Why use the word "should"? Nobody is entitled to anything in our world. Working hard is not valuable in itself. The only reason it is encouraged is that it has the potential to bring about positive results. A world where people are rewarded based on how much they "tried" or worked would be highly dysfunctional. There is no moral basis on which to justify rewards without results.
