Hard work is the physical or mental effort, or activity, directed toward the production of an accomplishment that requires diligence. If we measure success by accomplishment, it is more important to work smart than work hard. If we measure hard work by the time and effort we apply, success may or may not be the accomplished. I have seen hard work go unnoticed or be wasted due to the effort applied was in vain. Whereas, work that was well thought out first, and required less effort physically, was most rewarded. I'd rather hardly work "smart" than work hard "stupid."
Hard work, whether accomplished or unsuccessful, usually evokes feelings of satisfaction. We often notice those who work hard and describe them as being diligent, self-sacraficing, ethical, , a role model, timely, motivated, and inspirational. Hard workers tend to have high self-esteem because they are proud of the work they perform. It is only when hard work brings unrewarded attention, or poor success that they are likely to become frustrated. The most successful individuals work hard and smart. How do you work?

ReplyDeleteI think most of us can agree that hard work it takes a physical and/or mental effort to get things done. But most of the time the hard work is followed by an accomplishment and/or award for that hard work. I would agree that most hard worker have a high self-esteem and are proud of the hard work that they have done. But someone most also look at that sometimes hard work just don’t pay off. That is when you need to be strong and just try again. Some people things are just handed to them. These people miss out for they never really understand to true meaning of hard work and accomplishment.
I too most definately agree with your post. You definately explained it perfectly and better than i could. I do believe that hard work does involve someone who has self- confidence and enough motivation to want to even work hard. Someone who likes to take the lead and make sure they do what ever it takes to get whatever it is done. whether your the first person at work, the last person there, or maybe even both. You dont even have to be a super genius to be a hard worker, you just have to set your mind on what needs to be done and atleast have some common sense.
