The Hard Work and The Smart Work


Sometimes it is not really what we do that counts; it is how we do them. The wisdom that goes into it. Same task but how we do them marks off whether what we did is hard work or smart work. The question to ask is, are my actions focused on my objective.  Without a clear understanding of the purpose, a mission will be derailed, abused and frustrated.  Hard work is like doing the knowledge you have, smart work is using the wisdom you have.  The two can never get the same result.
For example pushing the caterpillar is hard work but using a crane is smart work. Doing the work by your self is hard work but doing it through someone else is smart work.  Doing all the work is hard work but doing only important, relevant and necessary ones is smart work. Hard work steals your time, drains your energy and gets you little accomplished. Smart work saves you time, energy, gives you speed, sets you at an advantage, gives you an edge over your companions and attracts you favour.

Most of the things we would need to do has been done before by someone somewhere. You don’t need to reinvent the wheels. Research and find out what has done, who did them, where and how it was done.  Just copy and paste, may be with certain adjustments. Learn to ask relevant questions, they will provide you clues and directions. No one enjoys suffering, the creator has not  said you should which is why he gave you brain. You please no body by adopting the hard, excruciating way. God does use the simplest method to reach any solution and so should you. You can always accomplish anything you set your heart to do with prior planning, organization and implementation. Do not waste time trying to be perfect about it. Just be ok and brief. Do not spend too much time doing what need not be done. Do not spend time crying over spilled milk. Learn the lesson and move on. Do not spend time trying to learn every new skill by yourself be ready to pay those who has learnt it to teach you. Use your head, use your wisdom, use you skills more than you use your hands that’s smart work. It ultimately pays you. Hard work drains you, kills you and end up pleasing no body. Do smart work instead. Crack the code.

When it is Time to Say Goodbye.

Image
1 Min. Read Micheal lost his job 3 months ago and with his job, his little Bus. He was an employee of a Marketing and Distribution Company based in Lagos. He never saw it coming so he never planned for a plan B. As it came suddenly on him like a hurricane wind, Mich lost his hope, faith and hence was discouraged. He was confused now started to live from hand to mount. The universe did not tell him what was waiting at the corner so he was deflated. What Mich did not know was that it was time to say goodbye. Mich still had his trainings because he was a very talented, dedicated, intelligent young man. But he never looked beyond to know that what he needed to begin a life was being handed to him and that he was only a trainee while at The Locust Grove Mean Co. He has all he needs to start a new life but never reckoned with that fact and the light came crashing at this time. Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a rut and the universe is against you? Like nothing seems to go right, and...

Let the sleeping Dog lie...

Image
Isn't that why we suffer a lot, the society is bad,  we know things are not going the right way but we do not want to create more problems so let the sleeping dog lie. Isn't that why our problems grow and they overwhelm us and undermine us because we dare not ask questions, we just let the seeping dog lie. So who will solve the problem? while waiting for somebody to do it, no body does it. It slips our finger, grows so big and out of hand. We let the dog lie. Every body knows it is wrong, everybody knows they are lying, everybody knows we are loosing, we just let the sleeping dog lie So who will do it, who will lead the battle, who will bail the cat. Its quite ironic peolpe need solutions to their problems but see simple, gentle attempt to ask questions as an affront, a confrontation, a show of insubordination to authority. People just want to control, they want to be in charge and do not care who is hurt by what they do. And because we value relationship rather tha...

Everything happen in a Relationship

Image
Relationship is a mine field. It is pregnant with unlimited possibilities. Relationship is like  a farmland where everything you plant can grow and nurture. When it matures it brings forth fruits and maintain the farmer for a long time. Many people wants to get results from associates directly without going through the process of relationship. Such transactions does not succeed or at best do not last because they do not go through the right channels You see, people are more than what you just see on the outside.  That person you are looking at is more than what you see. He has values, he has ethics, he has a belief system and he has unique features that differentiates him from every other person on the street. He desire to be accepted but more importantly he desires to be learned, understood and followed according to accepted principles. He does not want to be badged or controlled. And he is correct,  God made him so.  Do not think you can just have him give y...
