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?

I prefer working hard with smart strategic. It will make me a succes. I personally have did it. You can try to partcipate in bounty campaign.

For me, working smart and working hard always goes together. You cannot just live and be successful with one and not the other. Only working smart but not hard will make you someone not living up to your full potential. On the other hand, working hard but not smart will get you nowhere near success that you want. I know my answer would seem like a play-safe one but this is something that I truly believe in. There has to be a balance in everything. Working smart is about understanding your current position and creating a situation wherein opportunities might present itself. When you work smart, you take into consideration many different factors, evaluate that information and make a decision that others would not normally look at or do. Working hard is becoming tough not to give up when things fail and "working smart" no longer means working smart.
