Not really. I've known lots of people who perform well within the responsibilities of their job without really working all that hard at it. Maybe they are under-performing their potential and working an easy job. Maybe they are just talented and that allows them to not work very hard. Maybe they have a manager who just doesn't push that hard? Unless you are just oblivious and think that you are the best you could ever be, most self-aware people can point to areas where they could improve. As someone who manages people, I have those conversations all the time. It's more a question of performance vs potential. Lots of people do great at work without working that hard.
