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?
You need to be same being smart and you need hard work. In this earth that two is important because as of now is hard to earn money so need to be smart and hard work will be follow. Being smart,hard working and being strategic are all people need to be successful in life.

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.

For me both are needed, working hard and working smartly because if you don't have those capabilities you cannot do your job well. It is our way to be succesful in our assign task.

You have to be smart to figure out how to work smart. And many smart people do try to put themselves in optimal situations.

It is very important to act smart in modern times. I see a lot of my friends just doing their boring jobs and being exploited by their company. Many of them are quite talented and can really earn huge money by starting pout their own ventures. But it is hard for them to think out of box and take risks. I was also stuck with a job that paid pennies. I worked on my communication skills, applied in a reputed company and was hired for 5 times the salary.

We often hear from older people, "study hard so that you can have a good future".In this sense, it is applicable to say that in studying,you should work hard in order to be smart. In some cases, the other one can be applied but also in some cases,there are instances that both are applied. I believe every successful person now that came from rags to riches are hard working, they cannot be rich if they are not hard working so being smart is not enough. Working smart is like doing things in much efficient way,where you can save time to do something more important, effiency is a key word here. Working smart also inclues opportunity seeking, they grab every opportunity so that they can be richer.My opinion is it is a combination of the two in order to achieve success. One does not simply work hard without even thinking smart.

Working smart is applying the simplest ways to earn huge income while doing it in a less effort like you just only working for 3-5 hours but the return is 10x compared to working very hard but the salary is not big enough to the services that you rendered, but I think you need to combine these two to make your life easier work hard in a smart way.

It doesn't come down just to earning huge income while getting there with less effort. Rather, as I come to think of it, working smart can be conceptualized as achieving some desired outcome doing nothing altogether in the limit, likely even as an off-target effect of a series of other off-target effects. On the other hand, working hard is the opposite of working smart (which is kinda obvious, huh), and in the limit means doing everything and still getting nothing. To me, this is where lies the great divide between working smart versus working hard.

In the beginning you will have to work hard only to arrange some money. Thereafter, it is time to act smart by making that money work for you.
I would like to draw here the comparison between these tow related to the market. Working hard is like reading every move of the market on hourly basis and checking the graph and the worth on hourly basis with the predictions and working smart means that you can rely on the work of other financial groups who are more professional than you and then you can make the decisions on that, so whatever you choose make sure that it is accurate and good for your business.

All I can say for now is that I learned a lot of things because of this topic and your story is such a great inspiration for me since I am a kind of person that I always doubted my skills, my talent and my ability. I am really inspired with what you've shared in order to gain success work hard is not enough rather smart work is more important while we are achieving our dreams and success.
For sure it is very important to be very smart using bitcoin, if you will work hard only and not have proper plan for it then it will be useless, so you are right it is very important to be smart as well. Invest at the time of fallen price and try to hold it very long which will give you profit, earning in bitcoin is very easy but you will have to wait and let bitcoin price get high so a wise and smart mind person must know all these things and they can make very high profit from bitcoin, and will never suffer lose.

Working smart is more on using the brain and less utilizing the body because this is the conditioning of our mental toughness to make us more sucessful.

For me , working smart is better, here is an example:

A boss has 2 worker, Tommy the hardworking guy and Alfred the smart worker, the boss ask Tommy and Alfred to look for a nice restaurant in the neighborhood. Without hesitation, Tommy instantly comply and roam around the city, hours later he returns and told his boss he has found a fancy resto 2 bocks away from their office, the boss told Tommy, go and ask if we can reserve a table, the guy quickly rush to the resto and ask if there is an available table for his boss and heads back to the office to report to his boss, the boss says, very good you are such good and hardworking staff.

Then came Alfred, hey boss,  there is a cheaper resto down the alley, i quickly browse the internet and search for the resto Tommy had told you and read a lot of bad ratings and comments from the customers, so ive search other resto and found this cheap resto, they have a high ratings and a promo if we reserved early this morning you will get a free bottle of champaign. So i reserved a table for you sir to avail the promo.

Good job Alfred.

Even the two guy did a good job, we can say Alfred outwitted Tommy,

in university I have seen so many people reading all the stuff written in the books by spending lots of time and hard working but some werr reading only the necessary parts which were giving cruical info and was linking with others by resulting in lower time and greater efficiency.

I think what you say makes another "crucial" point in helping you understand the difference between working smart and working hard. I am always shocked at what we are taught in schools and even at universities or colleges. Most of the stuff taught there is sheer nonsense, and you have to sift tons of trash to find a few pearls of wisdom and things that actually work in real life. Add to the cocktail the ingredient that most people don't even care about working smart in the first place and you will see the current status quo in the business.

I spent most of my life looking back at the time I felt I wasted in formal education, though in my latter stages of life I came to appreciate the soft skills that teachers had and stopped blaming them, since they were just tools of a flawed system... it was great being young and able to compete with a lot of more educated people, even lent me airs of certain arrogance. But if anything, it did teach me the value of working hard. I found it funny also that some teachers encouraged "smart working"... telling you what worked for them, thinking that it'd also help us in life. Again, not blaming them but experience sometimes is necessary. You do need to make mistakes to learn from them. Wisdom is something gained with age (and prerequisite mistakes). And for that, I will say that wisdom isn't a big commodity in crypto yet. A lot of people who think they've stumbled on the smarts by being involved with crypto yet lacking the wisdom to see that a lot of their good fortune... is fortune, not knowledge, not smarts, not skill.
These are two different things, and both have a great impact on how we view life. Both aims for common good and goal but differ in quality result. One can be very hardworking but it has one way of doing the job and  does the job without intention  about the result, while working smart aims for always having end result in view, adds value, and has many ways to do the job done. In a cryptoland where uncertainties and fears have taken over, let us work smartly not only for the team but for ourselves.After all, it's not how hard you work but by how much it gets done.

Working smart leads you in creating innovative ideas that probably will help you develop your skills and ability. And it will motivate you to work harder because you have goals and dreams.It shows that working hard is not enough but you must also work smarter and you will achieve what you are aiming for. And thanks to this thread I was able to read everyone's thoughts to this matter.
As we all know, time is the most precious commodity you have when building your own business. However, if you’re working hard and grinding away at your business day after day, there’s a good chance you’ll burn out. You must first know the difference between working hard vs. working smart. An example, Working hard is working with the 80% of the people in your organization that produce 20% of the results while working smart is working with the 20% of the people who are bringing you 80% of the results. Working hard is reaching out to people one by one through Facebook while working smart is creating one Facebook ad that will reach thousands of people.

Working hard isn't that bad since you are dedicated to your work. You are giving so much effort in every task that is given to you but working smart is better than working hard. You may not exerting so much effort but you are giving the best idea to make that business or work, better. You are sharing a unique but effective idea in your business and also you may apply it in yourself. And honestly, if you are an HR, you will pick the person who are smarter, maybe they can't be industrious as hardworkers but they can think a best way to make that work easier and thats what conpany and business wants.

I would also say that working hard will only make you tired. To be exact we have to be smart in our work to be able to maximize the full potential of each of our talents. Yes, mostly if we work hard we did not get rich but it's our boss who will benefit on it.
