Both are important, but at the end of the day if I have to choose I would rather have someone on my
crew that works smarter. I work in a world where getting it done right is more important than
anything else. |

Sometimes the smarter way to work is the harder way to work. Society rewards people that work
smarter, as it saves time and effort. While hardship is good for the soul and character, working
smarter makes more sense as it saves people from becoming burnt out and becoming cynical |

Obviously an argument posited by one incpable of working outside of the "dumber" box |

It's not lazy to save yourself unneeded effort if you get the same amount done. However, if you're
decreasing the quality of your work in the process, then I'd consider that to be lazy. |

You have missed what the saying means. It means you think before you act and make sure you get the
job done in the smartest way thus saving wasting your efforts and leaving more time to do other
things (including more work). It's all in the preparation. |

I think I always picture this as referring to specific tasks. For example, when I buy groceries in
nice weather, I park at the top of my drive and bring in the groceries as then I don' t have to
carry them up the stairs to the kitchen from the garage.
I leave the things that belong on the lower level of the house in my vehicle and then go down the
drive and pull into the garage on the lower level of my home and unload those things there. That
would be things like pet food and litter, laundry items, and things for my daycare.
So by doing it that way I am avoiding lugging things up and down the stairs. With my back problems,
anything I can do smarter instead of harder, I do. I am only lugging me up the steps. Now in the
winter, it makes more sense to come in through the garage. |

I disagree for only one reason. If someone is working "smarter", chances are that they are more
productive and therefore also working harder. I honestly have never heard the term working
"smarter", but it would seem to me that "smarter" would be more diligently and more productively. I
also think that if one has completely finished their workload and wishes to spend a small part of
their time on the job being social and, at the same time, supporting co-workers, the work place is a
more relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Those who work long hours spend more of their waking time at
work than they do at home and their co-workers are the people who they most often interact with. I
believe that people are most productive when they are happy and want to be at work. In some working
environments, the reason some people may slack off is due to how they are managed. Those who are
lucky enough to have a boss who encourages teamwork and is open to a more casual working environment
(where appropriate) seem to want to work harder because they feel respected and, in turn, want to
show their respect and demonstrate loyalty and commitment to their employer. |
