Hard work or Smart Work?
The ongoing debate about whether success is achieved through sheer effort and persistence (hard work) or by strategic thinking and efficiency (smart work). It underscores the balance between diligence and innovation in achieving goals and overcoming challenges. I know some will answer "both is important" but how will it go in the long run? share your opinions.

Hey Mark! Philosophical question😁
Smart work I think, because it's easier to find someone who will do the hard work for you.
I think you can do a lot of hard work for nothing if you don't combine it with smart work. It's like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: Who would they be on their own?

@kilopolki haha, me too:)
Maybe this is a silly thought (I'm tired and my brain isn't working well), but I think UX = smart work and UI = hard work, (of course it's not the case 100% of the time). I believe optimization is the key to success for every product designer, and optimization can't be done without smart work. Design optimization is an infinite process of analysis.
@william_woods yup it works! in your perspective, how doable to a normal person is no code app?
@james_ramos2 TRUEEE! as a full stack and data analytic, how do you perform hard and smart work?
@kilopolki Frist, choose the right way to achieve the goal, I think this is the smart work,
and after define the correct way I will work hard. :)
Launching soon!
I know we can go on and on about which one's better.
I'll just share something one of my teachers told me back in school.
Q. Adeeb, can hard work beat talent?
A. No, sir
Statement: When you're sleeping, someone's working. And if you and him/her collide one fine day, no matter how talented you are, you'll be blown away.
Coming to the choice between the two, I leave it to thy judgment (Cause, I still can't pick 😅)!
@adeeb_malik Like Andrew Tate once said " You cannot know how talented you are at a specific skill if you don't put yourself in the limits of how your skill works." and that is one of the most impactful thing that applied my skill today as a music engineer. in your marketing, how do you prefer the perseverance?
Launching soon!
@kilopolki in Marketing, as the profession is all about trying, failing, learning, until you succeed. As you quoted, I just go at it everyday with full impact, driven by insanity to achieve it, and composure to know when things are going different, and just accepting my mistakes and moving ahead. That’s me.
@ditarth_wbs yup! I hope when your product launches soon! all of these will be applied to the project with love! hope to see your app soon!
@vaibhavdwivedi yup! we also live in the world where there is a large containment of distractions, and being able to coupe up with a lot of it makes you a legend of your own self control. which makes a great great business CEO's
I am going with the smart approach now. Hard work is in the past for me, and I've learned that I can delegate tasks; there is nothing wrong with that. Recently, I found https://academized.com/buy-book-... book report service, and they have made my life so much easier. By letting them handle some of my academic tasks, I can focus on what truly matters to me. This shift has allowed me to enjoy my hobbies, like photography, and to explore new interests without being bogged down by endless assignments and coursework. Embracing delegation has truly been a game-changer, giving me the freedom to balance my studies with the things I love.
