We learned that we should work hard but growing up our society is telling that working not too hard but getting more result is cool and awesome.
With that, these are two things that we should be aware of:
- Working smart alone is not enough, you still need to work hard on smarter ways.
- Working hard is not enough, you still need to look for smarter ways and work hard on it.
Okay, it looks like I am insane with these points but what we should have is the mindset of “why not both”. You don’t need to pick one.
Do not focus on the idea that you have inborn talents or gifts. You do not have to rely on talents alone. Keep hustling and working hard. Do not have a fixed mindset, always be open for learning.
Nowadays, there are observations that Millenials are getting entitled and on the other side, prior generations are not much open for recommendations. It can be more explained and be addressed in the book that I have read which I can recommend to you, the book Mindset: New Psychology of Success.
