Hard vs Smart


You know the saying:


“التكرار يعلم الحمار الشطار “

whom ever said that obviously never met me!!

I said that to my sister and interestingly today my friend was discussing with me a conversation she had with someone at work

There are two types of work, there’s hard work and there’s smart work

The one that’ll get you places is the latter.

Seems all simple and dandy, but how is that?? Basically when you work, do it in a smart way, it’s not about how well you are doing, or how hard you are working, it’s about who knows what you are doing and forget about your superior, just get as many people in high places to know you!

See the work you do may not be grand but because someone somewhere that matters remembers you, you’ll get what you want … if you work hard and OK people around you know how hard you work … so what?? Who has the decision!

I listened and deep down I know I’m screwed … cause one thing I know is I ain’t smart in that way. The job gets done, who knows about it … well me and … not sure about that!

Same job, but how you present it, the outcome differs. I think there should be a course out there teaching this skill …

“What do you mean I should’ve not said that? All I told him was to follow procedures”

“But he’s the manager!”

“So … you mean we should treat people differently!!”

I dunno what I’m trying to prove here, WTH am I doing ??

I believe I learned something here, now I understand how people change … slowly they do, even themselves they don’t notice it, then all the sudden they look back and see how they began and how they ended. We will see if I learn a thing or two and if I don’t, then definitely I’ll be seeking people like me and file a petition to revoke the earlier statement because I can swear that in my case repetition ain’t teaching me one damn thing.
