Being Smart vs. Working Hard in Life
Soooo…I work at a company that hires from the best schools in the country. I work with extremely smart and hard working people. But…I’ve found that working hard is a much better way to get through life rather than just being smart. Now I’m not talking about “work smarter not harder”. I’m talking about the folks who rest everything they’ve done on what school they went to. Put in the hours, do it right the first time, and you’ll impress a lot of people along the way.
What works for you all? Is it a combination of the school you went to and working hard? What is working hard? I actually heard a quote once, granted it was off of Sportscenter, but it went something like this. ‘The world is ruled by C students who went to State’! I love this quote, not because I was a C student, actually I was more of a C+ student and I also went to a state school
. But rather, I think it represents America, the hard working folks are the ones who are able to get ahead in life.
I hope this generates some talk out there. Let me know what you think!
