Is smart work really for everyone?

[Chilwell]

Yes smart work is for everybody but that is when you ready to bring out your skills and ideas towards people and ready to make sacrifices because there's failure along the journey,  based on my observation those are things smart work needs for you to succeed.

Everybody is talented and smart but it depends on how we use it, because a lot of people are very intelligent but they are nobody enough to bring themselves out from their comfort zone, that is why we cannot be able to identify them. Some people think that smart work is something heavy that cannot be lifted by hand, not knowing that it is just the function of your brain which majority do not to make use it.

Even the smarter people take risk to survive, human being are equal but it's determines on how we use our opportunities that is why you see some people having an opportunity to change their life, but due to their low thinking they could not be able to identify how to make it possible.

[abaeze]

Most times work is not said to be done by over hardworking but it depends on the kind of strategies you're using to enable you reach your target, without strategies you might find things difficult for yourself even if you don't have the full idea perhaps with the little knowledge you have and also being consistent. Thou they're works that requires effort before you can get through it, especially if you're still a newbie you will have to work very hard to rank up, both is necessary smart and hardworking.

Smart work and hard work are not opposites of each other, but consistent work with the right strategy increases the chances of getting good results. Everyone considers working in the sun and sweating as hard work, but using the brain for a long time to create new strategies or plans or discovering something new in the laboratory is not considered hard work.To me, both are equally hard work.There is no need to choose one between smart work and hard work because both are important for success.

The right strategy helps us to make the best use of our time and effort and hard work helps to implement that strategy. However, hard work alone doesn't guarantee success if we move in the wrong direction. Similarly, even with a good strategy the desired results can't be achieved without consistent efforts. So these two things complement each other. Especially for beginners learning, learning from mistakes and working consistently is very important. So for me, the most effective method for success in any work [be it investing in Bitcoin or building our own career] is a combination of the right strategy, consistency and necessary effort.

We are all familiar with the phrase or statement "WORK SMART NOT HARD" but the fact is that this isn't going to work for eveyone. If you are someone that's trying to build wealth from ground zero or from scratch you need to work hard because you are building from nothing. A lot of wealthy people only talk about working smart because they are speaking from their point of view, the ones that built from the bottom worked hard and when they finally got to that point where they want to be they sustain it by working smart. A lot of people are not making progress because they are applying smart work when they are supposed to be working hard. what's your opinion on this?

One of the reasons why not everyone can work smart is that not everyone is equally talented and not everyone analyzes the same way. Still, most people think that if they work hard, they will be successful and that is why instead of working smart, they consider hard work as the key to success. It is proven that those who work smart can be successful faster than others. However, people are slowly starting to adapt to technology. After the next five years, the old generation will almost be over, at that time everyone will try to do all kinds of work smartly and at that time the smarter one will be able to do it better, which is still applicable. The old generation always considered hard work as the key to success, but the new generation focuses more on smart work.

There is more to this like working hard smartly which is a combination of working smart and still putting in a lot of effort. It's smart work that gives you the direction to work hard and finding your way to reduce workload on yourself while increasing productivity is the final phase of working smart.

I think working smart comes from a continuous pattern of hard work where the worker finds an alternative means to still do that particular work but in a more efficient and effective way to get the same or better outcome.

A man moulds 100 blocks in a day with his hands for a while then thinks of a way to increase production, the next option will be to buy a mixer or a moulder that would do the work for him with increased daily production.

Something making something from scratch can do so in two ways:

Either the smart way or the dumb way. And there is always a smart way, just depends on the person to find it.

A lot of people have not learned how to think. And all they do is memorize and practice until they develop a talent. Everyone can be smart. It is all a matter about learning how to aim and shoot instead of simply shooting until you hit something.

And the person who does the same work but smarter will have a much easier life.

They can possibly make everything more easier, if they know how to work smart on each task they do. But also its good to understand the principles of each action to get much better result.

If they rely on repetitive actions, then just normal memorization. I think they won't get any improvement with that.

Also trying to be smart at work, is not all about they try to find way to make their job more easier. But also they should try to learn, even on the mistakes they made, so they can improve and became more efficient in their work.

Of course, sometimes some people misunderstand smart work as if it is different from those who work hard when in this case hard work is always the initial foundation as for its workmanship, it makes a difference when a worker who wants to be more efficient in his work they must think to find alternatives so that his work is completed but on the one hand efficiency becomes the basic strength they do, so that smart work appears.

Do those who work smart not work hard? that is certainly a wrong perspective and some people are sometimes always fooled into thinking that hard workers are those who always work hard and exhausting like workers on the road, buildings and more but it is clearly a mistake because it does not mean those who work in front of computers are smart and those who work on the streets or as porters and factory workers are hard workers.

In short, not everyone can become successful. It is not simply a matter of working hard or being smart. Economics professors may be more knowledgeable about theory, but they are not as sharp as those operating in the real world.

Wealthy people do not do the work themselves; instead, they hire intelligent people.

You are correct there is no how everyone can be successful, we will still have the wealthy people, the rich, the average and the poor, i have seen who work hard and are also smart but they are not successful. The most important thing is for people to do the right thing at the right time, think smart and work your way out, everything about life is strategy and how you want things to be for you.
Becoming successful also requires the ability to make good use of any opportunities, make strategic decisions and take calculated risks.

[Wahidcroposs]

In the modern world, hard work alone is not enough to achieve progress; it must be combined with intelligence. If you possess sufficient resources, you can reach your goals by working intelligently. By applying intelligence, you can make the best use of your time and attain your objectives. Hard work and intelligence are inextricably linked. Hard work  will be easy when it done by smartly.

Whether someone wants to start building their wealth from zero or has already become wealthy, they should work smart, and that is the best way and it can work for anyone. But what is important is that if someone wants to build wealth from the ground up, they need to work both hard and smart, and that is the only way they can build wealth more easily.Only working hard may take a lot of time before someone can build wealth, and that may also require some luck. When someone is working smart, it means doing the kind of work that would normally take a long time to complete,will be complete within a shorter period. It also means doing things differently from others and finding easier ways to achieve results. That is how some people are able to accumulate wealth.If people could become rich only through working hard, many people would have become very wealthy by now.

Even does building from the bottom still have to apply the same rule of working smart, not really hard. Hard work pays but it doesn't make you wealthy but it will put food on your table and also help you pay certain bills. But if you plan to build wealth or become comfortably rich, then you need to use your brain to work smart. Take a person who decides to go around an estate by sharing flyers giving house car wash service, and when he is giving the contract by 50 different houses in the estate, to come around every morning to wash. Now he needs to employ like 10- 15 guys who are willing to work hard and earn a little amount of money just to survive the day, then the guy who source for the job does his bargain of the amount he will be paid by the clients and then agree with the guys he employed to do the hard work on how much he will pay each person. That's working smart, because his only job is to monitor and make sure the cars are washed.

You are very right there is no way everyone in the world can be successful, I think the circle of life would not agree to that, there is a most to have always have the poor, the rich and the middle classes, we have all seen who work hard and are also smart but they are not even successful and that how life is, people say life is unfair but to be honest life is really unfair.

The best way to treat life is just for people to do the right thing at the right time, think smart and work your way out, everything about life is strategy and how you want things to be for you.

It is not possible for everyone to be successful or to reach the goal of becoming wealthy. The dynamics of the economy do not support such an outcome. As you noted, working hard or being intelligent does not guarantee success. This demonstrates that, within an economic framework, it is simply not feasible for everyone to be rich or successful.

However, none of this should be taken as a reason to stop working hard or pursuing one’s goals. To achieve their objectives, an individual must continue to develop themselves, work diligently, and keep moving forward.

Blind hard work will not be of any use, hard work is definitely needed to achieve success in life, but when this hard work is not directed in the right direction, then by working in the wrong direction, you will never get the right value of your hard work. So everything does not depend only on hard work, along with hard work, intelligence is also needed a lot. Opportunities do not come all the time and not all opportunities are for you, you have to do what is right for you, and you have to use intelligence to find out the right opportunity for you. Do not use every opportunity, but rather use the appropriate opportunity through research and try to utilize it to the fullest. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages and these have to be considered in advance, and then you have to take risks according to your ability, achieving success is not easy.

I think both is needed to build wealth a lot of people work very hard each day but couldn't build wealth because they weren't smart enough being smart plus working hard should be applied. Even when we look at the society today those who happens to be smart becomes the richest come to think of it people lack basic information and they think working hard morning to night will build wealth . work smart, work hard and right information is better

[STT]

Very relevant to the modern age where many can attend University but not all should or gain from doing so.
  There is a good argument for doing the trade that comes to hand most easily to match your talents and smart as we might see it being paper and pen alot of the time wont beat a fine trade done by those who can work hard and perform excellent work; they will prosper in most economies better imo.
  Its not said often enough so OP raises a good point imo.  It still relies on people being street smart, earn then use the money wisely.

You are right it is something that all the successful and prosperous people should apply. Maybe we're in the same boat as we too are trying to make more money and become successful.In the journey of wealth creation, experience is a valuable asset and wisdom is invaluable, for it tells us what is coming our way.However, it is impossible to become wealthy and successful on just one path; people who become wealthy usually do so by combining intelligence with hard work, persistence, skill, experience, and good fortune.Without such factors, it is hard to get rich.

You’re right, everyone cannot attain the same level of wealth, but when it comes to achieving certain personal goals, i believe it is posible for people to do that. There are some situations where you will need to apply only hard work to achieve a particular goal, there are also some situations that require only smart work too. But I believe hard work is the foundation to achieve big things especially for someone at his lowest. A person starting out a business or something bringing income will have to put in years of hard work to build and for it to become fruitful. It is after he has built it with hard work, he will apply smart work to sustain it. So basically, If folks are able to understand the different approach and how/ when to use them, then majority of their challenges will be solved while achieving goals.

To do and understand any work, experience is required. Any work done without experience cannot benefit you and your capital can also be in loss. That is why it is said that the work is shared with the same. Smart work does not mean that everyone can earn money easily. For example, a person who is a tailor and leaves his work and opens a mobile repairing shop in the pursuit of profit, which he does not even know about, how will he get profit in such a situation? That is why we should not do the work that we do not know about and we should find our job in the work that we know about and earn money.

You have to work consistently to achieve that goal with a clear idea of ​​your goal, not only hard work always brings success, but also understand when, where and how to utilize your time, money and skills. If hard work alone was the most important ingredient of winning success, then the workers would have achieved success first, and therefore hard work does not mean just physical labor. Mental labor is required, you have to research using your skills, intelligence, in this way you have to find the right place, and in that right place you have to do everything with physical labor, and in this way you have to achieve success. Also, it is not enough to depend on just one thing, but you have to focus on different aspects, create more sources of income, success does not come overnight, it comes through patience, continuous efforts and a lot of hardship.
