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....

I prefer working smart , why ? Working hard is really okay but working smart is much better , its like going to a certain place without knowing the different ways, a hard worker will continue to walk while a smart worker will look for the shortest way, at the end of the day they got the same goal.  But it will be much better if you work hard and be smart , succeeding in life means a lot of effort you cannot always look for an alternative so you should always work hard

our hard work must also have an intelligence in concluding something, and make a decision. everyone needs both. And if my experience works hard it also requires smart work

I will be basing my opinion on my experienced. As I am working really hard this past year but realized that I havent even saved a lot. So just yesterday i filled an immediate resignation. Now I am trying to go back the life i made on bitcoin industry because actually I am gaining more before in here than my job salary.

So for me working smart is about taking chances and risk. But most of us are just too afraid to fail. Thats the reason why they remain silent and continue doing there boring job

success was started from luck
lucky = talent + opportunity, accompanied by hard work
hard work with talent and opportunities will turn into more smart work

For me to make our lives more efficient we have to combine working smart at the same time working hard. Those two factors are the ones we needed to have a successful growth in our career at the same time in managing our own investments. So it should be combination of two.

I think the definition of working smart is not about allocating more time to doing a job. Working smart is an effort to balance the whole line of life so that it will bring a positive impact on productivity.

The problem with the working hard vs. working smart  is that all too often we frame the choice as one in which we can only choose "hard" or "smart." The question we should be asking is, why aren't we doing both?

I choose working smart. Working hard is like you tried very but still not good and end up nothing. Your always tired and not enjoyed your work. You must work smart it is a less tired, more enjoyable work and healthier mind and body.

If you want to be successful in the long run,you have to put long hours into work that's for working hard means.But many people work hard,but only few become really successful that's because smart work is what makes the difference. Most people who are working smart didn't learn it.They do it intuitively,it's part of their career.

work smart, which I've proven by working more than one project with different jobs and being able on time and professionally, but the addition of my personal work smart when someone is able to create jobs with a more humane system of existing employment, as well can work by way of making goods that later can be patented as the work of the person,
and from that it was all the first and the last I had done and it was so beautiful
spirit of friends and success always

What I do is ask older people for their advice and try to understand their insight and try to apply to my own life. I try to balance both usually.

My idea is to learn more. Fr instance in the work you're doing now, learn the underpinnings. Ask yourself, what makes your boss your boss? Is it ideas? Then ask how he came about it. Seek every avenue to learn. Most people work because they want more money. They're committed to something only if it will bring more money. They don't think about building their capacities.
If we will learn to acquire knowledge and know how to use it properly rather than being too anxious for money, then we're working smart.
I am a living example of this.

Working smart can save time rather than working hard. Because it's more time saving if you work smart you can able to determine whether it is time to invest or not.

Yed that's true but didnt we all know that without consistent action it will never worked, these two were both essential for us to grow and for our development. Working smart is about how good and effective the business plan was but working hard is making the ideas into life and we should both know how to value these things so we can reach the expected outcomes.

for me to work hard and work smart is a positive thing and in the end both will receive income as well. I think the hard work that we often do first if we already understand the work then our mindset will lead to intelligent work.

Between working hard and working smart; I will tell you that working smart is the best and it really pays. But most people don't know about this or don't believe in that ideology. They believe working day and night, leaving the office at late hour after everyone is gone is the way wealth. All that is just nothing but stress activators. When you do things the smart way; you stay healthy to enjoy the fruit of your labor but if the other way, the person might die even before the wealth start coming in.

Working hard is when you are doing a certain job in a company, putting so much effort, time, hard work and others. Yet, receiving just enough and not so high pay off supported by a statement saying "No one's ever get rich by working from 9am to 5pm". I would choose working smart and it is much better if you  work smart with Bitcoin.

Working smart is way more effective than working hard. If you work hard without thinking on what could be the easiest way to accomplish something, possibly you won't gain, you're just working hard and making yourself tired of your job. But if we work smarter than that, well, you have that light feeling, relax, joy, you gain knowledge and that can possibly brings you up to the highest rank.

Indeed mate, working smart can make us more doing little work with maximal result. Working smart need strategy and plan to accomplish something but the result more bigger than working hard.
