?There are two ways to be successful in doing any work:?
HARD WORK involves commitment, involvement and sincerity. WORK HARD also means working honestly.
SMART WORKING refers to being creative and looking for other ways to get the work done faster and easier.
HARD WORK is done the physical effort and less use of the brain whereas, In SMART WORK, it is done with more use of brain and techniques and less use of physical efforts.
HARD WORK is when one does certain things without effective planning whereas, SMART WORK is when we get the work done through planning and people without any physical stress.?
HARD WORK may generate a high cost, whereas SMART WORK leads to work done at a minimum cost.?
HARD WORK Never fails, whereas SMART WORK fails sometimes.?
Other examples:?
HARD WORK: When Nasa began to launch the astronauts into space, they found out that a pen would not work at “zero gravity”. It took them one decade and $12M to solve this problem, and they developed a pen that worked at “zero gravity”.
SMART WORK: Russia used the pencils! They used their mental skills and got an efficient and effective solution.?

Conclusion:?
Actually, both HARD WORK and SMART WORK go hand-in-hand, but SMART WORK is considered better because it is saving, efficient in monetary terms, and effective.?
?Funny:?
A Japanese company received a complaint that a consumer had bought an empty soap box. Immediately the authority asked their engineers to make a system that could restrict these types of problems in the future.?
Then the engineers worked hard and came up with an idea. They attached an X-ray machine with a monitor, and every soapbox passed through that machine before being delivered to ensure that they were not empty.
No doubt they WORK HARD, but they spend a huge amount to do so.?
A small business faced the same problem, but they did not get into the complications of using an expensive X-ray machine; instead, they found another solution. They bought an industrial fan and pointed it to the assembly line when every soap passed the fan, and it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.?
?My way, add a weight scale what check if the soapbox is empty or not.?
Any different ideas to solve this problem??
