The ongoing debate about whether success is achieved through sheer effort and persistence (hard work) or by strategic thinking and efficiency (smart work). It underscores the balance between diligence and innovation in achieving goals and overcoming challenges. I know some will answer "both is important" but how will it go in the long run? share your opinions.

Hey Mark! Philosophical question😁 Smart work I think, because it's easier to find someone who will do the hard work for you. I think you can do a lot of hard work for nothing if you don't combine it with smart work. It's like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: Who would they be on their own?

I'd say smart work is key! Working hard is important, but blindly grinding away isn't always the most effective approach. Focusing on the right tasks, using the best tools, and delegating where possible can help you achieve more in less time.

This is a great question! In my experience, it's not really hard work or smart work, but a combination of both. You need to put in the dedicated effort hard work to get things done, but you also need to be strategic and efficient smart work to maximize your results.

Both hard work and smart work are crucial, but it depends on the context. Hard work ensures dedication and perseverance in achieving goals, while smart work emphasizes efficiency and strategic thinking to maximize outcomes.

I believe in a blend of both hard work and smart work. Hard work lays the foundation of effort and commitment, while smart work leverages planning and innovation to achieve results more effectively.

For me, it's about balancing hard work with smart work. Hard work builds discipline and resilience, while smart work focuses on leveraging resources and optimizing processes to achieve goals more efficiently.

I know we can go on and on about which one's better. I'll just share something one of my teachers told me back in school. Q. Adeeb, can hard work beat talent? A. No, sir Statement: When you're sleeping, someone's working. And if you and him/her collide one fine day, no matter how talented you are, you'll be blown away. Coming to the choice between the two, I leave it to thy judgment (Cause, I still can't pick 😅)!

THe combo of both would be ideal. But it is not so easy oftentimes.
