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?
Working smart is way more effective than working hard. If you work hard without thinking on what could be the easiest way to accomplish something, possibly you won't gain, you're just working hard and making yourself tired of your job. But if we work smarter than that, well, you have that light feeling, relax, joy, you gain knowledge and that can possibly brings you up to the highest rank.
Indeed mate, working smart can make us more doing little work with maximal result. Working smart need strategy and plan to accomplish something but the result more bigger than working hard.
