am not that sane of a person. My efforts are often useless and I see how another person get what I want instead. But there are also times when I am that person in luck. I don’t know how effort could ever be enough or it’s really just enough. But what I want to say tonight is that I think it will be wonderful if the world see something out of an effort. And here what I mean is that you should see a person’s effort not by comparing what one do to another but how much it means for himself.
Let’s see people not by what he is but how he is and not by comparing but by understanding. What do you think? Will such world exist or do you prefer the world as it is right now?
