Hard work and smart work.

 HARD WORK IS SMART WORK IN OVERALL.

It is not uncommon to hear the phrase "you have to work smart and not hard". The truth is, these saying is mostly uttered without giving indepth thought to what it actually translates to. One must truly work smart, but it is impossible to know how to work smart if you have not first worked hard enough to understand how to execute the work in a smart way.

Some people work hard all their life, giving no thoughts whatsoever to alternative means of carrying out their daily routine in an easier, faster, and more effective way. They become so comfortable with the routine that the introduction of an alternative would seem to them as draining the water in which they swim as fish.

Hard work is the prerequisite to smart work, every day you get on your job is an opportunity to learn how to do it better. People who have gone on to invent machines and equipment used today in manufacturing and production are people who sought to do their work better, easier, and faster than they always did, they wanted more of what they had in shorter time, and even better; they were not comfortable with going round in cycles of daily routine all in the name of hardwork.

To be able to work smart, you must work hard enough to understand how to work smart. Challenge yourself to build on your smart skills, and critical examination of your roles and responsibilities. You must make little improvement everyday on yourself that will reflect on the effectiveness and efficiency of your execution. "Work hard, and you will earn good rewards. Work smart, and you will earn great rewards. Work hard and work smart, and you will earn extraordinary rewards." Matshona Dhliwayo.
