Title: Working smart vs working hard (an ultimate guide)
Post by: Hell-raiser on March 09, 2018, 08:29:54 AM
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?



Below I will be posting replies which I consider most relevant, revealing and insightful on the topic discussed.



...

You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future. So I decided to quit my job, put my offline business. Although I still need to wake up early and oversee everything, I did enjoy what I'm doing and the best thing, I'm the boss. LOL. But there's some kind of element in luck as well. I don't know but I felt that I'm just lucky because suddenly I gain financial freedom and then when I discovered bitcoin, it give me another leeway, more funds for me to channel to my business. So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

...

Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

What do you mean by working smarter?

I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.

I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.

I also think you are wrong when you talk about luck. Because your boss (and those of very large companies) are perfectly aware that they are in such position thanks to their luck. So they tend to close their network, to make golden paths that lead to domination... and are completely unaccessible for anyone out of their private "leading sphere".

Frankly, I don't see where I'm wrong here when I mention luck and that you should not only take it into account as a possibility and be prepared to take advantage of it when it pops up, but in fact act toward increasing your chances of encountering it. If you mean that your boss is somehow depriving you of any chance of meeting luck in your life, I think this is simply impossible because it goes against the nature of luck. In other words, luck is something which is not supposed to happen but still happens, and whatever you or they do to close the doors to it, luck will overcome all the roadblocks in the end because it is in its very nature.

I agree that you will need both. Earning money in this world is easy once you have a good network of contacts and good capital, but at the beginning it's a nightmare.

Once we reach a certain point we can move towards passive income and work less, when we have a great amount of capital, and spend more time with family, travel and things like that. It all depends on what you want to do. If we worked hard and smart enough in some years we won't need to work anymore, you will then decide if you want to work for fun or do something else.

I know that the idea of working for fun sounds like crazy for a lot of people, but if you like what you do, then it's not so crazy.

No, it doesn't sound like crazy. Actually, you came up with an idea of a passive income, which I haven't yet seen coming up in this thread, well, not in the part that I was able to push through yet. If anything, working smart can be defined as an activity directed towards building more sources of passive income. That's an interesting idea anyway. It seems like this is the ultimate goal of working smart, that is doing more with less until you don't need to do anything in the end. And if you are a smart guy, you won't stop there, so I emphatically agree with your attitude and point of view.

A lot of people overestimate their importance.

Yeah, that's the point I want to emphasize massively and which I wholeheartedly agree with. Maybe, it is the first thing you should do before you start off on a working smart journey, I mean, correctly assess you abilities and whether you are actually as smart as you think you are as well as finding your smart spots and sticking around them. That idea should be definitely added to the piggy bank of ideas making your life easier and wealthier.

Working hard is different from working hard. Working smart is the act of using your brain to lighten your work. While working hard is your focusing all your strength in that certain work.

Post by: zhea on March 09, 2018, 09:10:16 AM
Its very hard to find the difference between the two, but for me I'll go both. I guess working hard and working smart will always be a partner. Working hard without using your intelligent is useless, we work hard for us to succeed that's why it is important that we should be smart on the strategies and techniques for us to be able reach what we aim in life. True that working hard will make our boss richer, we need also to be smart to look for a way that our lives also improves out from the salary that we got from our employer by thinking some ways on how to make our money grow out from our ideas and ability.

I think im working hard as well working like smart ass too. This world has changed a lot now and there was one time when we had the gold rush and that was only possible if you used to do the Hard Work.

For current era the hard work is not sufficient and the rest of the world getting smarter day by day I think we should become smart as well. There are so many things around the crypto currency and you have to choose things smartly here or you might just get slammed with scam projects.  :o

So the only solution is to get smarter and obviously hard work is to be added so that you can earn easily and learn things in smarter way.

People are just working hard for their family its not the intention for their boss to be more reacher. I think its their smartest way to have a promotion to the company. But for me I'll just invest my savings on cryptocurrency its another option to save more money and be like a boss in your own and that is the time you'll stop serving your boss.

Obviously, This is only for smart people along with their smart job. So that working smart is really essential at this moment. On the other hand, Working hard always and all the ways brings a lot of success. Without working hard, no one can succeed anywhere.
That's why we have to do our job with the combination of both smartness and hard work. No one can be smart without working hard. So at first, hard work should be started initially and then you will be smart naturally.

People who have the capabilities to work smart sometimes ain't recognized as such and they are being left with one choice - to work hard!

In the meantime, they are forgetting the fact that they have skills for the smart working and the hard working becomes their primary goal!

There are some people which are limited to the hard work because of their inability for smart work!

The modern age is based on the smart working but there are still those which cannot make a breakthrough to the path on which they can start their search for the smart work!

We need to working smart and working hard. You must have a smart brain before you start work and you need a strong body to work hard. To avoid stress think positive always all the thing you have to face because being positive will help you to work in your job.

Working smart will depend on your environment. We should have time for other activities rather than focusing our mind in one job. Its better to maximize our asset (not money-usually resources like new friend that may help you to learn and earn more and other places that will give you opportunity to grow) as of it will carry you to success.

yes it works hard only profitable to the owner of the company only, better if have a capital I want to be able to work smart, and I want to make an ornamental fish shop, aquarium equipment and aquascap. that way I can make money for myself and not have to work hard again for others.

He was a good worker, Dedicated and skilled but that was at a time before computers really.
Nowadays there are so many more opportunities for people to work Smarter rather than working hard for someone else.
Of course we have to be able to identify how to work smarter and not harder and there are through no fault of their own identify this.

there are many today who are working smart but not working hard. they are taking advantage of those who do hard work for their own purpose and benefit at the expense of others. they are smart in making fool of people because they cannot do hard work. But i also believe that those who are smart and hard working will go a long way in business and society.

This is a very amazing, great idea.

At this time the development of information technology experience that can earn big money like today's digital money.

I also think positively like that indeed if we work hard just wasted time because it does not match the energy we spend with the income we receive, while the people who become wealthy results from our hard work.

We do have to think more intelligently, and do not be left behind with the knowledge of technological development because of the many benefits we will get.

We may be intelligent in the knowledge of development that can earn income, this is indeed a big benefit for us all over the development of the times.

The premise is to prepare smart work skills!

The smart job is to create a better platform for ourselves!

Working smart is essentially about improving productivity. Producing more with less resources and less time. And with improved productivity comes improved profits.

So yeah, without the urge to work smart, we'd still be in the stone age, grinding our bones and wearing ourselves out on hard work!

Sorry to say that, but I don't think that making yourself more productive in a quantitative way as in producing more with less counts as working smart. To me, what you say is pretty much synonymous with working harder. In fact, this is how you make your obnoxious boss more wealthy, by doing more for the same buck on the account that your productivity has risen. Why would you ever want that? Smart work means you get a lot more in terms of money before anything else for essentially the same amount of effort. After all, isn't it what being smart is all about?

Well I dont know from where this came but people think that working hard and working smart is different and ... Working smart is in fact working hard + thinking ( giving it a direction).
You know it's safe to say that working smart is more tiring... Than just working hard aimlessly.
We should understand that we need to work hard no matter what .

Well, i see some sorts of how good employees working hard on a company for the purpose of financial needs of the family and also for there status to accelerate in rank but this time working smart is most effective in making financial needs because we are ultimately work financially itself by doing online job not neccessarily working in a company with a boss. Giving your best smart is a key to success.

A good topic to turn into a debate.  But should this topic required here?  Though it's worth sharing each one's thought on hard work and smart work,  this won't serve much. I really appreciate your initiative to contribute your skills and experience to this forum. Get depth studying, analysing crypto moves,  news and etc and then create threads to serve more here.  Apologize if this harms you.  Thank you buddy.

Working hard doesn’t mean you have your boss, it can also be use to achieve your goal. Your goal will make you more inspire until you work smarter and that’s the result of being hard working. We work because we want something to achieve and it you are committed on that, you will do everything.

I wholeheartedly agree with your comment but here I want to discuss more practical aspects of being smart in respect to how we earn our living. Indeed, you can't just decide to become smart and then fake it till you make it. It is more about your actions, not about your ideas. We all know than working smart is better than working hard, but what distinguishes one from the other in real life? In other words, I consider this thread as more of a practical guide to being or working smart rather than some abstract and mostly useless musings over the matter, something which you can take home. An example of that I have given in the OP. This is the approach which I try to follow myself but obviously it is not the only possible way to get there.

Working smart and working hard should be come together. Working hard is not so easy to do and accomplish. Working smart maybe the next thing to do after working hard. To be a successful one, we need to work hard. We cant reach what we want if we dont make a move. Everything must go in a process. We need to work hard to achieve what we want and also we need to work smarter. On the other side, we need to work smarter for us to say that we are working hard. You need to have a knowledge and we need to be smart in everything that we are doing. We need a focus so that they must say that we are working hard.

Post by: sheldonnnn on March 09, 2018, 11:40:28 AM
Both are essential.  If we want to be successful, we shouldn't be content to simply work smarter. The most successful people work smart, but they also work exceptionally hard. They maintain the same level of persistence and drive while learning ways to do things more efficiently. Hard work and smart work alone are not sufficient for success.

For me i can say its not enough if you just work hard coz even me im working for 12 hours a day and no day-off but still theres no changes in my life status I still live in poverty.So i think working hard will be more effective when u work in smarter way.Even you work smarter but your too lazy its still useless so working hard and working smart should be combined.

Working hard and working smart is totally different, people said that you have to work harder so you can reach your dreams this isn't true so many people out there have been working so hard to reach their dreams but they failed while the other can reach the dreams by working smarter. The richest people are those who worked smarter they are literally making money by hiring those who work harder, so you know the difference between these subjects.

 Yeah this is the reality. Ask the old peoples and they will tell how they used do the hard work and they never got the share they should have been receiving always. What they received is just the shouts of big boss and more than 8 hours of work schedule in the same chair. Couldn't believe how they did it for so long time. Just look at the todays world now, people here are working very smart and they have no bosses on the asses. They can earn as much they want and whenever they want it to do so. So thats the difference between these two types of working types. We must choose wisely and change according to the situation.

Good one buddy.If you are hard worker,both of your boss and lead will get as much work from you.In single word,they use you for they growth and development.If any one in your team not working well,your lead ask you to complete it with patience.But the fact is you are fool.So I would like to be a smart worker and still I was as like that.

How do I define working hard? Working hard for me is something like you do the hard job like masonry, plumbing, carpentry and the like that involves too much energy in order to give a better output. A hard work but less income as to compare with those who are working smart. Most of the people who do this job are those who was not given the chance to finish their studies. Their mindset is "to work and be paid". But for the smarter people who have the same job like this, maybe their offer a negotiation, agreement and contract on how to finish the project with the agreed price at a given time, so that aside from their daily income they can have a profit also for the agreement and contract they made.

Working smarter needs a lot of self determination and positive outlook in life that whatever you do, it will succeed. And when time comes that there is a failure, consider this as a lesson that teaches us to do better. It also means that you don't have to stick for only one job at a time, have a part time job as much as possible but not to the extent that you almost forgot yourself to have a time for relaxation because if that will happen, it is like you are working harder.

Working hard and working smart is totally different, people said that you have to work harder so you can reach your dreams this isn't true so many people out there have been working so hard to reach their dreams but they failed while the other can reach the dreams by working smarter. The richest people are those who worked smarter they are literally making money by hiring those who work harder, so you know the difference between these subjects.
So the bottom line is working  harder would  not guaranteed your  success smart worker  has  a greater  opportunity to success than hard worker. Know  how to use around you for your advantage is a smart move.

What do you mean by working smarter?
If you are working as a programmer, then it may be right, as a smart programmer can do in few minutes something that a hard worker programmer that didn't think a lot about the code that he is going to write and about other ways of programming, would do in hours.
I think that if you want to be the perfect employer, you need to both work hard and work smart, That's the type of employers who earns the most and are the most successful in their life.

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?

How are you going yo have some chances if you do not work hard? I believe many of them want to work smart beside a work hard but they do not really get what is working hard and what is working smart. By being a hard worker does not mean you can't find a good salary, I believe many of them already working hard and get what do they want and good salary too. Besides, working smart is you take very good chances and use that chances to get out from your comfort zone and starting a new business which is this is really hard for many people and that is why they just keep on working hard instead of working smart

Working hard and working smart is both essential for you to be efficient. In order to achieve your goals you need to think wisely and work hard to reach it. My practical way on working smart is to have savings while working and start to look for passive income so that your hard earned money will gain additional profit.

My opinion about these two things is that smart work works with the mind to use with little effort. While hard work works to use more time and extra effort for the same results. But in the modern era where internet is increasingly used for all activities I agree to work smarter in order to use a more productive time.

Yes its true, for me being hardworker is good, that is also being sincere and commited to things you are requested to do. However being a smart worker is being wise like you have to find ways to make your work faster and easier to do. Both attitudes are good values to aquire when you are employed. So be a hardworker at the same time a smart worker.

Working hard isnt enough to achieve and get anything you wanted, sometimes working smart is also needed.Just like in bitcoin, even if you work hard and put mucn effort in it, but you doesnt think wisely with your decisions, one mistake could lead you in losing the chance to get well and make money.Think wisely and work hard is a good combination specially in this line of work, investing.

Working wise is better rather than working hard. If you work hard then don't use your mind then you're just fooling yourself because you are just doing things over and over again without progression and advancements. By working wise you will have less time working because you think of a better way of doing things. Entrepreneurs work smart, they think of something new in the market that's why they succeed in life. Working hard is also a good mindset but you have to work smart because this will make everything a lot easier.

As stated smart work gets the outcome in a short time, whereas the outcome of hardwork takes time to reach the same attained through smart work in a much lesser time period. Another thing, in most cases one who has been successful through hardwork might have not enjoyed his life, the upcoming generation enjoys what he has earned through hard work.

If we notice working smart better than working hard because:

I would really prefer this line "Love Your Work" compared to those two because if you have this you would really lead up to work hard and work smart which would be a good tandem if you done these both things on what you are doing.Why would choose up on having one if you can able to work hard while you work smart.

People who work smart sometimes takes advantage of people who are working hard. There are some circumstances that these people gets lazy and get to pass all the work to the hard working ones.

Its true that you should work hard in order to achieve what you want but also take in consideration not to over do your work, being smart at work is a must to do your job properly and right.

Work smart is what we are doing now with cryptocurrency and working hard is what we were doing before the advent of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology enable us to do everything in a wise way and more advanced ways than what we were doing then.  Therefore, being smart is better than working hard.

Post by: audaciousbeing on March 09, 2018, 01:21:35 PM
Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

I wholeheartedly agree with your comment but here I want to discuss more practical aspects of being smart in respect to how we earn our living. Indeed, you can't just decide to become smart and then fake it till you make it. It is more about your actions, not about your ideas. We all know than working smart is better than working hard, but what distinguishes one from the other in real life? In other words, I consider this thread as more of a practical guide to being or working smart rather than some abstract and mostly useless musings over the matter, something which you can take home. An example of that I have given in the OP. This is the approach which I try to follow myself but obviously it is not the only possible way to get there.

In deciding to work smart, its actually depends on the field you are operating and not necessarily one have to be involved in crypto after all, people have been working and making money even before the advent of cryto and would continue to do same if crypto is no long in existence.

For example, an accountant working for an accounting firm to gather experience in that chosen field, working hard would mean getting early to work everyday and closing late, ensuring client delivery, going to work on weekends in other to ensure deadlines are met, getting up to date about the current happenings in the profession only to earn your salary at the end of the month because there is no other time to do some other things.

However, working smart would mean that in the midst of doing all of those things, you have a separate venture on the side where you build your client base, if you are working in an audit firm, set up business that is into accounting software installation and training ( to avoid conflict of interest). Another is to start negotiating on commission when you bring in a new client or negotiate a new fee with the client beyond certain level. That is working smart rather than working hard.

Good one buddy.If you are hard worker,both of your boss and lead will get as much work from you.In single word,they use you for they growth and development.If any one in your team not working well,your lead ask you to complete it with patience.But the fact is you are fool.So I would like to be a smart worker and still I was as like that.
Just because you work hard that doesn't mean you're a fool. One reply that you can read above said you can work hard and smart at the same time which is true. It still doesn't hurt to start working hard if you don't have any experience or knowledge on how to work smart.


This is an interesting question to discuss. Working smart is at least more pleasant than working hard and I believe that it is also generally more profitable. However, I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

Hi,

I think you are right.. and wrong.

I think you are right when you say that working harder won't do. That's what your boss wants you to believe, but indeed, I think it is a lie. Just because working hard is never as rewarded as it should be. Because we are living in world in which being young and beautiful is much more important than being smart!

I also think you are wrong when you talk about luck. Because your boss (and those of very large companies) are perfectly aware that they are in such position thanks to their luck. So they tend to close their network, to make golden paths that lead to domination... and are completely unaccessible for anyone out of their private "leading sphere".

I hope this can change. But I think this only way it may change is that we fight. We will never get a fairer situation if we are not ready to fight for it.
And I think this is true in all countries, no matter their GDP!

You should always do both. Working smart is finding efficiency to reach your goal. While working hard is still necessary to take advantage of the more efficient process.

I agree that you will need both. Earning money in this world is easy once you have a good network of contacts and good capital, but at the beginning it's a nightmare.

Once we reach a certain point we can move towards passive income and work less, when we have a great amount of capital, and spend more time with family, travel and things like that. It all depends on what you want to do. If we worked hard and smart enough in some years we won't need to work anymore, you will then decide if you want to work for fun or do something else.

I know that the idea of working for fun sounds like crazy for a lot of people, but if you like what you do, then it's not so crazy.

The idea that you should work smarter, not only harder isn't anything new. When talking about the difference between smart and hard work it's pretty simple to explain what working hard means. if you want to be successful in the long run, you have to put long hours to work. you have to start early, before all other people, and you have to stay up late, when everyone else is already enjoying their afternoons and evenings. on the other hand, it's really hard to find very clear guidelines on what working smart really means and how it's different from hard work. it's very obvious that even if you're determined that nobody will outwork you, you still have maximum reach pretty fast. and there's always someone who's willing to sleep less than you. On top of that, many people work hard, but only a few become really successful. that's because smart work is what makes the difference.

The hardest work uses low-skilled workers. I have nothing against such people. But in order to have an education it is necessary to study long and well. At this point, you do not receive income. You spend your money on education. It's an investment in your future. A lot of people don't want to do that. They want to get less money but right away. Why complain later? Each of us wants to get coins but not everyone wants to buy expensive equipment and risk their money. To each his own.

yeah working hard in real state can make your boss richer but here in crypto world even you worked hard there's no regrets 'cause there's no boss just knowledge and efforts you can earn more profits on it for yourself (like a boss.) so i suggest if you're planning to leave your work in real state you should accumulate first so that you can invest in crypto to gain more profits for your future.

Why not both things in one, right? although we are too smart to do those things if we don't have the eagerness and willingness to work hard and just relying on the people to work for us will be useless. That is why we need those 2 traits in order for us to become successful in anything we want.

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.

I don't agree if you work hard you will be succeed in life and you'll become rich, ( i don't judge people who working hard ) but if you can see there's so many people who work hard but when it comes to financial status their broke! and if you notice some of successful people they work smart and their money working for them selves that's the reason why rich get richer and poor get p**rer.
The hardest work uses low-skilled workers. I have nothing against such people. But in order to have an education it is necessary to study long and well. At this point, you do not receive income. You spend your money on education. It's an investment in your future. A lot of people don't want to do that. They want to get less money but right away. Why complain later? Each of us wants to get coins but not everyone wants to buy expensive equipment and risk their money. To each his own.
Having a degree, attainment or education is a matter of choice of a person who needs proper skill and mandatory aspects to get for future investment in landing a job. However,being a worker that has no enough skills but with determination to do a job makes sense at all. Regardless of where you live and you're earning money with in working, both smart  and putting effort in it are the keys of successful people.

Tips on how to work smart/smarter:
-Plan ahead. Our actions should be carefully evaluated before they are executed.
-80/20 rule. We should know when to stop, 80% is often perfectly acceptable.
-Automate. Create a tool that will eliminate as many of the repetitive tasks as possible.
-Ask for help. There is absolutely no shame in asking for it.
-Think outside the box. Find better, more efficient ways to accomplish your objective.
Maybe it could get useful for somebody  :)

Work means the combination of act and motion of persons. While differentiate working smart to working hard is something that's confusing. But in my own understanding about this is..  Working smart is one traits of person where in he/she using much more their brain or mind to do something, while working hard is capability of person that much more using of strength body to perform with full force. Each of this two are the right combination to have by any persons to reach their goal and success in the near future.

Working hard and working smart is something that should always be done in the same way. If only work smart only without the hard work accompanied the results will not be perfect, and vice versa. So both are just as important to be employed in your work.

That's what makes ordinary men and women successful in life financially. A great opportunity that they took and made prosper. Doesn't necessarily mean that it was easy, but easier than some. The timing is just right when there is a demand for the things that they do. Marketing is also part of it. If everything can be done with only hard work, then most of us will be millionaires by now.

Working hard is different from working hard. Working smart is the act of using your brain to lighten your work. While working hard is your focusing all your strength in that certain work.

I think this two is comparison working smart vs. Working hard. In doing a job its better that you must think first on how you will do that job.  You have a game plan or strategies,  so that you will be guided. Then apply your strengths in doing your job you must work hard so that you can gain a success.

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.

Working smart and hard are both needed to become successful. If you are smart, you can do your work well and efficiently. If you are hard working, you can finish your work at a given time because you are serious about it. These two should be done side by side to gain.

Being smart is about making smart choices. Its about making the right decision, the right step or the right choice. Smart people move up the ladder real fast. They also are the ones that have great cars, lot of money, and everything else the rest of us desire.

One should be smart enough to know where to do the hard work in order to achieve the success or the desired goal. If everywhere you keep working hard and not getting results means their is some flaw in the system or in our self and we need to know that so exactly we can focus on our work and work hardly to achieve it.

For current era the hard work is not sufficient and the rest of the world getting smarter day by day I think we should become smart as well. There are so many things around the crypto currency and you have to choose things smartly here or you might just get slammed with scam projects.  :o

So the only solution is to get smarter and obviously hard work is to be added so that you can earn easily and learn things in smarter way.
Working smart that is a good smarter people,they use their brain how to be smart in their Job or working,and it make them easy for their self,not like the hard working,they use their effort to work,no mattee how hard it is they still need to work,for the sake of their future someday,

When you are only working smart, chances of success are high if you have enough luck to turn things under your favor and working hard may only make you stronger in that field and not rich. So, according to me both aspects of working hard and smart should be taken together. Success and fortune can't just ring you door bell, its like wining a lottery ticket where chances of wining are very low. So, for achieving success and fortune one should work hard with smart brains to stay ahead of everyone in their field.

I always relate this to studying in a smart way rather than a hard one. I always tend to study in a smart way because I believe in my potentials. Working hard will only bring you tiredness and stress, thus will make you workaholic. On the other hand, if you want to achieve relief, you should not tire yourself but work comfortably and of course that includes working smart. Believe, the outcome will be good and it always goes swimmingly with me.

Indeed, working hard makes you tired at the end of the day. Where as when you work smart, you will have a relax time and would definitely make the work easier. Same as the way earnings should be done, you have to do a smary way of earning instead of doing it the hard way. Another thing is when you do a smart way of your job you will have a bigger chance of earning bigger income.

I've heard in crypto specifically this statement is even more relevant. Working hard will not make you as many profits as working smart will. In Crypto I would say educating yourself on the fundamentals of long/short-term investing/trading, macro/micro influences, news, staying connecting through networking to hear about the latest from other informed people insider type of information, and doing your fundamental due diligence on investments is what it means to work smart in Crypto.

I always have strategies and second thoughts before I make a move here in cryptocurrency world and I think I'm only doing it in a smart way. Working hard is also needed too if you're in the beginning and you know only some about bitcoin, and eventually when days are past you gradually learn more advance knowledge and this is the time you need to work smart in order to succeed in the later part of your career here. So no matter what happens you will experience both along the way.

Speaking of working hard and working smart, in my view, we should need working smart rather than working hard. Working hard is knowing how to schedule the time to do different tasks without being too focused on something, the way to be smart, that helps us to save time for ourselves to do many different things. But in some individual cases, we also have to work hard to be able to finish on time.

Come to think of it, most successful people who are now rich magnates have first worked hard in order to be where they are. WE often hear the story of the poor boy who have risen from rags to riches. Successful business men who started out by being a small time vendor then owning their own businesses, buildings or malls in the future. But I guess they worked smart along with it in order to be where they are. They have outsmarted their past bosses and even became their CEOs because of their wits.

My personal goal is to work hard, smart, efficient, whatever you like to call it, to have enough money as investment capital at some point in the future. My goal in life is that I want to reach a level at which I don't need to work for money anymore, but have my money work for me. I am still quite far away from achieving this, but at least I have enough years ahead of me to work on that. If that means I have to continue with my regular job, then I will for many more years. I'm saving only, and don't spend anything on redundant goods I don't need. If you want to reach your goals, you have to 'sacrifice' some short term pleasure. Others might not look at things in the same fashion, but that's all fine -- we all have our own ways of getting to the level we want to be at. I feel that it is working for me, which is the most important thing.

I mean, we will work hard and we will work smart. In our life, we don't need just to work hard in order to meet our success sometimes we will know where we will earn more. Working smart is good ideology, it makes the person more knowledgeable about thinking a possible income without any exerting force. But as we can see, we must be a hardworker no matter what we are do.
Therefore, what if we will work smart and somehow, we will work hard. If we can do the same thing in a simultaneously way for sure, we will achieve our goals in life.

Smart work and hard work can be done in every job, depending on your dedication to work. If you are not a lazy person. Our dedication to work may be our reason for hard work and smart work. These two components can not be separated in my opinion. If you work smart you will definitely think of something to make the job easier, and unknowingly we work hard to think of it.

For me working hard is a choice by everyone. Even working smart is a choice also.
Now we can combine this both work hard and work smart. Work smart can be work hard because many people just working hard not working smart. If we say working smart, the person who are working hard can save the salary then one invest it in the fullness of time while working. At the proper time the investment will growth and increase to millions of dollars. That person can have his own business if he wanted or he can focus on investment. So far not all of us can afford million dollars that's why we need to apply both.

For me both. Working hard and working smart is the best partners. If you work hard without using your intelligence will not make you rich but you will make your boss rich not you. While working smart is making your wok lighter and easy for you to do. So if you do both of them then it is a very successful work for you and your company to be rich.

everyone has different thoughts and paths. one person who chooses hard work, they just want to work instant and get instant results too. while one other person who chooses to work smart, they tend to think to start new things and can produce a work that is beneficial forever and the results can be enjoyed for good. although at the beginning they have not got results, but the work they do can earn income forever even though he is dead because his efforts can be passed on by the next generation.

actually combining the two is a good thing. working smart is needed when you have a lot of work and when you're smart you'll have a strategy to make it more time-saver and more energy-efficient for you. and working hard will be needed if you want to get a certain purpose and when you work hard of course you will get your goal

Working hard with hard work is clearly different. Working hard means working by relying on our physical strength or strength, while hard work means we focus all our abilities and minds on one thing. Work smart without the support of hard work of course the result will not be maximized. It's good we use both to achieve success.

Working hard is will give you a lot of experience, strong skills and ideas how to work is smart. I worked in a food company and my work time was 12 hours very hard and tiredly. When I discovered bitcoin on how it's work and what you may get and will be change your life from there, I started to study about CryptoCurrency to learn and have knowledge. If I have a lot of money I  planning to quit on my job and build a business for the future and focusing on bitcoin, that's a working smart.

In simple terms working hard is work/job that you must start early in the morning and stops late at night to have more income. To be successful in the long run we have to put long hours into work.
While working smart is a work/job that can be done in short number of hours with the same result as working hard.

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?

You may be able to get what you wanted when you work hard but you can get the same reward when you work smart with a little less work. One of the things that I can compare with working hard and working smart is having a job. When you work hard, you just focus on finishing your job on time and when you get your salary, you just spend as much as what you have received because you know there will be a next paycheck. When you work smart, upon receiving your salary, you save a little amount and invest in another source of income and then later on, you will have bigger income and if possible if you have bigger passive income and can live off with it, you can stop working for others and work for your business.

A person working hard may be able to travel because of his pay check but a person working smart will be able to travel as well because of his income from his business and what is more rewarding is that the one who work smart own his time but the one who work hard has a time limit.

Working smart is applying the simplest ways to earn huge income while doing it in a less effort like you just only working for 3-5 hours but the return is 10x compared to working very hard but the salary is not big enough to the services that you rendered, but I think you need to combine these two to make your life easier work hard in a smart way.

hmmm.. I really do think that you have a point there. But together with working smart, you should also put in the hard work. knowing what to do alone is not gonna be enough for anyone. the same also goes with only working hard, if you only work hard and do not decide properly or as you say, work smarter, you will only end upstressing yourself too much without getting any benefits that you deserve.

I would say, hard work does not alone lead to success, smart work supports to achieve the milestone aimed to. Smart work indeed required now as everyone is rushing towards the same destination, its the one who gets near soon. So think and work smart. I do come across hard worker and smart worker everyday in my office. I do see smart worker get relaxed in completing tasks given then people still working hard to finish the task given. If really up to individuals experience i would say.

I think it has to be the balance of two. Nothing can beat hardwork but it has to be from the heart, with sincerity and passion. It's for yourself not for others. At the same time, you have to be smart in dealing with different obstacles at work, smart enough to decide and manage time, to have your hardwork paid off and rewarded. Success is a result of combined attributes.

It's a subtle line, you can work diligently and hard as a horse your whole life and feel like a rat walking on a spinning wheel. I believe more than increasing your income, working smart means how efficient you can be with your daily hours, are you using them correctly? Are you not wasting time? And also means how much you know yourself, do you know if you're overworking yourself? Are you sure you have enough time and skill? And last thing is your ability to make plans. What you gonna do with your money? Invest? Immigrate? Study? And for last and not less important, balance it well with your personal life, so you never forget who you really are and enjoy life to the fullest.
But of course, everything is meaningless if you don't work hard for it.  ::)

Both working hard and working smartly could lead you to success. These are the fundamentals in achieving one's goal. Working hard only without possessing smart attitudes towards work will put your effort to waste while working also smartly without effort will not going to make the goals success. Thus the basis are not only about working hard and working smart because there are other factors as well. This will include strategic planning, attitude towards attaining the goals, and sustaining it might as well to consider. Because all of us want to be successful then we have to strive for more and intensify like having our campaign for bitcoin. As we all know that this campaign would be not that so hard since bitcoin already gain its popularity and being recognized all over the world. And Bitcoin also is an innovative revolutionary currency in being develop nowadays.

But in my own opinion, i will prefer working hard. Because working hard will lead you to become smart, you will not be able to learn or to do something hard without hardwork. Working smart without hardwork is nothing. Thats only my opinion because i believe nothing beats hardwork.

In my own opinion working smart is better. Because working hard without knowing the things you're working for it will become useless and nonsense at all. You just keep working hard with out knowing the strategies, the right way to do it and how to do it. So its better to be smart because being smart is being able to know your strength and weakness in your field of job.

Post by: Kim Ji Won on March 10, 2018, 05:44:01 AM
Wouldn't it be better if you do both? I mean, working smart is not appropriate to all situations you are in. Not all jobs require you to only be smart, you still have to work hard to attain the result you desire. Let's say for example in cryptocurrencies, you are working smart by doing your own research about ICOs so that you could prevent being scammed or losing your money and at the same time you are working hard because you are putting much effort in every research you make. It would be nice if you could adjust to every situation you encounter.

My best example regarding about harworking person is me, myself, I've been working since year 2,000 and until now I still working this particular company. And as of this moment I am not totally belong to a successful people, but it doesn't mean that I'm not a smart person, although many successful persons are already belong to a rich family, so a people who succeed are based on the life situation. But there are also few people who became rich which is from a poor family, they are using their knowledge and ability by successfully graduated as topnotchers. For me, being a smart and hardworking is highly needed on a person to succeed their life goals.

Yes I agree because your opinion is so real in today's lifestyle or in our everyday life as a worker. Some people work hard because they think it will make them rich but the reality is that they will remain a worker for a lifetime. I can say that working hard isn't always a way to get rich maybe a factor and I think having our own business is something nearly possible. Working smarter is the best choice because we can be with the flow of our daily lives I mean a balance one. The reason why I stick in every crypto community is that I want to enhance my knowledge about the blockchain technology and of course to earn money. It is not a chance but a previlige and has a lot of opportunity to grab and work with.

For me working smart means that you give your best to your job and at the same time build your connections or network. It does not mean that you will kiss ass but it means that people will notice you and your work. So that when opportunity comes, you will be one of those who the bosses might think of. Do not just put all your energy in your desk. Advertise yourself, your work in a humble manner. Offer help and volunteer. Be a people person.

In my opinion, working hard or working smart is just like the used of these two words, "complete or finish";and i think that working hard or working smart has very little or no deference. Sometime we make statement using the word "finish or complete" to mean the same thing,which is just a similar way to express working hard or working smart.

In summary, I think smart work is a step that comes from hard work. Difficulty and problem solving jobs comes from hard work. Smart work comes after the experience from working hard,and a man that time knows what to do and how to do his or her work better or even best.

most people I know say that hard work is the key, but I cant see the success in them, yes they are hard working,even my parents work hard for us but we are still not rich. Yet, I know some people who got rich by working smart but she advices that working hard is needed. So I concluded that the success is attainable by the combination of knowledge and hard work, and I guess a little bit of luck. Working smart takes the opportunity available and he works hard so that he can make money out of it.  Working smart is not enough if you want to be successful.

Working smart makes you efficient and effective,  working hard makes you reliable and trustworthy. Thus,  this two characteristics are essential for you to become successful in whatever endeavor you take. You have the intelligence to analyze and drive to work harder to achieve what you want. There are different situations,  one may require you to be smart and one may require you to work hard.  Therefore,  these two are great personality to possess.

What do you mean by working smarter?
If you are working as a programmer, then it may be right, as a smart programmer can do in few minutes something that a hard worker programmer that didn't think a lot about the code that he is going to write and about other ways of programming, would do in hours.
I think that if you want to be the perfect employer, you need to both work hard and work smart, That's the type of employers who earns the most and are the most successful in their life.

I think this is a fresh idea and a good starting point for further discussion. I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.


Title: Re: Working smart vs working hard
Post by: crisasimo10 on March 10, 2018, 09:41:53 AM
Its very hard to find the difference between the two, but for me I'll go both. I guess working hard and working smart will always be a partner. Working hard without using your intelligent is useless, we work hard for us to succeed that's why it is important that we should be smart on the strategies and techniques for us to be able reach what we aim in life. True that working hard will make our boss richer, we need also to be smart to look for a way that our lives also improves out from the salary that we got from our employer by thinking some ways on how to make our money grow out from our ideas and ability.

I agree, but for the definition, for me working hard  is like getting it done without any strategies or plan, like when you need to transfer a heavy box to another place and you used your stregnth to carry it, while working smart is doing it differently where you can use a trolley instead that would provide the same result but less effort and probably faster. Doing it at the same time would definitely provide better outcome and would maximize your chances to achieve whatever your goals are, but on the other hand luck for me involves tAking risk unless it is pure luck.  This is just my opinion and you  guys might have other definition  on this which you can also share with us.

Employers often like hard-working people, and they are often employed in high-pressure jobs, but wages are often not high. Smart people are often invited by employers to work for them, jobs are usually low pressure but high salaries, although the job they do is often the position requires high expertise, and it requires you to use All data related to work, and hard work will not do this.

Working smart and working hard are both good ways on how you can finish your work better. But if you are going to choose if you will work hard or work smart, working in a smart way is better. Because you can minimize your work but will still have a good result.


Title: Re: Working smart vs working hard
Post by: Hell-raiser on March 10, 2018, 10:19:26 AM
This is an interesting question to discuss. Working smart is at least more pleasant than working hard and I believe that it is also generally more profitable. However, I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.

indeed! I agree with this idea. We need to work smart rather than work hard because if you work smart your career grow fast and you will be notice easily by your employer so career move on your part and it can save time, your employer offered you a higher position compare to work harder your doing the traditional way to achieve your output or quantity.

By being a hard worker does not mean you can't find a good salary, I believe many of them already working hard and get what do they want and good salary too. Besides, working smart is you take very good chances and use that chances to get out from your comfort zone and starting a new business which is this is really hard for many people and that is why they just keep on working hard instead of working smart

I think I have explained it earlier in the thread. Somehow I believed it should be intuitively clear that to work smart you must be a smart guy yourself in the first place. It is not something which comes on its own in the blink of an eye, and ironically even that is smart work vs hard work. Apparently, if you are a dumbass all you have to do is to work like a dog and you may still fail to make ends meet. That doesn't mean that you won't be able to get a good salary after a few dozen years of hard work. But this is not what most of us want anyway. We want a life after all, and we don't want to waste it, right?

Both of them are really helpful. But it depends on your own knowledge, personality skills to work it both in a single way. A very hard working person can make a lot of idea how to make money. But in different kind of working smart.. A people who have a brain and intelligent person can make money in easy way but not enough to be successful.
.
Yes you can not disregard hardwork from being smart in working.when it comes to success both are needed.and besides i have never seen harworking person goes hungry.

Hardworking people are rarely seen to be hungry but these days, being hardworking is not enough for you to be a successful individual with a lot of people starting to fool people which is also known as scam.

They are taking advantage of people who are wanting to earn money in different ways making them believe that it will give them good profit but then ran the money with them. If you are a hard-worker, you must be also smart.

Smart work and hard work can be done in every job, depending on your dedication to work. If you are not a lazy person. Our dedication to work may be our reason for hard work and smart work. These two components can not be separated in my opinion. If you work smart you will definitely think of something to make the job easier, and unknowingly we work hard to think of it.
Yeah of course both can be done and usually many successful people have both. how they get rich of course they work hard on the business they do. when their business is still below, of course they will continue to work hard until their business becomes big. then they also work smart because it is able to bring many customers to their products. of course it's done with a smart strategy

I think these two are essential to experience success and it actually depends in an individual how he can obtain it.
I have a friend that's really smart but don't have strategy in life, he just use his brain all the time but nothing yet happen. While my other friend is hard working a strategic one, he solve life problems unexpectedly, he isn't that smart but he can survive through his hard work and now he's more successful.

Actually, you will not get rich even when you work smart or hard if you are an employee. You will only make your work easier if you work smart but the profit will go directly to your boss. The only thing to get out of the cycle is to take risk and become a boss also. Work smart for yourself and you will earn for yourself. Work hard on what you have to build and the profit will get back to you hard also.

If we talk about the crypto so here both smartness and hardworking is necessary for done any thing in crypto for the crypto user it is necessary to work hard and for the investor it is required to work like a smart person. People are doing their best to be successful in the future and those people who work hard in the crypto by performing jobs they are also earning a good amount of bitcoin which is enough for living a good life many new people are working in bitcoin for bitcoin holding and they wish to sold their bitcoin in the future when the bitcoin prices were high.

I'll choose both, because working hard and working smart is a good way to do better in your work, its not just if you work hard your boss will only become richer? i dont think so, because if you dont work hard then how can you earn more money if your lazy in your work? how will your rank up if you dont work hard and just work smart? both things will help you to become richer and achieve your goals. Dont argue because the two things is good for you.

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?
For me "working smart" has two meanings. First one is that "smart" refers to those kind of work, that require you intellect, rather than physical exercises. Intellectual work isn't that difficult, comparing to physical, but it must be appreciated more. And the second meaning, "smart" may also refer to the way you do your work, not the nature of work: you need to find useful contacts, you need to know how to plan your time, you have to be orderly and know how to present yourself.

Below I will be posting replies which I consider most relevant, revealing and insightful on the topic discussed.

...

You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future. So I decided to quit my job, put my offline business. Although I still need to wake up early and oversee everything, I did enjoy what I'm doing and the best thing, I'm the boss. LOL. But there's some kind of element in luck as well. I don't know but I felt that I'm just lucky because suddenly I gain financial freedom and then when I discovered bitcoin, it give me another leeway, more funds for me to channel to my business. So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

...

Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

What do you mean by working smarter?

I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.

I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.

Being a smart worker for me means you need not to depend on the " luck". It just mean you need to have your strategy making your work easier and stress free while achieving a success in work. It does not mean also that you have to do the wrong thing or sacrificing others people for your own benefit. Being smart and a hardworker must go together to achieve success with true happiness and contentment.

I think both is good for me,because working hard and smart always be a partner,working hard as well is like working smart too.
anyway without working hard people can not get succesful. so we need working hard and smart too


I don't think so, it depends on what job you have and how you are working with that job, because there are times that we are always working for money but we don't know how money would work for us, that is why we are wasting our time. IF I'm going to use between working smart or working hard, I would choose working smart, and that would be on cryptocurrency, Trading, joining signature campaign and so on.

Because I'm observing every employees that I'm seeing, for example is on the fast food chain, small boutique and so on, I could say that it is tiring and there is no single day that they are not working hard yet their salary is not enough for their everyday needs.

Working hard is a best way to reaching target goal but without working smart you will wasted your time. Being smart is about making smart choices. Its about making the right decision, the right step or the right choice. Smart people move up the ladder real fast.

Working hard or working smart cannot be separated from each other. Even when working hard you have to make smart choices. Work hard in making smart choice and work even harder to learn how to make smart choices. Make mistakes but be smart enough to learn from them.

Obviously, This is only for smart people along with their smart job. So that working smart is really essential at this moment. On the other hand, Working hard always and all the ways brings a lot of success. Without working hard, no one can succeed anywhere.
That's why we have to do our job with the combination of both smartness and hard work. No one can be smart without working hard. So at first, hard work should be started initially and then you will be smart naturally.
For me, working smart is thinking ways on how to work effectively without wasting any of your effort. Working hard is doing your job in the custom way with more effort to exert but success is really possible.

There are also some instances that working smart is not effective if you dont excute it well and working hard also can be failed if it is not well planned so the two should combine to have a successful output.

I think they are just as important as working hard with smart work. Working hard means working long enough and energizing as much as possible, while Working smart is how we work our best with greater results for the same business or similar results with less effort. Hopefully we know the difference between Hard Work vs. Work Smart. But it all depends on the person who responds and responds to the meaning of everything. thank you

or profession. When you do know the ropes and routine of a certain job you can pinpoint and
assimilate how things work and anticipate certain process and situations. If you can avoid all
that stressfull part and perform effortlessly clean, thats smart. Working hard is a classic and
normal habit in the fiels. Once you have enough experience, you’ll be smarter.

I think it is better to work smart because life is all about resourcefulness, on how you finish the task smartly. for example, i saw a picture last week about working hard vs. working smart. a cube should be moved to the other side of the path and the other person pushed it towards the path, the other carved it into sphere so it will be easily pushed. In that way he reduced effort and time on doing the work. With that, you will have more time and energy to do many things.

Hardworking is to enrich your boss. I think this idea is only true when you go to work for others, But if you do business for yourself, I think diligence is essential. About Intelligence, In my opinion, Do whatever you need to have the best analysis of the market, so if you are smart you will analyze the market more accurately, helping you minimize risk. Being smart and hardworking will help you succeed in your job.

Imo chances of success are the highest when you do the job you enjoy the most. Only this way you can devote yourself completely to what you are doing and while others do the job only during working hours you can do it with pleasure even during your days off. Thus you will most likely outplay others in the business and even if that won't happen so soon as you expected, you will not regret anything because you were doing what you enjoy to do.

Working harder is easier in a way, you can work an additional hour and you are already working harder or you can try to increase your output in the same time frame working smarter is a lot harder, but it can give you more profits in the long term, for example if you know how to code you could create a script that does a part of your job that you need to do over and over again this saves you time and effort that you can use for something else.

Both has to applied in a percentage of 70% of smart working and 30% of hard working. Its not always the smart work will help nor hard work both has to be pilled up in order to achieve success. Hard working or smart working has to be chosen by us relying upon the situation and we should never hard work blind which will make you to stay up in the job but never take you to the next position unless you think and act smart.

As far as I can understand about this topic it isn't important only to work hard but to work smartly meaning you plan your work, you work on your job, you deal with it,  you play it well and not you being slave to your work and not attaining something...you know how to strategize your work...till you make it successful.

I started small working for a minimum wage job in the semi-conductor industry. I worked hard by then, often taking over times. While working in that field, I'm am also studying CGI and through the years I developed skills. On my day-offs, I will try to apply to companies in that industry and when I finally got accepted, I filed a resignation notice and then after 15 days, I started working as a CG artist on a small indie company. I learned how to balance leisure and work time so my body is not taxed too much. I know work smartly with my system. Instead of driving a car to work, I will take my bicycle and it does help me exercise and maintain physical fitness. I also do strength training on weekends.

Learn to work smart by balancing work and leisure.

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?



Below I will be posting replies which I consider most relevant, revealing and insightful on the topic discussed.

...

You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future. So I decided to quit my job, put my offline business. Although I still need to wake up early and oversee everything, I did enjoy what I'm doing and the best thing, I'm the boss. LOL. But there's some kind of element in luck as well. I don't know but I felt that I'm just lucky because suddenly I gain financial freedom and then when I discovered bitcoin, it give me another leeway, more funds for me to channel to my business. So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

...

Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

What do you mean by working smarter?

I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.

I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.
I agree partially with you because the combination of both can produce better results when compared working single handidly by hard work or smart work.You can use you intelligence more then your physical activity and you can be successful in your life. Many millioniries have used this secret to become successful in their life.Try it and you will see the extra benefits you get from it.

Well for me as a working abroad. I guess its better if we do it both. Working hard and smart. Because you are not just working hard to earn money you are workng hard and smart to earn more money and be promoted to earn more money. So that if you are working hard and smart your boss will appreciate your job.

Being smart is about making smart choices. Its about making the right decision, the right step or the right choice. Smart people move up the ladder real fast. They also are the ones that have great cars, lot of money, and everything else the rest of us desire.
And what do you think about the collection of both of them? Suppose if a person is smart enough then he can think much better and can plan for a better future but if he is also a hard worker then there is no doubt that he will get all of his dreams with a faster speed. If a person is smart and he is lazy as I saw some people then it is not sure that he will get his goals to be completed in his life early he will get them very late but the smart people who are also hard workers get much of the success in the early age of their life.

Obviously, This is only for smart people along with their smart job. So that working smart is really essential at this moment. On the other hand, Working hard always and all the ways brings a lot of success. Without working hard, no one can succeed anywhere.
That's why we have to do our job with the combination of both smartness and hard work. No one can be smart without working hard. So at first, hard work should be started initially and then you will be smart naturally.
For me, working smart is thinking ways on how to work effectively without wasting any of your effort. Working hard is doing your job in the custom way with more effort to exert but success is really possible.

There are also some instances that working smart is not effective if you dont excute it well and working hard also can be failed if it is not well planned so the two should combine to have a successful output.
I will not fully agree to the definitions but to some extent you are right. Hard work for me is to do anything in which you are not thinking and doing it just according to the way you did it the previous day. Whereas smart work is to think about how you are doing the work and how that work can be done more efficiently in more economic way with lesser efforts involved. It means that the research and development are necessity to go towards the betterment.

Bill Gates says that he'd rather employ a lazy person than an active person. Lazy people supposedly work smart by doing any task provided in the most easy way available.
My say is that there should be a mixture of both along with some external factors that would affect the work for the effectiveness and efficiency of any job to be accomplished.

That would fall to different kinds of people. Like what we all have known, a person is a unique individual. He or she would make himself what we wanted to be based on the influence of many factors in life.
Most of the time, the term "working smart" are introduced be parents who are socially inclined and "working hard" are introduced by mostly by the poor ( not in general; nor being bias ). well, that is for my understanding and my own perception.
A person starts from nothing and would probably think that working hard is the only chance of alleviating poverty. Thus, those who have already capital, would just learn how to make more and not by working under a boss.


Well, if I were to be asked, I would choose both. Regardless of what I could be after college, I will work hard with all my heart and would be smart in handling what I will be earning for my family.

Working hard and working smart are both needed once you are working, why? because in a job you need always a presence of mind in order you can make your job right while working harder to reach the time alotted to finish your job.

Working smart is essentially about improving productivity. Producing more with less resources and less time. And with improved productivity comes improved profits.

So yeah, without the urge to work smart, we'd still be in the stone age, grinding our bones and wearing ourselves out on hard work!

Sorry to say that, but I don't think that making yourself more productive in a quantitative way as in producing more with less counts as working smart.
No, you're actually the one in error as working smart, essentially means producing more with less input. With education and specialized training, people become able to work smarter by adoption and application of tools that increases efficiency and reduces waste of time and materials.

Quote
To me, what you say is pretty much synonymous with working harder. In fact, this is how you make your obnoxious boss more wealthy, by doing more for the same buck on the account that your productivity has risen. Why would you ever want that?
The reason there're differential in wages is because workers are classified according to the quota they contribute on the efficiency table. That is why you can never see a laborer earning more than his manager. With training and experience however, a laborer can also one day, become a manager and his earning would certainly reflect this change.
Quote
Smart work means you get a lot more in terms of money before anything else for essentially the same amount of effort. After all, isn't it what being smart is all about?
When you work smart, you would have reduced the time you put in to produce even much more, so you would be getting more for less.

yes indeed. we need them both in order to work well in a group. but i think the current society right now is verry different from what we expected. I notice that most of them are too lazy in order to work but they were smart at all despite of their laziness. That is why most of them dont really succeed in their life because of their bad habits. i think if they will only use their smartness , for sure they can change their life and also their mindset in order to strive and work more harder.

If we take the case of a man who is purely a smart worker against a man who is purely a hard worker, the winner will be the smart worker most of the time. I am not saying all of the time though. There are times when hard work will defeat all the odds. But that is more of an exception rather than the rule.

In my observation in the real world, there are those who are smart and yet lazy but ended up wearing a coat and tie and sitting on a chair in front of his laptop inside a cool and comfortable office. And then there are those who are very hardworking toiling under the sun all day long but always short in making ends meet.

Take note though that having both is much better and very possible.

I think you should work smart not work hard ,
Just think about this most of the successful person is really working smart opening their business and something like that,
While there are some who are working so hard and still couldn't save enough choosing your line of work is really important .
If you could be smart and work on it ,I think it is more profitable than being a hard worker and satisfied with the regular rate that they are earning ,
Those who  know that they could earn more than being a hard worker in their company would take the risk and do what they could to earn money in much more easier way.

I’d choose working smart than working hard although there is really not much difference between both because when you work smart, do you think your not working hard too? But if you work smart and know your way around then you would not be having problems in your line of work and it’d be so much easier for you too.

working smart versus working hard.

Everyone wants to know how but most just ends up working for the man.

This is cause we have all been trained by our formal education to think in the exact same pattern when we solve problems and our moral sense about things are the same

For example, when we are tasked a job by our bosses, we approach it with the conventional thinking and work on it using the endorsed methods as taught by our schools and probably by the company we work for.

We seldom think hard about our methods and question whether in the first place, could we do this faster? The hard worker will continue and bury his thoughts. The smart worker will experiment with different methods and even though he may fail in his first try, eventually he may stumble on a better method and he will become faster and more recognised for it.

And at the same time, our moral sense also obliged us to work on our jobs on our own and not get outside help. The hard worker was taught to be responsible so he will work hard while the smart worker will outsource and get help to complete his job.. sometimes even just paying a colleague to do it for him.

So do you want to be smart? and can u?


Title: Re: Working smart vs working hard
Post by: akiexx on March 11, 2018, 09:38:01 AM
I choose working smart because it's about making the right decision, smart choices and right step. But working smart doesn't mean not working hard. Because like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates they both work smart but work harder.

Addition: It's like effectiveness vs efficiency. Working hard is like being effective "adequate to accomplish a purpose; producing the intended or expected result." And working smart is being efficient "performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort."

Working hard is doing your work hard, with all your strength something like that. Working smart is doing your work by getting idea, improve your work using your knowledge and wisdom. And I think doing both is the best idea because if you do these to things, you will promote to your job.

For me working smart is the best strategy than working hard because working hard uses to much effort and strength while working smart uses our brain that improve our analytical thinking and develop more ideas that produces successive outcome. And also working hard produce an positive and successive outcome but it uses to much effort. So working smart for me is the best choice.

there is a potential sub-structure of human intelligence that develops by rational thinking, but by thinking and learning by thinking, but laziness is instinctual, you do not need to do anything automatically. intelligent people have problems with sleeping but sleepers sleep nicely .. you need to think a lot about making your work smart.

Working hard is different from working hard. Working smart is the act of using your brain to lighten your work. While working hard is your focusing all your strength in that certain work.
For me if we can relate to bitcoin is working smart and working hard are usable to have a huge income.In terms of working smart it s relation to the trader and investor and working hard is for bounty hunter.

To work hard have over the years been likened to being diligent, dedicated and long suffering, but now all that transmuted instead to working smart.

Hi,

I think you are right.. and wrong.

I think you are right when you say that working harder won't do. That's what your boss wants you to believe, but indeed, I think it is a lie. Just because working hard is never as rewarded as it should be. Because we are living in world in which being young and beautiful is much more important than being smart!

I also think you are wrong when you talk about luck. Because your boss (and those of very large companies) are perfectly aware that they are in such position thanks to their luck. So they tend to close their network, to make golden paths that lead to domination... and are completely unaccessible for anyone out of their private "leading sphere".

Frankly, I don't see where I'm wrong here when I mention luck and that you should not only take it into account as a possibility and be prepared to take advantage of it when it pops up, but in fact act toward increasing your chances of encountering it. If you mean that your boss is somehow depriving you of any chance of meeting luck in your life, I think this is simply impossible because it goes against the nature of luck. In other words, luck is something which is not supposed to happen but which happens, and whatever you or they do to close the doors to it, luck will overcome all the roadblocks in the end because it is in its very nature.

To work smart implis to take decisions on your own, to take risks, to take responsibility.
The majority of people prefer to take commands from a boss that to think by themselves.

So, work smart, if you can!

People who were very successful works not only harder but smarter.  They tend to multiply their effort by designating and studying stuff to their advantage.  Working with hardship alone will never make or  improve you that much.  It can feed you and sustain your needs but without being smart, it will always goes back to where you started.  Smart people works hard and study the situation harder.  They create strategy so that works will be easier the next time and will yield more profit.  So I guess to be successful, this two factor is really needed.

I have my own definition of this, which distinguishes it from both,
- Working hard means working from the thoughts of others or superiors. We just continue or in other words we apply that thought.
- smart work is, something that leads to work is from our own thinking, how we work becomes easier than others. we make work (of course that makes money) and we own that work our way.

Working hard : easy task, need process , earn just enough for life
Working smart : once you understand the way , you can earn more than enough

On working age : 20-29 , it's time to working hard  until you have some good capital to start new business
So on at least on age 30++ , working smart will make your life safer rather to keep working hard !

Well, hard work is very often indispensable, so working smart usually means to find a way to put other people to do do the hard work.
(this is normal: if you are an engineer, you project a building, but you are not the one that put bricks)
Of course, to work smart means to have the skill and the competence

a) to make a project
b) to convince other people to work for you

of course, this is true in practically any field.

You have just stolen words from my mouth. This is why I am strictly against working for others. These companies even the famous international brands and multinational companies do not pay you exactly what you are worth of. You work and they enjoy.

As things are being invented to lessen the work, people have started looking at ways to complete the and get the works done much faster.

In my opinion to attain more positive result you should do both. You need to be smart in order to make your way enjoyable and easier while working harder to achieve your goal.

It depends on what work do you. Working smart is eventually working in your job that needs your mind/knowledge. While working hard is when your physical strenght is needed.

There are mamny people, particularly the owners of business, that want to sell you the idea that working hard is a positive value. And it is, for them. WHile you work hard they take the lions share. Don´t get me wrong, it is good to work hard, but do it for yourself.
You have just stolen words from my mouth. This is why I am strictly against working for others. These companies even the famous international brands and multinational companies do not pay you exactly what you are worth of. You work and they enjoy. This is why now the idea of owning and starting your own business is very much appreciated and admired by the well-educated class. Young people are against seeking jobs.
That's one of the reason why an increasing number of people are currently becoming entrepreneurs and are starting their very own businesses instead of working for someone who might be ungrateful and give you your due in terms of salary.

Bill Gates says that he'd rather employ a lazy person than an active person. Lazy people supposedly work smart by doing any task provided in the most easy way available.
My say is that there should be a mixture of both along with some external factors that would affect the work for the effectiveness and efficiency of any job to be accomplished.


I remember Bill Gates saying that as well.
This is a very well said. If it is only possible to have it all, it is more preferred to really have the two characteristics be applied in our work life. But for the others, it is not that is why we are being asked to choose between the two. For me, Billgates is right. I'd rather choose someone who is smart than a hardworking person. A smart person always have ways to make things happen in an easier way. They are more tactical and strategic.

What is the use of being smart if you are lazy. Being smart is very important in any situation or work. Apply what you know in your work and focus on it. While being hard work is a partner of stategic person and also a being a hard working too.

This is another interesting point which begs to be addressed. People become lazy in two cases: when they are ill or when they are bored by what they are doing or rather by what they are forced to do. It could as well be rephrased in the following way: you are smarter when you do what you like. So, in a sense, it is a virtuous circle of sorts. When you like your job, you will be smart. And the lesson to take home is that if you want to be working smart start looking for something which you truly love and then stick with it.

Working hard is different from working hard. Working smart is the act of using your brain to lighten your work. While working hard is your focusing all your strength in that certain work.

hmm. We all understand the meaning of both, but we also have to place it in the real life sense. If it is all about working hard, then the hard laborers who work all day should be earning the best. Now, working smart is in different categories, while some are smart enough to get themselves good skills to hit a good job that pays well than doing a hard labor, some will prepare that environment for themselves to make other smart ones to come build their dream, so in a way, we are all smart, but at the end some are just smarter.

Also, let us not over emphasize only on being smart alone, because opportunity, luck and hard work also have a part to play in your being smart. One thing I have come to understand in life is that we cannot all have equal opportunity which makes smart people sometimes to still end up being successful on different levels.

Agree to disagree, I think in order to succeed you need both. When people say that when you work hard you are only making your boss richer. Personally, I think there was a time when your boss needed to work hard AND smart in order to build a business. In short, you can't succeed by working hard or smart, you need both. If you have neither of it, you'll probably be exhausted and poor.

Working smart and working hard are have the same value. When people could do anything by working hard they commonly used thier physical capabilities. When people played by thier works and using a lot of strategies, techniques and method they usually a smart working person. They have a time management so that they can do their works as flawless as they want.  But we could not be disable working hard! instead we need to merge this two things to become more effective and efficient in our life.

Many people working hard to get much money, they have lost all their time for their family by working hard in the company and many people leave their family looking for the job and working hard so far from their family, but the other side have the people have smart working by participated at the bitcoin and cryptocurency, and the can have the earning more than the hard work, so which one you choose for your work.

If we are talking about trading, naturally here working smart will be more effective. The best variant is to get the maximum information about the cryptoworld.

Sometimes working hard is not a good thing to do if you did not use your smart techniques specially during trading. Working hard can be useless if when you are in trading that if when you did not have the smart techniques to win the business. But working hard is very important if you are participating in the signatures and social media campaign and specially during translations campaign. But actually can be both needed and very important to consider.

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?


To gain success is certainly not enough with hard work, but we must be able to work smart. But I think smart work more determines one's success.

It depends on what work do you. Working smart is eventually working in your job that needs your mind/knowledge. While working hard is when your physical strenght is needed.
And in some cases, you may actually need the two to keep you going. I agree with you but being smart requires you to also know when you should go with your mind and knowledge and when you should add some extra effort or go physical as the case may be. Also, most of the wealthy people in this world are not that smart, but they are smart enough to recruit the smarter ones to build their dreams. So in one way, we all operate in a different level of working smart.

'Smart work is better than hard work' is not a foreign phrase that even hundreds of times you hear in your life. Why do you think this phrase later matters? Because now is the modern era, where life is short and you feel the time passes when you do little. if you hard work, then what you do is just that and that is often useless. Conversely, if you work smart, you will not only save time to work optimally but also save your energy. When you work smart, you tend to produce brilliant solutions and manage your time very well. For example, if you see your desk in the morning falling apart, and things are not where they should be, you're just wasting time getting things done. Lastly, working smarter is better than working hard because it can nurture your relationship with others. As you work hard, you tend to drown in your work and often ignore the people around you. Unlike it if you choose to work smart, you do a lot of things in a short time. As a result, you can have much of time to get along with other people.

If only smart in my opinion is less appropriate to me because it is a package between smart and hard work is like a car without fuel so the most important is not energy but our minds need ideas and ideas is smart work and we do. True and diligent without complaining of hard work so this should be one in order to be successful.

Its very hard to find the difference between the two, but for me I'll go both. I guess working hard and working smart will always be a partner. Working hard without using your intelligent is useless, we work hard for us to succeed that's why it is important that we should be smart on the strategies and techniques for us to be able reach what we aim in life. True that working hard will make our boss richer, we need also to be smart to look for a way that our lives also improves out from the salary that we got from our employer by thinking some ways on how to make our money grow out from our ideas and ability.
Both woking hard and smart play an essential role in doing anything. As far as we know that there is no easy way for us to get succesful, therefore if you want to be successful, you definitely pass through lots of difficulties and it consists of working hard and working smarter. It depends much on you, whether you want to get rich ,how you aspire to become in the future. In general, you have to identify what you need, that will help you do your job efficiently. Sometimes, I think that working hard and smarter don’t bring you to get successful, You have to be more patience in analyzing what you got wrong and then finding the reason why you got failed.

You must find the best work accessible to you. In some cases there isn't other option than working hard, at least during a temporary period of time, until you save enough money to start working smart, being your own boss.

In the end, working smart is much better than working hard, because you will have confort without killing yourself each new day, stressed with so much things to do and goals to hit. You will have more time for yourself and to develop your hobbies, your personal plans and your imagination. But to achieve this status, it's also needed management skills. There are a lot of people earning decent wages, but that have more children/expenses they are afford to sustain.

It becomes a snowball, and no smart, hard work will be able to keep this life's model sustainable...

Being smart can save you alot of time but some jobs require hard working and require more energy.
If you are going to start from scratch and have no money to invest, being smart won't help alot, you need to work hard, after that things will be easier and you will need to use your brain to run your business.

OP You may forget that you can't become smart if you won't work hars but this hard work must be of your developing.
Your example is like person works harder in work to sell more products (for example) and make boss rich.
What's smart work for you? It's even question: Why do I have to work for others while I can to make them work for me and make me rich.
That's smart work I guess. But also remember that during your life, you have to work hard for others too in order to change yourself from hard worker to smart worker.

Working hard will always be the ways brings a lot of success in our job. Of course, i agree that "working hard will only make your boss richer" but it also bring us many experience, relationship in the life which is very necessary to us able to start build a own company.
But working hard is not enough to success, we need to working smarter. So how to working smarter, my opinion working smarter is:
- Always research us job before starting.
- Plan ahead
- Make us job is easier by the way create a tool that will eliminate as many of the repetitive tasks as possible.
- Manage time and manage money.

We need to working smart and working hard. You must have a smart brain before you start work and you need a strong body to work hard. To avoid stress think positive always all the thing you have to face because being positive will help you to work in your job.

Actually i agree that both type of working are really help to gain maximum income.
We will get less if we apply only one of them.
But for me i would prefer to work smart because i can gain much income without doing some hard work.
Relax and enjoy the job and get maximum income.

Sure, to-do lists make us more productive, so does grouping the tasks into batches and prioritizing them,” but that does not mean you will get them done to completion in the time frame you allotted or that whatever you are batching won’t end up taking over your day. The more you time yourself, and gain more self-awareness into how long a particular type of task takes you, the more time you will be able to actually identify and re-purpose in your schedule.

Big points buddy. It seems you teach in the school regarding personality development. Actually it is part of development of one personality. Everyone have uniqueness, strength, and weaknesses that we always deal in every moment in our life if it will struck us. So, working smart and working hard is not contradicting to each other but partners in every environment and time in one's life and it is inside the decision.

For me they are the very most important for the road to success and yes you're right these two should come along together. If you want to be successful in the long run you have to put long hours into work, start early before all other people and stay up late while others are enjoying already. However you have to be smart as well while working so hard inorder to achieve your goal, you have to stay curious and don't stop learning.

You are 100% right. I completely agree that people should work smart everytime. Life is unfair and there is no way to refute that, that's why we all need to find a strategy or if not a loophole in the system to make our place in life a notch higher. One must use brains and adapt depending on the environment and factors around him or her. Sometimes even those with fewer resources came up to rise as they know how to play their cards and not just take life as a shotgun shot. Work smart and play hard and no drama, that's what I follow in work.

I prefer to working smart rather than working hard. For example, as a bounty hunter, we have to research the project before joining their campaign. It's a smart move. Because I see a lot of hunters applied all campaign as much as possible without analyzing the project. It will be wasting their time if the project turns into a scam.

Working smartly is the key to be successful in life these days. You should know when and where you should put your efforts.

There is nothing hard here in earning Bitcoin or any coin and it is purely smart work which will yield you profit or ways to earn I believe. Hard work alone will not help you if you do without a smart work. After all a little bit of luck also need to favor your work together.

Working hard means working deligently and dedicatedly, you have to put long hours into work, start early, and stay up late  while working smart is working faster and more efficiently. To achieve a work-life balance, work smarter not harder, gain self awareness about your work style and you can find ways to work smarter.

I think if we can use working smart, we can work with effective and we can use the other time to do another task. not all work needs to work hard but if we can do work smart then I think it is better to for our jobs especially if in our jobs need some requirements to finish the jobs.

So in short your are chosing both work hard and working smart. working hard is totay different from working smart because in working hard you only work as much as possible, you dont need to be smart in order to work hard all you need is time and work force. while working smart on ther hand requires a lot of mind force or critical thinking in order to do the task properly. in my case im on the working hard side because i need much job or sideline job as many as possible in order to sustain my families needs everyday.

My opinion about it are
Working Smart, requires:
- Science / Skill as a supporting work
- Good thought analysis
- Can quickly draw conclusions
- Anti mainstream, you see an opportunity that is not seen by many people

Working Hard, usually:
- Persistence
- Discipline, usually always have a routine work agenda
- Main Stream, taking generally a chance by many people

I prefer to work smart, it is more professional, so the job that he takes in accordance with his capabilities and will have more time to do other things. As for the results of success all need a process and of course everyone will get it.

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?



Below I will be posting replies which I consider most relevant, revealing and insightful on the topic discussed.

...

You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future. So I decided to quit my job, put my offline business. Although I still need to wake up early and oversee everything, I did enjoy what I'm doing and the best thing, I'm the boss. LOL. But there's some kind of element in luck as well. I don't know but I felt that I'm just lucky because suddenly I gain financial freedom and then when I discovered bitcoin, it give me another leeway, more funds for me to channel to my business. So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

...

Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

What do you mean by working smarter?

I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.

I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.

I also think you are wrong when you talk about luck. Because your boss (and those of very large companies) are perfectly aware that they are in such position thanks to their luck. So they tend to close their network, to make golden paths that lead to domination... and are completely unaccessible for anyone out of their private "leading sphere".

Frankly, I don't see where I'm wrong here when I mention luck and that you should not only take it into account as a possibility and be prepared to take advantage of it when it pops up, but in fact act toward increasing your chances of encountering it. If you mean that your boss is somehow depriving you of any chance of meeting luck in your life, I think this is simply impossible because it goes against the nature of luck. In other words, luck is something which is not supposed to happen but still happens, and whatever you or they do to close the doors to it, luck will overcome all the roadblocks in the end because it is in its very nature.
You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future.

Because now is the modern age, where life is short and you feel time passes when you do little, when you work smart, you tend to produce brilliant solutions and manage your time very well. As a result, you can have plenty of time to get along with other people.
A healthy mind will produce a good job. If you want to work efficiently without forcing yourself too hard, you have to start learning smart work.

When someone says we just need to work smart, without having to work hard, I do not agree. But, I agree with smart work. The truth in my opinion is, we need hard work and also smart work. If we just work smart, we will be defeated by others who work smart and hard work as well

There are different types people some will work hard and some will work on the smart way but it depends on their mentality. Some people will work for more than 12 hrs but they won't make much money but some will work for only 3 to 4 hrs but they will make more money.

Working smart. Most of the time I am the one choosing the job I do. Depends on the rate and asking if I can finish the task in a small time frame instead of 8 hours. Where I can convert those extra time to do other things and convert it to extra income. Generation today is much better compare to old generation. Its much better when you combine work smart and working hard as well. A much better income is generated.

In order to work smarter you need to acquire knowledge, experience and skills. And often it turns out that all this comes when you do not need big money. It all depends on the abilities of a person - sometimes it's better to just work.

Therefore smart is not enough to be a successful and wealthy person. There are factors of continence, perseverance, and consistency. I agree if you say working hard as an office employee will only enrich the person above. But if you have your own business, you will need both, because the challenge you will face will be greater. So working smart and working hard is still a better combination.

This two behavior has a big difference, because most of us think that if you want to become successful, you need to work hard, but for me working hard is not enough, you need also to have strategic thinking in order to have a clearer way and to be more progressive, working hard and smart is the best behavior ever, but the best part on this is you are learning through your own mistakes.

I won't completely consent to the definitions yet to some degree you are correct. Diligent work for me is to do anything in which you are not considering and doing it simply as per the way you did it the earlier day. While brilliant work is to consider how you are getting along the function and how that function should be possible all the more productively in more monetary path with lesser endeavors included. It implies that the innovative work are need to go towards the improvement.

Many people working hard to get much money, they have lost all their time for their family by working hard in the company and many people leave their family looking for the job and working hard so far from their family, but the other side have the people have smart working by participated at the bitcoin and cryptocurency, and the can have the earning more than the hard work, so which one you choose for your work.

If we are talking about trading, naturally here working smart will be more effective. The best variant is to get the maximum information about the cryptoworld.
But I believe in a combo of both. One component alone can’t survive for long time where such huge competitions are present. Just see the local market how amazingly so many people are contributing towards something and by competing someone succeeded to grab maximum of money. Same is in the case of bitcoins trading, you have to be smart but hard worker too for better results.

Being smart is about making smart choices. Its about making the right decision, the right step or the right choice. Smart people move up the ladder real fast. They also are the ones that have great cars, lot of money, and everything else the rest of us desire.

And what does it tell us? Yes, it is all about making right choices and taking right steps just like turning up in the right place at the right time. We all know that. But this is theory, although I, and I think many others as well, would like to learn and hear more about practical steps with an appropriate level of abstraction and generalization so that they would be applicable to anyone. In other words, what you should do in practice that would count more toward working smart and less toward working hard. One approach I gave in OP, that is stick to places where your luck potential is at its highest.

I consider this thread a sort of practical guide toward working smarter.

Working hard is different from working hard. Working smart is the act of using your brain to lighten your work. While working hard is your focusing all your strength in that certain work.

Well what's the difference though if those both workers are same income or profit? , For me it's better to working smart to have strategy , but I think it's the same though you will need to exert an maximum effort on the job you're taking, to have a better income, so I think there is no difference on this two.

For me, I will choose working smart. Yes, many people thought that working hard it the key to a successful life yes they might right. But working smartly is the primary to way to becoming much successful and effective. But if indeed want to become a successful or wealthy person you most do both sides. In the nature of achieving your goals in life, you must work hard and work smartly to overcome the challenges that you will encounter. You must think intelligently to make it easy and work harder enough to attain it.   :)

I usually do less work and tend to get works done. Bit lazy. I believe in both hard work and smart work. Both go half and half. Current generation expects to do smart work and yes they do work smart. As things are being invented to lessen the work, people have started looking at ways to complete the and get the works done much faster. Smart worker are really welcomed now a days than the hard worker if you look around.
We are in the smart age, so I do not expect people to not end up smart. They both go hand in hand as far as I am concerned anyway, you may be smart and lazy, but does that mean you being smart will take you anywhere ? On the other hand, you may not be smart and hardworking, but that can still take you somewhere.

Hence imagine, combining the two together, then that is where most people end up getting successful coupled with luck on their side. For instance, I may be smart, come up with brilliant ideas, but too lazy to push it out and think the world will just do it for me.

In my opinion, placement in a verb hard does not mean that our perspective should continue to work. Because in terms of working smart I do not think there will be achievements in terms of fulfillment of a success without being supported by the idea of ​​working hard. It's just that people always assume that smart work is an activity that is done without energy and drain our energy. But basically if there is no mindset about how to work as hard as we can, we will not get a target that can be achieved.

In my opinion ,working smart would be beneficial to us,being hard working is not enough because theres a boss who always command and get mad when you do things not right.I am an employed person and sooner or later when I have more capital ,I want to put business and quit my job because of the management sometimes in the company did not treat their employee well.

well i think u need them both if only working hard only your boss will happy and if you only working smart but no hard working you cant achieved anything and if using both theres no doubt you can achieve what is your aiming for.

I agree that you will need both. Earning money in this world is easy once you have a good network of contacts and good capital, but at the beginning it's a nightmare.

Once we reach a certain point we can move towards passive income and work less, when we have a great amount of capital, and spend more time with family, travel and things like that. It all depends on what you want to do. If we worked hard and smart enough in some years we won't need to work anymore, you will then decide if you want to work for fun or do something else.

I know that the idea of working for fun sounds like crazy for a lot of people, but if you like what you do, then it's not so crazy.

No, it doesn't sound like crazy. Actually, you came up with an idea of a passive income, which I haven't yet seen coming up in this thread, well, not in the part that I was able to push through yet. If anything, working smart can be defined as an activity directed towards building more sources of passive income. That's an interesting idea anyway. It seems like this is the ultimate goal of working smart, that is doing more with less until you don't need to do anything in the end. And if you are a smart guy, you won't stop there, so I emphatically agree with your attitude and point of view.

No matter which work you do, if you keep on using your brain wisely while working that task, you will be able to finish that work not only in lesser time but also using lesser efforts. I think of working smartly to be much better option than that of working hard as you can get your job done without much efforts. Working hard is also a good thing to do but you need to do the work smartly and efficiently.

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?



Below I will be posting replies which I consider most relevant, revealing and insightful on the topic discussed.



...

You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future. So I decided to quit my job, put my offline business. Although I still need to wake up early and oversee everything, I did enjoy what I'm doing and the best thing, I'm the boss. LOL. But there's some kind of element in luck as well. I don't know but I felt that I'm just lucky because suddenly I gain financial freedom and then when I discovered bitcoin, it give me another leeway, more funds for me to channel to my business. So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

...

Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

What do you mean by working smarter?

I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.

I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.

I also think you are wrong when you talk about luck. Because your boss (and those of very large companies) are perfectly aware that they are in such position thanks to their luck. So they tend to close their network, to make golden paths that lead to domination... and are completely unaccessible for anyone out of their private "leading sphere".

Frankly, I don't see where I'm wrong here when I mention luck and that you should not only take it into account as a possibility and be prepared to take advantage of it when it pops up, but in fact act toward increasing your chances of encountering it. If you mean that your boss is somehow depriving you of any chance of meeting luck in your life, I think this is simply impossible because it goes against the nature of luck. In other words, luck is something which is not supposed to happen but still happens, and whatever you or they do to close the doors to it, luck will overcome all the roadblocks in the end because it is in its very nature.

I agree that you will need both. Earning money in this world is easy once you have a good network of contacts and good capital, but at the beginning it's a nightmare.

It seems like this is the ultimate goal of working smart, that is doing more with less until you don't need to do anything in the end. And if you are a smart guy, you won't stop there, so I emphatically agree with your attitude and point of view.
I used to be the type of guy that will usually work hard all day ever since I got out of school, but by the end of the day I will either end up achieving less or nothing at all. Till one day, I was browsing through the net and came across a quote that says DO NOT WORK HARD, WORK WITH INTELLIGENCE. From then I stopped working hard, I stopped stressing out myself and stopped staying up late at nights. I started making use of my senses, I started being smart, and now I’m achieving a higher rate of success. This is just the beginning, I still have a long way to go.

That's very technical question between the TWO Choices Because "working smart" is accompanied by working hard like for example let say you are very smart in school that's because of your effort which is "study work hard" right" that's why you become a smart person. then  the one is "working hard" that's also doesn't  fulfilled your dreams if you do not use your initiative being a smart person.

form me that's an equal guide to become success in life.

For me I want to work smart because we can be successful even we not work hard literally. We use our strategy and techniques to finish our work. Sometimes working hard benefits other people not ourselves so it is better to work smart.
The world where we living right now demands smart working and smart people than hard working but dumb people. We are living in a fast moving and changing world where companies demand maximum input from you and they choose those candidates who are using minimum resources and giving maximum output. For this you have no other choice than working smartly than working all day and night.


Title: Re: Working smart vs working hard
Post by: Hell-raiser on March 16, 2018, 02:27:59 PM
The idea that you should work smarter, not only harder isn't anything new. When talking about the difference between smart and hard work it's pretty simple to explain what working hard means. if you want to be successful in the long run, you have to put long hours to work. you have to start early, before all other people, and you have to stay up late, when everyone else is already enjoying their afternoons and evenings. on the other hand, it's really hard to find very clear guidelines on what working smart really means and how it's different from hard work. it's very obvious that even if you're determined that nobody will outwork you, you still have maximum reach pretty fast. and there's always someone who's willing to sleep less than you. On top of that, many people work hard, but only a few become really successful. that's because smart work is what makes the difference.

So what is smart work or working smart in simple terms?

-80/20 rule. We should know when to stop, 80% is often perfectly acceptable.

Could you expand more on this? What do you mean by 80% being perfectly acceptable oftentimes? I don't think that having your work done only at 80% is a good idea, so you obviously mean something else.

Work means the combination of act and motion of persons. While differentiate working smart to working hard is something that's confusing. But in my own understanding about this is..  Working smart is one traits of person where in he/she using much more their brain or mind to do something, while working hard is capability of person that much more using of strength body to perform with full force. Each of this two are the right combination to have by any persons to reach their goal and success in the near future.

This is of course a very broad or even rude distinction. Working smart and working hard may both relate to brainwork only. To better understand this point, read the OP where I gave an example which matches a smart vs bumb brainwork as in choosing a sorting algorithm for arranging elements in a list.

So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

I think you can see those type of similarities in any "evolutionary-like" system that promotes winners and unfortunately makes it tougher for losers.  Capitalism tends to favor and reward people who work hard, but you have to at least acknowledge that certain people have a substantial head start in life compared to others, which makes it almost impossible for others (off spring of 'loser' families) to do anything but "work hard" and are simply too tired to find clever ways to "work smart" instead.

That's why you see trends over family generations of people staying in the same socio-economic class.  Rich people tend to stay rich and vice-versa... sure.  But there is also those rare outliers of people who work their way up in life by figuring out that balance of getting lucky while rigorously working in a much more smarter way.

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.

Yeah, that's the point I want to emphasize massively and which I wholeheartedly agree with. Maybe, it is the first thing you should do before you start off on a working smart journey, I mean, correctly assess you abilities and whether you are actually as smart as you think you are as well as finding your smart spots and sticking around them. That idea should be definitely added to the piggy bank of ideas making your life easier and wealthier.

We need to working smart and working hard. You must have a smart brain before you start work and you need a strong body to work hard. To avoid stress think positive always all the thing you have to face because being positive will help you to work in your job.
Theres no need to choose between the two working hard and smart really make sense inorder to gain profit and to achieve what our target would be.We have different ways on reaching our goal of success and being apart on this bitcoin forum is the best of our luck.We work hard to earn money,and cryptoworld has already brought it into our own home its for us on how to handle it but one thing for sure is we own our time and we are the one who control our savings,not the bank nor the government.We also need to be smart inorder not to get scammed.Although there were instances that we will become a victim of scammers and that is what we will be aware of.

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?



Below I will be posting replies which I consider most relevant, revealing and insightful on the topic discussed.



...

You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future. So I decided to quit my job, put my offline business. Although I still need to wake up early and oversee everything, I did enjoy what I'm doing and the best thing, I'm the boss. LOL. But there's some kind of element in luck as well. I don't know but I felt that I'm just lucky because suddenly I gain financial freedom and then when I discovered bitcoin, it give me another leeway, more funds for me to channel to my business. So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

...

Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

What do you mean by working smarter?

I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.

I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.

I also think you are wrong when you talk about luck. Because your boss (and those of very large companies) are perfectly aware that they are in such position thanks to their luck. So they tend to close their network, to make golden paths that lead to domination... and are completely unaccessible for anyone out of their private "leading sphere".

Frankly, I don't see where I'm wrong here when I mention luck and that you should not only take it into account as a possibility and be prepared to take advantage of it when it pops up, but in fact act toward increasing your chances of encountering it. If you mean that your boss is somehow depriving you of any chance of meeting luck in your life, I think this is simply impossible because it goes against the nature of luck. In other words, luck is something which is not supposed to happen but still happens, and whatever you or they do to close the doors to it, luck will overcome all the roadblocks in the end because it is in its very nature.

I agree that you will need both. Earning money in this world is easy once you have a good network of contacts and good capital, but at the beginning it's a nightmare.

Once we reach a certain point we can move towards passive income and work less, when we have a great amount of capital, and spend more time with family, travel and things like that. It all depends on what you want to do. If we worked hard and smart enough in some years we won't need to work anymore, you will then decide if you want to work for fun or do something else.

I know that the idea of working for fun sounds like crazy for a lot of people, but if you like what you do, then it's not so crazy.

No, it doesn't sound like crazy. Actually, you came up with an idea of a passive income, which I haven't yet seen coming up in this thread, well, not in the part that I was able to push through yet. If anything, working smart can be defined as an activity directed towards building more sources of passive income. That's an interesting idea anyway. It seems like this is the ultimate goal of working smart, that is doing more with less until you don't need to do anything in the end. And if you are a smart guy, you won't stop there, so I emphatically agree with your attitude and point of view.

A lot of people overestimate their importance.

Yeah, that's the point I want to emphasize massively and which I wholeheartedly agree with.

We cannot always say that working hard would bring us to success instead we should still consider being smart as a necessary factor for the assurance of your success. Not eveyone who works hard gets what they want, being smart is much needed here since the complexity of bitcoin is improving as time passes by. Combining being smart and working would definitely make sure that you will gain more profit.

Working smart simply means using more of your knowledge and wisdom in a stylish and quick way(a mind work) to create opportunities either for yourself or for a particular course. Working harder is more of using physical energy or working continuously and tirelessly in order to achieve something (man power). It becomes a sad story when hard work doesn't always necessarily end up with success. To be qualify as a smart work, it should be successful.

I would say that both are necessary for every human along with their Luck. I personally have undergone both smart work and hard work experiences under my career training programs. Here to be successful in life you need to be both a Hard worker and smart worker. My smart work made a good trader and while hardworking made me a good son and husband. In the struggling days of your life your hard work and smart work both should be put into play rather than being a lazy guy.

A good topic to draw too many to share. But is it going to help this forum. May or may not be. Still many would share the achievement behind hard work and smart work. Experts do say, both are required to have firm success. I have gained appreciation and awards back for working consistently extending timings to complete a task where smart work takes 30 percent. So both goes hand in hand to success.

Working hard will only make our bosses become richer, because money works for them, but some smart people work just to earn some money, I've heard the words of successful people,
"stupid people find it difficult to get a job, but he opened his own business when fools managed to recruit smart people"
So if concluded smart people study hard to get a job, but fools try as hard as possible so that his business can be successful then he recruits smart people to work on his business.

this is not new story but I can say again and again working smart is the best!
Well, that is always the best in every sense, and I also believe we need to have all this set of people in our society. One thing I have always learned is if you do not want to build other people's dream, you have to build yours, and you do not end up with being hard working alone, you also end up being smart with your hard work. A lot of us always feel it is only by being smart, sure working smart rocks, but you have to inhibit some extra effort and that is where hard work comes in.

Work effectively, that's what we really need, if we do trade, watch the market carefully, research its progress same with joining in bounties, make sure your in the right company that will pay you in your work.

The truth is that everyone cannot think the same way. If we are all working smart, who is going to end up working hard? It is a way the world has been fashioned and as much as working smart is good, working hard is also good, but it all depends on the level at which we all operate.

Also, everything in life is all about luck and some have gone down the road of working smart with luck not shining on them. We have to consider that just a few of those smart ones are extremely rich now, while some did not even ask for it, so sometimes, i feel luck and opportunity also come to play like someone rightly said.

Agree to disagree, I think in order to succeed you need both. When people say that when you work hard you are only making your boss richer. Personally, I think there was a time when your boss needed to work hard AND smart in order to build a business. In short, you can't succeed by working hard or smart, you need both. If you have neither of it, you'll probably be exhausted and poor.
Bless you man. Sometimes, I feel we over hype the idea of working smart, but the truth is that one way or the other, you really need both of these attributes to be able to acquire something for yourself. You can work hard and not smart or work smart and not hard, so with that you end up being limited in a way, but combining the two can take you places. You think trying to pursue a project for years is not working hard and being smart to build your dream? So, I totally agree with you bro.

To succeed in whatever endeavor working hard is a must. Being patient and willing to learn while working definitely brings somebody to success. Success does not rise in one blink of the eyes. It is a long time journey of perseverance.

The point was good, chances are better if you are in the area where things do happen. If you wanted to be a pilot and you go to an automotive shop? Your cars don't fly? It ain't related except the maneuvering thing yet the two are so different. So I wanted to go to a place where snow will happen and you did go to the deserts of Africa. Well then again the point of doing is wrong. Yet working smart without making much an effort to let your boss knows you are the right person to choose also lessens the chances of getting hired on the position you would want. So I think being smart paired with working hard is a good quality which should not be broken down or separated from each other.
