Nothing in Adult life comes easily

"Nothing in Adult life comes easily", now how far is this statement true. Just sit back and give it a thought.
Firstly, what do we mean by something "coming easily". Something for which we don't have to work hard, something which happens by accident ( a pleasant one) , to get something in life which we always wanted and get it by good luck without working for it like inheritance of lot of money from an unknown uncle. Or working against the law like selling drugs. But such things have equal amount of risk involved.
Another way of saying similar to the above statement is "when we talk about doing things the right way and the hard way most of the times both are one and the same thing."
