Many people say that you should work hard if you want to succeed in life and rise to riches. I'd rather say that working hard will only make your boss richer, not yourself. On the other hand, there is an age-old adage which says that you should be working smarter, not harder. But working smarter is a vague idea, and I'm interested to hear what people have to say on this topic. As far as I'm concerned, I think that working smart comes down to creating environment where you will have more chances to meet Lady Luck smiling at you, where you will be able to hit a lucky strike because luck plays an ever-important role in our lives. For example, if you want to find a date to have a romantic relationship with or you are looking for a one-night stand only, you will go to a beach or a bar since your chances are higher there, right? The same approach seems to be applicable to work as well. In other words, stick around the places where your chances of success are the highest.
So share your opinions here, guys. What is your practical take on working smart?
Very well quoted lines by you and i completely agrees with you because in current scenario if you are working hard then you will earn but if you are working smartly using your intelligence then you will be earning great and live a levishful life.For instance a worker work 8-10 hours and get paid for all his hard work whereas on the otherhand a skilled worker earns better than him because of his mindset and smart knowledge.Don't make your boss rich choose your life and make yourself richer.
You think it's possible. The boss has money invested in the production and provides you work. Can you afford to work for yourself? Where you take the money to start your business. How many businesses have gone bankrupt! Boss is risking his money. Are you willing to risk your money? Therefore, I do not support such thoughts. A lot of people overestimate their importance.
