Topic: Working smart vs working hard - an ultimate guide - page 21. (Read 1990 times)

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.

I think it's important to work both smart and hard if you want to really succeed. If you work smart, you'll finish the job for the day faster and have more free time. But imagine if you also took that time to do more smart work. You'd be able to achieve much more. This of course applies to people having their own business and wanting to grow it. If you're working for someone else, you'll want to work smart not hard. When you work hard, I found that you lose the bigger picture. That is very bad if you're working on your own business. So I found a solution where you would take breaks of half an hour to an hour, where you'd just chill and not focus too hard on anything, while still having the project on your mind. I think this allows the brain to connect the pieces better and often I'll realize something in that almost daydreaming state, that I couldn't realize during focused work.

Now another challenge is if you really, objectively have too much on your plate that you have to work hard and long. In that case you should learn how to delegate. But that's easier said than done, because when you delegate a task, that's only the beginning. Because when that someone finishes the task, you'll have to look over the results to make sure that is good. And oftentimes it won't be. So you'll be left with two options - either fix it yourself, or return it to be fixed, which opens another opportunity for the result to not be what you wanted. If you succeed to balance this delegation mechanism, you are on a clear path to working smart and winning.

PS If you need some motivation to work hard for what you want, check out Gary Vaynerchuk on youtube

Earlier people said that hardwork is needed to succeed in life.But nowadays that quote has changed a little and now it's said that smart work is needed for better success.

There is a story in which it is said that two persons were cutting a tree.The person who took rest at frequent intervals seemed to finish the work much quicker than the other who continuously worked without any rest.The reason was the person who took frequent rests used such intervals to sharpen the edge of his axle which made his work much easier and quicker.

Any work without smartness will not yield good results.

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

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.

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.

Work with interest, this combination really have charm within it. It is often said, “If you do what you love to do, you will get what you love to have”. Same is the case with bitcoins.

If someone have interest in market and business orientation, he must be going with this field throughout the life. Believe me, such people get more profits in return because they have shown extra concern and interest in their input.

In order to work smart you need first work hard. We cant realize what is smart unless we first work hard. There is a lot of elements in working smart. Sometimes it is luck and we all know that you need to deserve your luck. Maybe the only way to deserve it is working hard.

I can confirm that. It turns out that at times (but not always, obviously) when you are not busy in hard toil or some tiring task, you may feel remorse and guilt for not sticking to that work hard thing. But at the end of the day, it may happen that you didn't actually waste your time but did the right thing which would handsomely pay you back in the future. It is like staying away from trading completely for some time while letting your profits grow.

I am very happy to see that we are beginning to challenge these ideas that we should be working harder and longer. Because quantity does not at all equal quality. And in fact many creative processes cannot be subjected to the rigour of specific number of Work hours, etc. I am slowly trying to accept and understand that also, although I find it difficult and sense a certain guilt when I don't conform to the Work hard/long motto

Doing your work improves your productivity faster. Work hard to help you achieve your goals in the plan with the most accurate time. Intelligence and persistence are two essential elements for you to get the job done quickly and efficiently but often the person doing the work usually has only one of these two virtues. So in order to achieve more success in the future, you should improve your thinking and practice more perseverance.

You need both in order to succeed here in bitcoin industry. One example of working smart is when you buy a coin when the price drop and sell it when it rise up again, another thing is how you manage your time and money carefully. While on the other hand, working hard is when you do your work maybe on trading that you must learn first the history of the coin you would want to buy and examine the movement of it in the market. But if I were to choose only one I would pick the working smart attitude because you'll lose absolutely nothing if you play smart.

So your opinion is all about the smart work and nothing else. I think in little different way but I dot really say that my opinion is all about the hard work doing. I believe in change lot, I think we must change according to the situation that we are into. For example, when there is extreme need of doing hard work like you have to complete few tasks for which the protocol is ready and you dont have to worry about thinking process then thats the point where you just do hard work to finish. The outcome would be perfect one because for this outcome the process was already well thought. However when you have to make decision about something really important and outcome lies in proper guid then you have to be smart while working on it. SO change accordingly is the best way.

It’s hard to be on what is best for one,, we’re into such status to work hard and work smart.. But we failed,, why not being the two person in one.. Why not be a better persona in a simple and one sided individuality.. A case of what is best when all that matters is a chance to prove something beyond what you think you are..

Do what I makes you think that suits you because standards are normal, but reality is a continuous learning.. No boundaries..

It's not compulsory to work hard  for the success in your life.You can work smarter.It's a past dialogues.Now a days,only the smart guys succeed in life and business.Even if you are working in the full time job,you need work smarter to get higher position.

It was a great read, Hell-raiser. I have never been a hard worker, truthfully I'm super lazy but very conscious of my duties. So I always had to find some way/options to complete my job in easy/quickest way, so that I can sleep rest of the day. Let me give a small example. When I was at school, I often offered 1-2 chocolates/Icecream to my daughter for doing my written homework. I know that wasn't good, but since I was a little kid, it can be a smart move. And now, I always find efficient ways to done works.
At this point, I want to remind you what Bill Gates said, “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”

Yeah you got it right and that is why we should be paying attention to the smart work in our life. Smart work should be such that we dont make our family disappointed neither we make our work balance go worst. Everything should work hand in hand and thus we wont end up doing one thing lot more than needed. This is the right approach to do it. Yes, we all know that hard work matters a lot but it has to be with some limits and we should not overdo it so that we will go away from our families. After all they are the one for whom we are creating all the wealth and better living. 

There is a Chinese proverb "What is the use of running fast when we are not in the right road" Thus, if we do hard work for a thing which is not exactly the correct way to achieve success doesn't benefit anyone, smart work on what to do and when to do on which way is more beneficial for success. Hope more smart work and a bit hard work reap success.

First of all, I perfectly see your point and I think that many people follow it in their daily life. It is definitely a better approach than squandering money on useless things like fancy clothes and restaurant dinners or just on a lavish lifestyle, let alone on things which are plain detrimental to your health and well-being like drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll. However, you should be aware of the age-old wisdom about some people are penny wise and pound foolish. You may still be saving for a better life while essentially wasting it. Is it really worth it? This is the question which you should ask yourself.

Investing in Bitcoin is one of the finest examples of Smart Work. People who recognized the opportunity at early stages and invested in Bitcoin had made a huge profits till now.
In this era of digitalization, Hard work does not really pay well. Even phone are smart now, so we also need to be smart now.
