work harder or smarter?
I work in an innovation design agency. And today our boss gave us that motivational speech about expecting everyone to: - show up (be reliable) - work hard (obviously) - and listen (even if it seems to you that the other person won't say anything intelligent, you must admit the idea that she/he knows something that you don't know). And I really like that thought, that you can not to be the best designer, or a worker, or a student somewhere, but you just have to follow these three things and you're going to be great.
But, my colleague made a note, that by a "hard worker" she imagines totally exhausted person with 10 cups of coffee, and that we should use a phrase "work smart" instead.
Everyone agreed, including the boss, but I'm still thinking about it. As Elon Musk said, work 120 hours a week, and in 4 months you will achieve what other people do in a year, and I agree with that. Why not work smart and hard at the same time?
