Does working
Smartly or Hard matter?
Work, by
itself is a complexly definable term. But, the basic understanding is “What we
do”, is understood to be work.
How does
it pay off? And BTW, what does it pay off with?
The
Answer to the latter is binary. Success or Failure. And how it pays off is the
derivative of Success or failure! The culmination of hard work and smart work
alone, will give Success. I’m denying that handwork is solely responsible for success.
Post the
CBSE/State Board 12th Examination Results, when the State topper is
interviewed, he or she (mostly, “she” these days) proudly says only this, (Apart
from the thanking school, parents bla bla part) “It was the effect of my hard
work, and finally it paid”.
No,
certainly not.
“Hard
work is only a speck of dust in the ocean of Success” There is also, the lion’s
share of Smart Work. However hard you work and try to study something, finally
only if you find intuitive ways to remember them in the exam hall, will it be
fruitful.
Hard
Work can be put by any Tom, Dick or Harry. But, smart work comes only by giving
constant tuning to the grey matter! When it’s rusty, then it’s wasted.
Starting
from a Wood-cutter to a CEO of a successful firm, the smartest way to approach
things, shall only save time and provide easy success. “Success cannot be achieved
easily” is archaic. The approach to deal with situations and handle them with a
clear mindset shall only get you to success.
So, the
primary step before you fix your goal, is simple. Do the analysis of what it
takes to find the smart path (in some cases shortest, some efficient) and then
decide your “hard”work metrics.
IF SOMETHING
CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH SMART WORK, “LESS THAN SOMETHING” IS POSSIBLE WITH SHEER HARD WORK.
We, live
in a world where TIME passes and we don’t (even in examinations). So, to keep
up with the pace. And to reach your desired place. Smart work with tingling
amounts of Hard Work is needed.
Make
your choice, do your work…! “Smartly”
