Hard Work Is A Fucing Scam Smh

[John Mayer]

take advice on hardwork from one of the most famous and known manipulators in American Business History brehs

Ok.
What about Michael Jackson?
"The best advise that I would give them is it's a lot of hard work, and be prepared, because it's not all joy all the time."

Beyonce?
“I worked so hard during my childhood to meet this goal: By the time I was 30 years old, I could do what I want. I’ve reached that. I feel very fortunate to be in that position. But I’ve sacrificed a lot of things, and I’ve worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it,” Bey told GQ.

I could on and post many more people who enjoy what they do, but still work hard at it if you like.

To be honest, "wanting to be appreciated" = taking this work ish personal. IMO the key is to perform at a high level so being promoted is a no brainer for the company and you have the track record to back it up, but even then promotions shouldn't just be used as "pay increases", they should be swords for your resume. Lots of people get a sweet job and think they made it and just get comfy because they think they will be in the role forever, then one day the job gets crappy and they feel stuck because they are so dependent on the company and haven't gained any skills or progress that would make them competitive on the job market. Sooooo many companies offer tuition reimbursement, free/discounted training, etc on things that nobody takes advantage of. When I get promotions I dont just think about how it impacts my company I think of how now it makes me eligible to get the equivalent role or maybe higher at another company, so I can asses my options to see what is best for me and my family.

uh, you talked in a big circle. You want to be appreciated by your company. If you are not "fulfilled" or "appreciated" you go somewhere else. If you're not taking work personal wtf is the purpose other than a paycheck? I seen a man develop a program for a company and get undervalued by the company. He left but his work remains as anything you "create" or "think of" is company property,

I agree that working for yourself is better than a 9-5 but the way some of yall talking as if you running fortune 500 companies i curious of the net worth of some coli members

That's 'what I'm wondering honestly.
"Work smart, not hard" is odd.
"Work smart and hard,"" should be the mantra.
I'm thinking of Doctors in Private Practice and Academia, Law Partners, Presidents and Vice Presidents of Investment Banks, Deans of Universities, Managers of Hedge Funds, CEOs and CFOs of Internet and Fortune 500 Companies, Bank Presidents.
They all work smart, but they also work hard, and they are by far the highest paid.
You can work "smart but not hard," and squeeze out a comfortable living.
And you can work "hard but not smart" and do the same thing, probably with a lot more stress.
But the combination of the two brings true "success," at least in freedom and the ability to acquire material things.

And guess what neither wrote their own music, they created teams to make their jobs more efficient and easier. Nobody is saying "working hard" does not exist, the point is the goal should be to work smarter at all times if possible.

Like I said before Working Smart and being CONSISTENT is the key to success.

My boy got expelled from College, ended up getting a TEFL/TESOL and heading off to Japan, chilled there teaching for a bit then went to Indonesia. He taught there for a few years, that teaching job got him connections and a position with an NGO, he's making around $70-80k USD in Indonesia right now, a country where the average person makes around $4k per year. His teaching job was roughly 25 hours a week, he made around $12k when he was doing that, he works slightly more hours now but they send him to other countries. Even then he's had so much free time he's on the verge of becoming a master scuba teacher and about to open his own scuba diving school

fukk hard work, he took the unconventional path and is eating heavy where he's at now, I'm almost certain he plans on living in that region for the rest of his life and he's basically made almost enough money to retire there already.

Yea folks think working 2 jobs or 40+ hours is "grinding". Or the whole "Sleep is for the weak".

This.......
work smart still applies when it comes to innovation that simplifies work processes.

Ie....chain saws replacing axes gasoline engines replacing horses (not saying people don't use axes or horses....)

But that motto or cliche is used while YOU ARE WORKING.......if you got to move a 1000 boxes, then work smart.....ie use a fork lift or a dolly or something to not WORK HARD LOL. It takes smarts and hard work to make it to wherever you want to be..

http://mobile.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/working_hard.html

Some people hustle harder than others, nothing you can do about it but get on yo job and keep your book smart, street smarts and common sense in line with WORKING HARD.....
Even if you want to lose weight, save Money or whatever your dreams or goals are.....it takes both......

Or maybe.....

Yes, this quote or motto, saying is often mis interpreted like many other quotes.. I like you take this work smart not hard thing to mean just what you said. The first time I heard this was when I morked for a moving company and the old head would always say, shyt like lift with your knees or put a coaster under that couch and slide across the floor.. etc... You CANT not work and make money and you shouldn't kill yourself just to get bye.

Ok.

Yes people equate the term hard work to killing yourself or working 80hrs a week, you can work hard without doing that. Also these celebrities and entertainers or athletes that everyone thinks has it so easy, are putting in insane amounts of "work" behind the scenes, to be put in the position to have a lot of money thrown at them.. You cant say all he do is stand up there and sing or all MJ did was play a "kids" game, yall don't see the hard work he put in with tim grover or how much more of this kids game he practiced at than the average person.. that is the hard work, He was also smart by getting the best trainers to help him.

Yea anyone that disagrees with this is just arguing just to argue.. Its not one way or the other, its both, again , no you wont become manager at your company by never taking vacation you are given or by being the first one there and the last one to leave (its a good trait) but it wont get you there by itself. You have balance it out, you have to pick and choose what project to work hard on and when to stay late. and as was said a million times here, having your own successful business is hard work, yes it is easier than working for a corporation, but that doesnt mean you just sit around all day and people throw money at you.. people with their own business make up the majority of the "rich or wealthy" and coming from someone who has their own business I can tell you it can be exhausting, and hard work, no matter how easy the actual job is, in my business the software does all the calculations and its pretty easy to just fill in the info that is given to you, HOWEVER it can get really busy and overwhelming, on top of having to deal with people who don't have all their shyt together or just don't listen. they make what would be an easy job difficult. Also staying up on the latest changes and educating myself TO ME is hard work. So yes unless you hit the lotto or were given money by your parents you will work for it in on way or another..

Breh you discovered a secret of the work world. The higher up you go, the more power you have, which means less people to answer to, more people to delegate work to, and the easier work is. Plus you get to take credit for all that shyt.

I am noticing this.

The AVPs at my job be stealing the shyt out of ideas and taking all the credit

I am in a position to delegate now so I be delegating and laying low ... I do enough to get the best raise and bonus but I don't kill myself either

 

[Sad Bunny]

I started a new job 3 weeks ago and I love it, time goes by fast, always busy like how I like my work, every day is different as it's a hospital. I remember my old job, all i did was post on the coli all day long, keep looking at the clock, felt like I was aging. Finding somethign yu love doing but even though its busy your not stressed out.

Life is so short I never get why people just work work work work. THroughout the years I can't even tell the amount of times I've come into work and so and so died, or so and so had a heart attack or their husband died at work etc., all this storing up your treasure when I'm old and retired bla bla no man is promised tomorrow.

I'm going on vacation next month and every 6 months I go somewhere, I refuse to be my friend my mom was telling me about who worked like a dog, ot, 12 hour shifts daily then when she retired she went on a cruise and died on the cruise of a heart attack, nah i'am enjoy life ight now

Damn that's real bro

My homie quit his job and is traveling now.

He quit in October and he's low on cash but he can always reenter the work force because of his career path....and his resume is dope

He said his older coworker died while packing for vacay...heart attack

I'm going ham this summer. Me and wifey gonna travel

Seattle here I come

I'm not talking about a job being physically demanding. In my opinion, the most difficult jobs are the ones that require little to no physical effort. And what job gets you 100k a year without being demanding or requiring some type of schooling?

100k is great but I'd be good with 85k to be honest.

Idk what kinda upbringing yall had but I don't make 100k and I'm loving pretty good man compared to the projects in philly.

I started off making 30k out of school man. shyt was a struggle.

But I'm good now

 

[Monster]

i should add, it's not that i dont believe in workin hard,

but, i think it's easier to work hard when you got somethin that's worth it (i .e a good hustle)

i honestly believe very few men are actually lazy


if there is a good opportunity, mos people will put tha work in

 

[Rawtid]

BUT he now has that experience under his belt and can go at the next employer with some leverage. Hopefully that won't be the first or last program he ever develops but it may be the last program he ever develops that he doesn't have the rights too.
