Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2019
- While expending more effort, especially more mental effort, is helpful in 9 out of 10 problems, we should accept the fact that this strategy doesn’t always work. And in fact, it occasionally makes things worse.

Love the quote at the end,"To a hammer everything looks like a nail, but sometimes life gives us screws".
I remember B.H. Liddell Hart explaining how in strategy, the longest way around is often the shortest way there. He has a good point, as a direct approach to the object exhausts the attacker and hardens the resistance by compression, whereas an indirect approach loosens the defender's hold by upsetting his balance.
"To a hammer everything looks like a nail, but sometimes life gives us screws". Powerful!
I don’t understand this please explain.
@@MrHada007 If you always try to solve problems the same way, you are limited to the options you can take. In this case talking about hard work, you wanna solve everything by working more, instead of trying to work smart and get same or better results by developing systems that are more effective. You wanna give the same solutions to different situations or "trying to hammer the screws". I don't know if I explain myself.
Hard work only tires you out.. work smart!
And hard
Alan Watts: Backwards Law: said something along the lines of: The harder you try to get something, the more it reinforces the fact that you lack it.
Much of the progress in the world came from innovation and creative thinking.
Working smart, then, is the key and the basis to getting ahead in any arena!
But couple working smart with working as hard as humanly possible.. And the results you get become astronomical... 🔥🔥
Exactly. Do as much smart work as you can!
Hard Work is good, only for the employer :D
Hard work in a right direction can get you *almost* whatever materialistic thing/milestone you want.
For psychological needs, it will never work!!
Hard work is great but will never beat "smart work"...People hire the most skill people to solve problems(plumbing, electric, car etc.)and solve them faster
The question of life, stress, and work/rest cycles is not really about those areas until you answer:
Purpose
What am I created for? Are you doing that? Do you get enjoyment out of the hard work towards goals?
Is what you are doing good for me, others, and society? Do you have a destination/dream/ vision you are working towards
Most people get terrible sleep due to not fulfilling their purpose, bad eating/ sleep habits, and no real vision or goal
When you sleep you should be so tired with excited celebration, all energy gone, fulfilled, and amazing sleep will happen
One thing more important than trying harder is having the right strategy to accomplish her goal. 🔥🔥🔥
We really need to be flexible in dealing with problems instead of blindly working hard-
"Prepare for none of it won't work" from the book obstacle is the way . The important is we do our best even it didn't work.
I worked so hard in my school work, i did more than10 hour days during my exams and i still did so awful. It was a moment of realisation for me, life is unfair
I thought this video was going to go a different direction, because I had a similar experience. In middle school I was having a terrible time in school, stressed out, not getting particularly good grades. It seemed like the more effort I put in, the worse I did.
So I finally gave up. I just stopped trying. And I was surprised by the results. I felt less stressed. My grades started improving.
I think it was a similar thing - the harder I tried, the more I focused not on the work but on paying attention, doing a good job, not slacking off, this increased my stress, made it difficult for my brain to just naturally soak up information as I tried in vain to try to make sense of and organize it all.
I understand you.LIFE IS NOT FAIR
same school experience with my grades
If you are using the wrong methodologies or calculations/formulas it doesn't matter how hard you work. I did the same as you and I found it the way I studied that made me fail.
"You cant afford food? Just work harder, issue solved"
"You're depressed? Just dont be depressed, issue solved"
"You're homeless? Just go to college and stop being lazy"
"You cant jump over this 10 feet wall? Just try jumping higher"
For me working hard *and* smart really is the key
Edit: i always think if there's a way to do a certain task with better results but with less effort. Sometimes there is, making working hard stupid.
On the note of falling asleep, focused breathing has never failed me, and usually if my mind starts imagining a plot it quickly becomes a dream and I fall asleep, so I've begun (when I'm struggling to fall asleep) giving myself scenarios like "walking around rome" or something and just letting the dream begin.
Hustle is great but you need a plan and to always measure your results so you can improve
Applying this to my animations have really helped me out. Sometimes I spend like 8 hours on a scene and it ends up being crap. other times I spend like 2 hours and it turns out better.
Thanks for the video, you touched the core of my problem with sleeping for more than 4 years. Thanks
That makes so much sense, in regards to not being able to fall asleep. And I literally just experienced the phenomenon you were describing. As I was typing the comment, I made a typo, and I kept tying to click on the typo, but my mouse pad was being weird and not clicking, so I clicked harder and nothing. Then I realized, my pinky was touching the end of the mouse pad and throwing the clicking off! Work smarter, not harder! XD
The thing is people don't care if you work hard. All they care about is the quality of your work.
Don't work hard. Work smart.
very underrated channel
It's hard to accept because it takes a lot of energy and mental drainage to accept that we need to change what we do.
Whenever I run into obstacles I flip through a page of Marcus Aurelius meditations. That book is like 2000 year old Book on CBT
It took me 20 years to figure this out on my own. Wish you would've had this video to share 20 years ago.😄
Hard work is not needed when you have the right resources, methods, and money. Hard work is only needed when you’re the employee trying to achieve the same income as your employer.
Have a go. Put in the hard work & give it your best shot. The results are beyond your control. Yes, there are critics, but YOU know when you've done a good job. You can only do your best...what else is there? ..someone else's opinion? Surely you know your scene & what's best for you.
Isn't this like the saying, What you fear you will attract
Love your page. Ever since I subscribed to your page my ideas have been cooking and live!!! Very inspirational and motivational. Helped my page a a lot!!!!
I think as we get older, we out grow worries. In other words, it's not worth worrying. I can see myself losing sleep when I was a young person, but now, more mature, nothing is worth worrying about.
Great video
Trying harder is not always a good idea. That leads us to explore many other strategies to solve our issues. Be creativity in problem-solving. There are tons of methods out there. Do not always stick to one: working hard/harder.
Sometimes, trying harder makes you exhausted. You must find balance in all things but dont forget to staying calm and inspired in all endeavors in life.
Hard work without a plan or known payoff for you is not worth it. The focus should be asking if something is worth spending the time before acting. Its also about leveraging knowledge, talent/skills, and breaks you get. The real currency is time, so focus on doing things that don't take too much time to get the most payoff.
thanks for the video
All about the water, studying, working, exercising, staying away from the mainstream drinking culture, and eating right. However, brain re-wiring is best performed when everyone should at least have a day, let’s say Sunday, of rest.
I am engineer, and whole industries are paradoxical problems, as management is trying harder to solve problems while going in wrong direction, and more tools they "invent" to define and solve problems, further from solving problems they get.
Did you come up with this anedote trying to come up with a video idea for this week? ;) Seems rather light on the examples. Good channel. Cheers.
Just live in the moment.☮️
If the solution evades me I put the matter on my mental back burner. Not forgotten but not obsessed over either. Often the solution comes on its own within a few weeks.
I think valuing and promoting productivity is way better than valuing hard work.
"To a hammer everything looks like nails but, sometimes life gives us screws." ahh I like that!
Well, Keith Richards has never steered me wrong before...
I’m tired of trying.
I’ve tried for 2 years, I tried hard.
I would have to give what I don’t have. And I can’t get it.
I just have to be lucky.
Hard work works for the person above you.
Just because you worked hard on it, doesn't mean it's good.
Hardwork DON'T pay off
I worked hard to learn better how to drive and still got disappoinyment
Don't ever try hammering a screw, unless you're trying to Break it.
It would be most helpful to get a few examples of OTHER problems that behave in the same way. Falling to sleep is kind of obvious.
like will be given.
In a lot of Sports it does not make sense to train more than One Hour per day...
Traif?
Ohhhhhhh....of course, traif
So, basically "just do it, but hakuna matata"
Summary: Do not think work when you are about to sleep.
Master
Don’t work harder, work smarter.
Yeapp
Nice Perspective. But the example could had been more interesting to nail the concept. You have raised my expectations for your videos basis your past work. Good Work though.
But what does "working hard" even mean??!!
Work smarter not harder
Hard work pays off for bums, kiss asses, and if your part of the incrowd
Yay first
Haha fighting a bad trip too
