Hard Worker:
A hard worker is a person who consistently works towards what he perceives to be worth working, regardless of how dynamic the situation might be. Success for the Hard Worker doesn't come overnight but only after putting in long hours at work and depriving himself of the comforts of life.

Smart Worker:
Allen F. Morgenstern said way back in the 1930s “work smarter… not harder”. The reason behind it is that a smart worker is a person who works towards what he perceives to be worth working for and applies his brain and efforts in the most efficient manner with the help of integration of both. It guarantees successful results with minimal human energy wasted.

Elements of Smart Work:

The elements of Smart Working are many, a few of them are shared below. However, every smart worker cannot possess all the elements but the more elements the merrier:

  • Work on your weaknesses.

  • Build your strengths.

Time bound, manage time very well. Motivational speaker and authorNapoleon Hill said 'goal is a dream with a deadline.'

  • Should have in-depth knowledge of the field of choice.

  • Having an optimistic approach in life.

  • Having control on one's emotions.

  • Hangout with the best influences possible.​
