Comparing "Hardwork" to "Smartwork"

Hard work or Smart work?

Some people will say hard work yields the best results.

But then, i look at those labourers cultivating farms for other people in order to earn a little living

Or those bricklayers in our villages that would work under the sun all day long, only to earn 2000 naira (About $4)

Or maybe those children hawking day and night, come rain and come sun, with very little sales at the end of each day.

Then I ask myself, are these guys not working hard enough?

Infact their work is a lot harder than 90% of rich people. But why aren't they getting the best results at the end?

Also some people will say "work smart not hard"

But again, when I look at those who claims to be working smart, all I can see is just some lazy idiots making up excuses for their laziness,

They are people who are highly deceitful, i.e those set of people with more than just two faces, changes more than a chameleon.

They have a mouth sweeter than candies, believing their words are capable of giving you diabetes.

These are the kind of people who take fraud or ponzi schemes as a profession.

So this brings me to the thought of, how then is someone supposed to work?

Smart or Hard? Or maybe both?

I then realized something,

That "working smart" isn't really a thing, it is only there for lazy people who are looking for excuses to stay in bed all day, watching movies or eating like pigs.

Working hard can't also go alone, else you will be working like an elephant and eating like an ant.

The real and vital thing is this:

Making a smart decision
And working hard

Make a smart decision either on the career you wish to go into, or on a temporary work you wish to do, let's say a side hustle.

Once you make a smart decision, your next step should be working hard towards achieving your goal, with that smart decision you made.

Let me explain further, I know a lot of money making gurus must have told you that Bill Gates is working smart ,

That Elon Musk is working smart, that Jeff Bezos is working smart and that trading forex or crypto is working smart or maybe doing work online is working smart and not hard.

The truth is, none of these sets of people are " working smart"

They are actually people who made a smart decision and are working hard towards their goals.

Bill Gates made a smart decision to build Microsoft with a goal to solve your internet and communication needs, and he is working hard to achieve this goal with his company standing tall.

Elon Musk made a smart decision to build Space X with a goal to colonize Mars, and dude is working hard to achieve his goal.

Jeff Bezos made a smart decision to build Amazon to solve your online shopping needs, and he is working hard to keep his company stronger for many years to come.

Those crypto or forex traders made a smart decision to invest in cryptocurrency and they are working hard to yield their profits, by always analysing coins and knowing when to buy or sell.

None of these guys or set of people I mentioned are sleeping 8 hours a day like your Mr. Working smart who stays in bed all day long.

But guess what? They are more successful than those who claim to be " working smart'.

The smart decision I made for myself was Acquiring a digital skill, and becoming a Freelancer online as a freelance Copywriter.

I work hard to satisfy my clients with a good job done perfectly, so I can get paid and keep them as a regular customer.

Rethink your whole life. What smart decision have you made?

Before you say life is unfair, because you have no financial freedom, I want you to ask yourself, have you made any smart decision and have worked hard to achieve your goal?

Make a smart decision, and work hard towards your goal.

If you want to make money online, start with Acquiring a hot in demand digital skills and monetize it through freelancing.

Mix it with CONSISTENCY and see how powerful you will become.

Good morning champs.
