2 A - This weeks reading

I found the reading in the Work Hard or Work Smart article in the Freedom Personal Development Blog the most interesting.  I think the most important and useful information I got out of reading this is that there is not one way or the other.  It is a combination of both, working hard and working smart, which will help you succeed in both the workplace and in life.  There were two tips that I learned. They are working smart = making a plan, and working hard = working the plan. 

Working Smart = Making a Plan “Then, work your tail off. Work harder than you thought possible. You have way more in you than you can imagine. You are stronger than you think you are, you are more creative than you believe yourself to be, you are infinitely more powerful than you believe you are and you can reach that summit”

Working Hard = Working the Plan “But be careful, don’t forget to keep the smart part of the equation. Before your week starts or your day starts, get an assessment, get your plan in order, and then get after it again. And just so we’re clear, this goal can be applied to any area of your life: a sales goal, a grade in a class, a better marriage, a stronger relationship with a child or parent, or a health goal.

I feel that these tips are the best ones because, in my opinion, they both represent ways to help achieve success in both the work place, and in everyday life.  I could start to apply these to my  daily activities immediately. I can see how they would start helping me in my college years.
