"You can't work smart, if you haven't learnt how to do the work by working hard."
George Emetuche.
Success is the reward of hard work, but sustained and progressive success is the reward of smart work. No one can ever succeed in any endeavour in life, without first working hard, learn the tricks, acquire relevant skills, and get knowledge on the working of things in his chosen endeavour before he can know how to work smart. A success that hasn't gone through this process would either have been gotten through magic, or some other dubious means, and can not be sustained.
The distance between two floors in a storey building is being bridged by a staircase, which contains steps (stairs), to get to the upper floor, you must climb the steps one at a time, and if you will skip a step, you must put in more work (exert more pressure, and strength). Such is the journey to success, you must pass through the process to achieve success, and then employ the experience of the process to create sustainable, and progressive success.
When travelling on a road you haven't journeyed through before, you will be careful how you move on that road, because, it is a strange road to you, you would not care how long it takes you to get to your destination, all you are focused on, is getting to your destination safely. After passing through that road several times over, you become more confident travelling through it, you know where to avoid potholes, you would also have discovered ways to manoeuvre easily. At this time you will arrive at your destination in shorter time, not necessarily because you are moving at a high speed, but because you are now familiar with the road. This is similar to the journey of success, you become wiser, and smarter after series of long hard work.
There are no shortcuts, and fast lane on the journey to success, you must go through the long hard route, or else your success will be short lived and unsustainable.
The only way to work smart, is to have worked hard.
