Earlier today, I read an article
by David Leigh Weber – author of ‘My Life Has No
Purpose’ – titled ‘You're Not Working Hard Enough!’. Of course, the article portrayed an angle to the message i sent to some colleagues a few months back about working in relations to your unique strength.
I have –
overtime – heard parents telling their children to work ‘hard’ and employers
advising new employees on the need to work very ‘hard’. While I am not against the
concept of working ‘hard’ (not hardwork), I have often stressed the need to
work UNIQUELY. We all have our unique spots – some of us call it the strengths
zones –; and you should work in the areas of such strengths, harnessing the uniqueness
such strength convey and be the best YOU, you can be.
Working smart involves making the right moves at the right time with the right motive. Whatever you
do, do it as if that’s the only thing you have to do in the world. Give it your
best and ensure that value is added to others by what you do. Finally, learn
from yourself and others, and have fun!
If working smart involves making the right moves at the right time with the right motive, have you been working smart?
Question: Are
you working HARD enough, or UNIQUELY? What three steps should you take today to
enhance your strengths? Share your comments at the comment section, and share
with friends and colleagues.
