Hard to Smart Work !
There is a beautiful quote by American Author Byron Dorgan. It is quoted like this “ Working hard and working smart sometimes can be two different things ”. Do you think these are completely two different things?
One of my teachers once said, "We have to work hard in our life. But that doesn’t mean that we have to work hard throughout our life to become successful. We have to start our career by doing hard work. We have to do hard work for two to three years and then do smart work’.
What is this smart work? How do I know what smart work I have to do to become successful? These are the questions that rushed into my mind when I heard this. Do you have these questions?
Ok let me try to explain smart work in a simple way which I understood. In the early ages we were not having mobile phones or not even landlines. People used to write letters to their relatives. It is the only medium of communication. The letters used to take more days to reach the other person's home. But today that is not the case. We all have smartphones with us. We can reach the other person even if he is in another continent in one click away. We can even video call and see them face to face. It is smart work. We are not still wasting our valuable time writing letters and waiting for it to reach the other end. Smart work is nothing other than ‘more work in less time with reduced effort’. That is what we all wish for, isn’t it.
I will tell you a small story. Once there was a girl named Veena. She started her career as a web engineer in an IT firm in the Gulf. After about five years of hard work in the gulf she moved back to her hometown Kerala. She wanted to do some smart work and become successful. She started 3D Bricks which is a firm that creates 3-D architectural visualization. I am not talking about anyone else other than the CEO of 3D Bricks “Veena Gil”.
Smart work and hard work are two different things. But when you combine them you can achieve whatever you want. Be a smart worker. Make your teachers who asked you to do smart work feel proud of your achievements. All the best. Keep moving. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a smart day.
