Many people say that you should work hard if you want to succeed in life and rise to riches. I'd rather say that working hard will only make your boss richer, not yourself. On the other hand, there is an age-old adage which says that you should be working smarter, not harder. But working smarter is a vague idea, and I'm interested to hear what people have to say on this topic. As far as I'm concerned, I think that working smart comes down to creating environment where you will have more chances to meet Lady Luck smiling at you, where you will be able to hit a lucky strike because luck plays an ever-important role in our lives. For example, if you want to find a date to have a romantic relationship with or you are looking for a one-night stand only, you will go to a beach or a bar since your chances are higher there, right? The same approach seems to be applicable to work as well. In other words, stick around the places where your chances of success are the highest.
So share your opinions here, guys. What is your practical take on working smart?
I definitely agree with your ideas and thoughts but for me if you work hard you are also working smarter.... Why because you know that if you work hardly it will not only help you to earn more but also it will help you to learn more.... For me it is not a big problem if you work hard but in return you recieved low salary the point is.... What you work will not be wasted because it will really boost your knowledge and probably it will keep you to develop more... Unlike you are working only because you just only want to become rich.... That's impossible.... Working smart is really good but work fairly also.... Dont ever think that for you to earn a lots you will make something even it is illegal just only to earn.... If you want to succeed work smarter and as well as work harder....
