WORKING HARD VERSUS WORKING SMART

“You can work hard. But if you don’t work smart, you will work for the rest of your life.”

Abraham Lincoln once said, “if I had six hours to cut down a tree, I’d spend the first four hours to sharpening the saw”. When the saw is sharp, it will cut down the tree faster and with less labour, but when the saw is blunt, it will take a longer time to cut down the tree and with more labour. Many people are working hard but not working smart. They keep wondering why things are not happening the way it should after putting in so much hard work. The answer is simple. They are working hard but not working smart.

So often, people are working hard at the wrong thing. Working on the right thing is probably more important than working hard. Don’t wait for luck to knock on your door. Work smart such that the luck waits in a queue at your door step. Working smart means to truly know yourself and your strengths, so you can build a productivity flow and network around you to fill in your weak spots and in turn, reach goals in the most efficient way possible. Working smart is finding where your strength lies or the area where you are naturally gifted or talented and concentrate on building a career around it. If your talent is in music and you decide to pursue a career in sport where you are not naturally gifted, you will work hard for a long time and achieve little or nothing. But if you concentrate on your strength and pursue a career in that area, your star will shine in no longer time. For a student, if you are good in the art and decide to join science class because the career prospect there is lucrative, you will end up frustrated. Be wise, go where your strength lies and build on it while you work on your weak areas. That is smart work.

Let me give you a clear understanding of working hard and working smart. Working hard is using a manual typewriter to process documents while working smart is using a computer system to process document which is faster and more efficient. Working hard is using manual labour to cultivate a piece of land for farming while working smart is using tractor and other mechanized way of farming. Working hard is trying to do everything by yourself. Working smart is delegating your task to others and training them to do it the way you would. It will save you time, energy and make you more productive and achieve a lot within a short time frame.

Take time to study what you are currently doing as a business person, employer of labour, student, employee and even house wife. Are you working hard or working smart? There must be a way to do what you are currently doing better, faster and more efficiently. Find it and start working smart. You will achieve more, earn more, save time, save energy and be more productive. Think about it.

Be happy. Be successful. Be YOU.

ARE YOU A PLUS OR A MINUS?

QUOTE: Success is when I add value to myself. Significance is when I add value to others.

There are people you meet in life that are energy drainers and dream killers. When they come into your life, they sabotage, disrupt, frustrate and mess up things for you. They find fault in everything you do, gossip and pull you down before others, refuse to help you when the need arise and even take from you the little you have. They don’t have any good thing to offer. Rather they are an embodiment of trouble, full of bitterness and hatred. These type of people are called MINUS. On the other hand, there are people that come into your life and add value to your life. They help you to achieve your goals and fulfill destiny. They do not judge you or see any reason to pull you down. They are more interested in you becoming a better version of yourself. They can go to any lenght to make life better for you. These are the people we call PLUS.

You should aim at adding value to the lives of everyone you come in contact with. The greatest legacy anyone can leave behind is to positively impact the lives of others. Whenever you add value to other people’s lives, you are unknowingly leaving footprints on the sands of time that live on, even after your demise. You add value to lives by helping people to succeed, by helping people to achieve their dreams, by making life easy for people and by giving to people from what you have whenever the need arise. The more we put helping others first and focus on adding value to other people’s lives, the more abundance flows our way. It’s a win win all the way around.

Success is when you add value to yourself. Significance is when you add value to others. Look at your life now, are you significant to anyone at all? Wherever we find ourselves, we should aim to be valuable by giving what we have (our time, skill, talent, resources) to make life more meaningful to those around. If you are in an organisation, be a blessing to that organisation and not a curse. Be a problem solver and not a problem creator. Let your impact be felt. Go out of your way to make things work for that organisation. You may be a leader or a follower in that organisation, it does not matter. What matters is the impacting you are making. People should miss you and remember you for good when you are not there anymore. A vacuum should be created when you leave.

To add value to others, you must first value others. If you do not genuinely love people, you cannot add value to their lives neither can you help them when the need arise. You have to learn to like people irrespective of their behaviour, attitude, religion, and orientation. That’s only when you will truly value them. Don’t be a minus in the lives of people you come in contact with or organisation you find yourself. Don’t be the fault finder, trouble maker or obstacle in the wheel of progress. When you live your life in alignment with a purpose that is centered on selflessly adding value for others, opportunities become abundant and your life becomes fulfilled.

True success in life is when you help other people to succeed and when you help them to achieve their dreams. Don’t forget that what you give others will come back to you. Give value and it will come back to you. Help others and help will come to you. Be the reason why someone is happy and happiness will never leave you. I must state it here that you really cannot give what you don’t have. You cannot give value when you don’t have it. So take time to become valuable by investing in yourself, in skills and knowledge. When you are valuable, resources will be attracted to you and when you have resources at your disposal, that’s when you can make contributions in the lives of others. Be valuable so that you can add value to others as the need arise.

Be happy. Be successful. Be YOU.

YOUR SUCCESS IS IN YOUR COMPETENCE

QUOTE: Strengthen your character and competence and you enhance your connections and credence.

Competence is the ability to do something successfully or efficiently. Inorder for you to enjoy good success in whatever you are doing, you have to be competent. Seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings and not ordinary men. Diligence is a combination of competence and hardwork. If you are not skilled or properly trained to do a particular job, you cannot excel in it, you will not go far in it, people will not applaud you and you will not be a reference point and enjoy success. What is it that you are currently doing? Are you a student, an employee or a business owner? Become competent in what you are doing.

As a student, you cannot make good grades and excel in your studies if you don’t possess good study skills. There are skills required for you to study effectively and make good grades. When you discover these skills and start applying them, your grades will improve and before you know it, you will be at the top of your class. That is competence. Students try to find out what it takes to become a competent student. You have to learn and master studying skills (listening, note taking, writing and reading skills), use of library skills, exam preparation skills and skills for answering various types of examination questions. When you are competent in these skills, you will sure be on your way to making first class grade.

Life is not difficult as we make it look. Everything answers to principles. When you understand the principles for success in whatever you are doing and apply those principles, you will surely succeed irrespective of the circumstances surrounding you. That itself is competence. Are you are business person or a tradesman? Competence is the key to your success. Get to know your trade very well. Improve your skill by learning and unlearning. Constant training and learning will give you an edge over your competitor. You cannot know it all. What you knew yesterday cannot help you to favourably compete in today’s business arena. Things are changing drastically. Ideas and innovations are springing up daily with the speed of light. You have to follow the trend to remain relevant or else you will soon become outdated and people will stop patronizing you.

When you are truly competent at what you do, you will be on top of your field and the world will celebrate you. Say no to mediocrity in any form. Add value to yourself by investing in knowledge and skill development. When you do, success will become your next door neighbour. Success demands a high level of logistical and organisation competence. Love what you do. Get good at it. Competence is a rare commodity in this day and age. Get it at all cost for your own profiting. Competence is a greate creator of confidence that will enable you to succeed in the market square.

Be happy. Be successful. Be YOU.

THE LAW OF SELF DISCIPLINE

QUOTE: The most important principle of success in life is self discipline.

Self discipline is the ability to do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not. It is doing what needs to be done, even if you don’t want to do it. It is being able to force yourself to do something in spite of how you feel, over and over until it becomes a habit. Discipline is the bridge between your goals and accomplishment. You cannot go far in life or in any area of human endeavour if you are not discipline. Self discipline is what set people apart from others and make them to be ahead and on top.

If you ever want to accomplish more in life, you have to learn to discipline yourself to do what you have to and ought to do inorder to excel. Discipline is the price you pay for greatness. If you want to be at the top of your career or studies, you have to discipline yourself and learn to stay focus and persevere. You have to learn to delay gratification and enjoyment now inorder for you to have time to focus on your goals. You have to be a law to yourself by saying no to anything that will not help you acheive your goals and saying yes to everything that will help you achieve your goals legitimately.

Nobody win a prize without paying the price. No one becomes great in life or achieve any feat in life without subjecting himself to personal discipline and staying dedicated to his course. Discipline will take you far in life where connections cannot take you. Connections can take you to a point in life but it is only discipline that can keep you there. Suffer the pain of discipline today so that you will not suffer the pain of regret tomorrow. Life is a process and does not encourage short cuts. What you fail to do today will wait for you tomorrow and can become your stumbling block to success.

Don’t let anyone deceive you, what will be, will not be. You are the one that will make it to be by doing the right things that are reguired of you. Put in the effort and hardwork you need to put inorder to achieve your goals in life. Don’t live a careless and carefree life. What you sow you will reap and what you give you will surely get. You are created to be the best in life but it is only discipline and hardwork that can help you become the best. Your level of success is determined by your level of discipline and perseverance. Motivation gets you going but discipline keeps you growing. Don’t get it twisted.

Be happy. Be successful. Be YOU.

MANAGING YOUR MIND

QUOTE: Imagine with all your mind. Believe with all your heart. Achieve with all your might.

Managing your mind is the primary principle for increasing your value, multiplying your success, upgrading your state, and thus, enlarging your estate. Sometimes, you may have tried so hard and done all you thought you knew to do about something, without much success. What more can you do? Well, why don’t you begin with mind management? Can you manage your mind differently regarding that situation? Can you access your mental hard drive to see what files you need to delete and the new ones you need to download and install?

Yes you can, and you should. You can make your life happier and much more fulfilling by making the right changes in the structure of your thinking. You can transform your life my changing your way of thinking i.e. by renewing – or managing your mind. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind. If your thoughts are constantly thoughts of failure and setbacks, you will experience failure and setback. We are product of our thought. You see what we think. Thoughts are like seeds, when you sow them by constantly thinking on a particular type of thought in your mind, that thought will soon grow and produce fruits of its kind.

What you don’t want to see in your life, don’t dwell on it. Life management begins with mind management. The quality of your life is influenced by the quality of your thoughts. Your thoughts do form your world. Scarce thought create a life of scarcity. Thoughts of abundance lead to abundant circumstances. Try today to start deleting every negative thought from the hard drive of your mind and start installing new thoughts in your mind. The earlier the better becuase sooner or later, the thought you have in your mind, will soon produce fruits of its kind.

Be happy. Be successful. Be YOU.
