Working Hard vs. Working Smart
The idea of 'working smart, not hard' is challenged as the speaker emphasizes the importance of working hard when one does not know what 'smart' work entails. The speaker argues that in the absence of a clear understanding of what efficient work looks like, putting in hard work is the key to progress. They suggest that consistent effort over time leads to improvement, even if focus diminishes slightly. Drawing on the example of programming excellence requiring 10,000 hours of focused practice, the speaker underscores that more hours of hard work yield better results than fewer hours. Through a hypothetical comparison of individuals working 80 hours per week versus 40 hours per week, the speaker asserts that the former will be substantially ahead in skill and progress after two years.
