Which one of these two do you think brings the best results for the company?
Work hard and deliver more quantity, or work smart and deliver more quality?
And what applies to you when it comes to working?

The best way is to work efficiently. Most amount of work done with the least amount of effort.

If you pour yogurt all over your body and throw yourself repeatedly into a brick wall from 9-5, you're still working hard.

If you manage to crack the bricks you're are doing overtime.


If you think I'm paying you for that overtime, you definitely ain't working smart. Now get back on that wall before your efficiency increases to dangerous levels.

Ideologically, its working smart
but realistically, its just working hard
coz if we talk about business, efficiency is more important than the output. The faster you make, the bigger the profit. But it also depends on what position u are in a company. If ur a CEO, of course u shood do both coz ur one of the brain of the company. The workers shood work hard coz they are the heart and bloodline of the company

working hard does not mean more efficient though, working smart is more efficient like my example i did not have a lot of overtime so the company saved some money from me as well as the electricity bill for my work computer

Neither. If I have to work, smart is of course what you strive for, but avoiding work altogether is the ideal.

Also, working hard doesn't necessarily have to do with quantity, and working smart doesn't necessarily have to do with quality. You can work hard to get quality results, and you can work smart in order to produce a higher quantity.

Why not neither?
I tend to almost not work at all till the last moment, but whatever I do I think it must be "smart" because I'm not in jail/repeating classes/dead.

I thought the point of a job was to drain you dry of all "smart" and "hard" you previously had in exchange for bits of paper which people think have value.

If "best result" is simply reduced to profitability: simply working hard without thought or a plan is retarded, no offense. Delievering less quantity can be more profitable for the company and lowering quality can be a smart business decision.

i love it when people start acting like some neutral almighty unbiased godly judge and they even believe their own shit, suddenly its not their thoughts and opinions anymore but the righteous justice god way, they are unbiased, non-subjective, they just are! To be honest, everyone is like this quite often, me included, but i don't forget myself and i still post a lot of personal shit which is what forums are made for , if they didn't want us to have our own style and posts it would be an article instead a forum thread.

Both. I bust my ass for my company.
Though it never seemed to recognize me unless I'm getting disciplinary action.
I love Christine

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau

Work smart, but really you should be doing both.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Basically using more of your mind or relying on stamina or strength.

Both are important, but unless you are a laborer or something of that nature, the former will always be more important.
