No linear relation between hard work and success

“HARD WORK IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS” is a myth. The ruling class people used that proverb to get more works from the labor class. Teachers have always used the proverb “ Education is the pillar of success” to inspire students to study more.

Since the stone age, successful people have never worked hard. They have worked smart.

Gladiators worked hard, so did slaves. The labor class people have worked hard.

The agriculture workers in India work hard. Garments workers of Bangladesh work hardest. The construction workers in Dubai die working hard to build the tallest building in the world.

Hard work is inversely proportional to success. Too much work jeopardizes the potential of success.

Working hard will undermine your creative energy and innovative ideas. It, also, deteriorates your quality of life.

It is no wonder that you are not succeeding in your life by working hard.

The purpose of working smarter is to accomplish the same or more without working hard.

You have to optimize your brain functions to work efficiently.

Working smart can give you success not, not working hard.
