All the myths and stories of pretty much every culture reinforce these beliefs though. Stories are never about passive people putting in 12 hours a day, day after day building upon honest work. Its about slick instant gratification, getting ahead, winning through cunning, etc. The only way to really do that in the real world is through luck or cheating.

What myths and stories are you referring to? Hesiod’s Works and Days is opposed to exactly what you suggest. And the Myth of Eden in Judaism - the received tradition of its origin - is a commentary and the need to toil in life.

Both “Athens and Jerusalem” are principled according to honest toil. And look at the results!

George Washington, Ghandi, MLK, Churchill, Lincoln, Jobs, Torvalds, every religious figure, sports figures, artists, etc. ... they all are about "slick instant gratification, getting ahead, winning through cunning"?
