    Work is important to do as it takes us to the next level of success. The most important question you should ask at this place is what kind of work will take you to that level: is it hard work or smart work.

    I often hear people distinguish between the two, and it's worrying to me that working 'smart' and 'hard' might be perceived as mutually exclusive. I don't think I've heard somebody who came from little describe their experience in this way.

    Does your work involve whoring out for Dehli on a forum full of people who don't give a fuck?

    The older I get, the more important smart work becomes.

    This. Ive only heard unsuccessful people tell me to work smarter not harder. I would think it be best practice to maximize ability by working hard and smart.

    It sounds like something a baby boomer father would their children. Is your work actually getting you closer to your goal?

    I always liked the phrase "Work smarter, not harder".

    I'm paraphrasing my nigga Rockefeller here "It's better to think about your money for a day than to work for it for a month". I agree, though. Pimpin ain't easy.

    Reads a bit like a nuttier version Russell's In Praise of Idleness, which is something I've probably spammed here a couple of times but I think is a really common sense, simple essay on something that's surprisingly controversial.

    I make up for my lack of working smartly with hard work

    Ha, good comparison.

    I don't, however, agree on stuff from In Praise of Idleness being common sense. The idea and writing is simple, yes, but how many people think about it or act on it? I know of just a handful.

    I think this idea is stupid. Usually people who tell me to "work smart" are the ones who are my co-workers at minimum wage jobs. They wonder why they never get the position that pays 25 cents more and they won't shut up about it. The fact is, they're lazy and don't want to work. Which is fine. But if you want to get anywhere in life, you have to work hard. I'm lazy, but when I work, I work hard. I work my ass off. I don't care if I'm working harder than my paygrade- to me it's a thing of principal. Being a hard worker is a desirable trait, it's honorable, it feels good at the end of the day to kick your feet up, pop open a beer and relax after working hard.

    My last job I worked at a fucking grocery store. When I quit, they called me back twice offering me a better position. I quit for numerous reasons, none of them very respectable to be honest but I did work really fucking hard there even though I only worked there for a few months. The only thing I had to show for it was more hours than my co-workers (I was getting usually 35 hours a week where my coworkers were fighting for 25). I could have become manager at that place if I kept it up but a grocery store is no future and it's really not worth putting in years just so you can tell other people to do the same shit you used to do.

    Work hard AND work smart. Working smart doesn't mean working lazy. It means showing initiative, moving ahead. Getting your work done without having to be micromanaged. Doing things without being asked. Doing things right.
