Some of you must be white with the whole work smart thing. If you're a black male working in corporate America, working hard is pretty much your only guarantee of moving up the ladder.
:mjlol:
Heres a gem, in this day and age you have to out smart everyone to get the job not work harder. If a company wants a minority they will get a "hard working" black woman or white woman for the role, black men have to be able to finesses their way into roles. It is impossible to know everything at a job and black men must work SMART and be cautious of everything. In Corporate America you can be the hardest working black man in the company but get fired because they say you weren't sociable and it offended /made co workers field threatened. Hard work = Doing the job no matter what kind of toll it takes on you, Working Smart = analyzing your task at hand and finding the most efficient way to do the job that will net you the greatest amount of reward for least amount of risk.

The simple fact people cannot understand this concept shows why they will never be successful at what ever it is they do or choose to do in life. As a Black Man you have to out smart everyone around you, not even in a way that your goal is to take advantage of people, but you have all odds stacked against you AND people looking to exploit you at times, you are a damn fool if you think just showing up and working hard will lead you to the promise land.

man when I was in college working little jobs, there were sooooooo many dudes that had been in their jobs for 10+ yrs and were the best at what they do and thought that would get them into management. The simple fact people are saying this hard work stuff shows they dont do anything impactful for a living. If you work for someone Politics is a hurdle, and when you own your own business ROI is the biggest thing both of which you must work SMART.

here's a good read

If we want to be successful, we shouldn't be content to simply work smarter. The most successful people work smart, but they also work exceptionally hard. They maintain the same level of persistence and drive while learning ways to do things more efficiently. We don't all have to aspire to be CEOs, but for those of us that do, finding more effective ways to do things is only half the battle.

Hard work and smart work alone are not sufficient for business success -- ingenuity, vision, risk calculation, and luck, among others, all play roles -- but both are essential, and it's time to stop treating them as if they were mutually exclusive. Young professionals and budding entrepreneurs must work smarter, harder, longer and better -- because their competition already is.

Again, dont know why people are suggesting it is one way or the other

true i remember where i worked there were people who bragged about not being late or calling in sick :mjlol: one guy worked hard never went to toilets except on break always came in early busting his ass but has gained fukk all from it :russ:. ANYONE who believes this bullshyt has NEVER worked a proper white collar job or comes from a very poor family. Some of the richest people in the world got their stuff on a silver platter or took credit for other peoples work. Dont let news or tv fool you

This. Corporate America is one big circle jerk. You will not get noticed if you're a "hard worker" who keeps to himself. You have to play the game. It makes me sick.

Playing the game is playing the game. Ya'll keep trying to drop these things into cliche buckets of working hard and working smart, thats not what it is.

EXACTLY, Black successful business men got to where they are because they out smarted everyone, hell ALL successful business men. We tell our kids this BS hard work stuff so our kids kill themselves in school trying to "work hard" then they graduate and can't get a job or get a job and dont climb the ranks/get laid off and dont know how to bounce back because they had so much tunnel vision when it came to work.

Why wouldn't a Steve Jobs tell people to work hard? All these CEOs tell people work hard so they can hire your dumb ass so you can do all the work for them and think "if I work hard enough I will become CEO" when these companies will just get their next CEO from the outside or promote the CEOs golf buddy.
:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:
Think the iPod came about from Steve Jobs hard work brehs
:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:
Not know Steve Jobs was one of the most hated men in the tech industries and Apple employees were shook of him brehs

Working smart is playing the game, if you aren't working smart then you aren't playing the game, you are just a pawn being moved around with no input to where you go.

you need to articulate your thoughts without the use of "working smart" because you repeatedly use it out of context
