Essay on Hard Work is more Important than Smart Work

The importance of work is profound in every field. Be it intrinsic or extrinsic, work cannot be substituted with anything else.  

The earlier generation had followed the simple method of sheer hard work but in the present times, a new method of work was adopted where smart work was being utilized more often and it slowly replaced the hard work. Through smart work, the results were achieved quickly. But the real question is that can smart work replace hard work?  

Through smart work, results can be achieved but only to the point when it is direly needed, on the other hand, hard work gives one a long time result. Hard work is more important than smart work because through hard work there will be persistence and determination. There can be a better end product because of hard work. Starting with hard work is the basic and best option and it is the basic ingredient to achieve success.  

To reach your fullest potential, hard work is the only way and why not?. As Henry Ford says "The harder you work, the luckier you get"- the more successful you get. To reach the peak of the ladder, intense hard work with great skills will not only reap rewards but will also make you the person you wanted to be. To exemplify the importance of hard work, Thomas Edison can be taken up because as we all know, he failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. He never dreamed of giving up and kept struggling until he perfected in his art and excellence. Indeed it is clearly seen that success is not determined by the position you are in but in the fact that how much hard work you have put into it.   

It is for sure that life is not a bed of roses and that, there will be innumerable obstacles on the way, but the true worthy of success is that person who has truly made his way through hard work. Those people who are driven towards their goals, enjoy hard work to the fullest and hard works makes them successful people.    

There are also numerous other people who made their way only through hard work, like Abraham Lincoln who worked hard even though countless failures paved his way from the age of 21 till the age of 52, he didn't give up and became the president of U.S. Noah Webster is also another significant example who worked hard and after 36 years, his hard work bore the fruit in the form of Webster's Dictionary. It is a competitive advantage which makes one achieve its goal.   

Therefore, it is a high time which everyone should realize that hard work is important than smart work and hard work should not be underestimated. Though smart work has its own pros and cons, it can never replace hard work. As quoted by G.K Nielson " Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard, then succeed on purpose"
