How much of your "working smarter" can you attribute to your earlier "working harder" years?
With computers, I believe that almost all of my "working smarter" can be attributed to the sweat-equity I placed in working long hard hours when I was a young tot -- I didn't know any better, and I loved tinkering on a computer into the wee hours of the night.
- mikeleeorg 15y agoI totally agree. I think most of my "working smarter" came as a direct result of "working harder." And especially, in making mistakes. I don't remember the exact wording of the adage right now, but it generally rings true for me: "You remember a third of what you hear, half of what you read, and all of what you do." So if I hadn't put in all of that sweat equity & hard work (and mistakes!) in the first place, I wouldn't have gotten to this point today. (And I hope I'm not giving the impression that I think I've got it all figured out - I don't. Relative to where my mind was a decade ago though, I think I'm in a better place.)
