I do strongly believe in working smart to working hard. Here in my country, a lot doing the 8-5 office work have been doing the working hard. And I see a lot not doing office work earning quite much more than the office workers. Even making a comparison of site labourers and office workers too is another example of working hard and working smart. Now that we have machines available, it is important that works are done smartly and save time and optimize efficiency.
Yeah its sad but true. is it creative work the same as smart work? sometimes I feel sad with someone who work in office from morning till night only earn a small income? whereas artists who work creatively on a television generate enormous money in a short time? or smart work by utilizing their skills to make big profits like designers, photographers, and so on

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.
I understand what you mean but look at it from a different angle. For example, you think that sometimes you have to work hard, and probably you should, yet you are not working smart because you are not smart enough for this kind of work and not because it is impossible per se. As I said earlier, the ultimate working-smart approach, a Holy Grail of working smart of sorts, consists in achieving what you want by doing nothing, and still better by doing something else.
Working smarter, not harder, is an age-old adage. If you master the concept, your entire working life will be easy to practice the smart. Therefore ahe simple techniques that you can employ to save steps and tedium from almost any. But like harwork is motivational and inspiration from creators, achievers, entrepreneurs, authors, heroes, and others who provide inspiration and example among the people practice about how to hard faster.
I think I will go for both working hard and working smart because are both applicable in man daily lives but it the area where you make use of it that matters.There fore, ones need the require instinct, skill and knowledge in other to use it right.
Yes, we need to find situations like where we need to work hard and where we need to work smarter. The situation will be demanding this. But, it is very much necessary for anyone to know on different types of hard-working. All hard working does not need our physical efforts but our mental work also could be classified as smart work. This is a sequel to this thread. If you are interested only in the fat of the thread and the cream of the theme, look no further than this and the second post here.
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?

We can merely quantify of a working hard, as a matter of exerting effort to your work or a dedication towards work just to meet your goal. while working smart is sometimes it's a matter of a good decision that resulting a good outcome. Like for example in a basketball game, if you pass the ball to an open teammate and he got the basket then you're working smart on particular situation but if you work hard to the basket which playing one on one and also got a score so it's a working hard.
Working smart and working hard is a different way, working smart for me is better than to those who work hard. Those who work hard can just earn but don't earn knowledge and strategies, those who work in a smart way can earn money and at the same time, knowledge and strategies.
I of course prefer being smart than any other options. Working smart + working hard wins though but we are only to pick one here. Smart people always find ways for an easier route with the same results or maybe even better or slightly behind but compared to the effort then it is worth it.

Your method of work is really great. I would choose to work smarter than working hard. But if I want to make more money than I have to work hard. That means working selectively and focusing on that choice. I have read the 80/20 Rulebook and learned how to do the best job for me.

Working hard will not always be a guarantee to make you rich because you will only make your boss richer. But it's different when you work hard for a business that you, yourself is the boss. I guess hardwork pays off if you own the business yourself and the effort you've made for that business is well worth it, when your the one to gain it all. Also working smarter is just doing hard task simple and faster. Therefore both is useful when working on something.
Working hard means working 8 hours a.day just to have your salary at the end of the month no goals to achieve just work hard for the promotion unlike working smart you have your own strategy on how to manage your time and effort and also the ways on how to earn more and to make your business more successful to attain your goal in life.
Both working smartly and work hard is good to have. We all know that bitcoin is more on investment and doing job, so it is important to work smartly because you need to have quality post to achieve it you should have the knowledge and be wise in your decision.

Working hard and working smart must be together and for me i would rather select working smart because in my experience working smartly means working with confidence you love what you are doing and thinking of the possibilities to become more successful in life you don't depend on what the managers want you to do because it's the only task given to you, you have the decision and tactics on how your business lead to success that's what smart worker can do.
Since, from my experience, I never know where those right places are, I think the best approach is to try to do at least something rather than thinking of a strategy over and over again. Of course I agree that working smart is better than working hard, but to be smart you have to get some experience first, so I think it's better while you are young to concentrate on working hard, and then after some years of hard working it will be easier for you find a way to work smart.
I agree with this, it will be a lot harder to figure out how to work smarter if you do not have any experience trying to work harder, as they say the necessity is the mother of all invention, how are you going to create a way to do something in a more efficient manner if you do not have hands on experience in your field of work? This is why working hard goes hand in hand with working smarter, only after having years of experience doing something you will get insight about the ways to improve the process and tools of your trade. I do strongly believe in working smart to working hard. Here in my country, a lot doing the 8-5 office work have been doing the working hard. And I see a lot not doing office work earning quite much more than the office workers.

It is the demand of the fast moving market and the world that things should be done in a smart way utilizing minimum energy and time. Those days are gone when people were paid for the hard work they had done, now people are appraised based on their smartness and innovations. Those who work hard, it is not like they stop working hard. Work hard but in a smart way. This can make impossible even possible. These two are both important and having these two will lead you to a successful life.
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.

Yeah, you're right, it is just your opinion. And your choice at the end of the day, after all. Though I don't know how working hard will lead you to working smart. Personally, I see no causal arrow pointing in that direction. In my opinion, working hard will only lead you to exhaustion and burnout. Anyway, there are quite a few people working hard like rats on a running wheel, and they are essentially where they started at, living paycheck-to-paycheck. Ironically, the only advantage they are able to obtain via working hard through years is being eligible to take out a loan in a bank. And then work even harder to pay it back.
everybody has their own advantages we can not consider it the same, there are smart coding there are smart math, there are smart robotics, there are ordinary ordinary but have good body strength, for example in sports, many athletes are rich with strength body just like boxing and bodybuilding, I myself a little smart in math and analysis then I choose to be a credit analyst
Yeah, everyone is born with their own pros and cons and there is no one who has the perfection as an asset or a trait. As far as working smart is concerned, it is the demand of present world where everything happens in the matter of seconds and you don’t have often enough time to handle situations. For that, you need to smart and quick. Hard working teaches you smartness as well. 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.
This is a tough question, the answer to which we can't know in advance in many if not most cases. If you ask me, in hindsight I often come to understand that I spent many hours, days, and even weeks doing useless stuff that didn't pay back or didn't pay back as much as I had first expected and hoped for. It makes an interesting case to the effect that it didn't matter how smart or how hard I worked since it was all mainly in vain. So before starting off on a working smart journey, make sure first that you are on the right road.

Practically,working smart is the right thing to do,yes we all wanted to succeed in life but i think we must be smart enough to achieve it.Its right that we have to stick around places where we get higher chances to succeed and get out from our comfort zone.Just like my experience,i am working too hard and be the best employee a company could ever had,for 13 long years i don't see such changes.Salary was not enough most especially now that im already married with my kids.Inorder to sustain their need ,I need to borrow money from anyone i know with interest.I need to prioritize their needs than mine,but now that i knew bitcoin i wanted to be out of my comfort zone and try another alternative ways to earn as an additional income.As when i able to earn i will probably invest my money outside crypto inorder to have other alternative source of income.
