I have often reflected on these words, realizing that in today's world, just working hard won't always get you to where you want to be.
As I've considered this advice, I have come up with some tenets that will always hold true to the spirit of 'working hard, and working smart.'
Work Hard
When at work, give your employer your full attention. Working hard also means working honestly. If you are getting paid for working 56 hours a week, you need to be wholly 'present' for those 56 hours. While on the job, do you spend an unresonable amount of time away from where people can reach you, on the internet, taking coffee breaks, etc? If so, can you really expect to become truly successful at your job? Working honestly also creates good karma, which I'll touch on again.
If you aren't employed, work hard at keeping what comes into the house. I stay at home, and don't earn a paycheck, but that doesn't mean that I don't work hard. I do work hard, and my work has value. Besides raising children to be contibuting members of society, I save money aggressively by constantly learning to be economical, incest that saved money in diverse ways, and am steadily increasing our family's net worth. Despite not being the family breadwinner, I work hard at being successful, and at gaining wealth.
