Work Hard, Work Smart, Work Right

The old mantra for success was Work Hard (ie, maximise effort). Then the new mantra for success became Work Smart (ie, maximise efficiency). Which is correct? Of course, both working hard and working smart are important. But in this whole Hard Work vs Smart Work debate, we forgot the fundamental truth. Which is that every human has his/her own true potential – and so real success is finding out that true potential and using it. Hence the key to real success is to do the right work – ie, the work that uses our true potential. Thus the real mantra for success is not just Work Hard or Work Smart – but 'Work Right'!
