“Don’t work hard, work smart!”
“Smart work is more important than hard work”
Every person gets this message from his superior, colleague, friend, teacher. The idea is to kill inefficiency, do things in a quicker and effective way, add intelligence to tasks, avoid silly errors etc. Noble intentions and nice management jargon! But is it real?
However, I think hard work leads to smart work. Hard work is essential pre-requisite to smart work. Only when a person gets his / her hands dirty and spends time on understanding the entire process cycle, he will get identify the bottlenecks and add intelligent ideas to make life simpler.
As they say, no elevators to success.
