- jes 13y agoI think hard work is a necessary precursor to good results. Although, that hard work may not be of the kind most people associate with office work of the past.
- danbruc 13y agoFair point, hard work is not well-defined. I interpreted and meant it in the sense of throwing a lot of working hours at the problem. And I think this is not necessary for good results and may actually be counterproductive in some cases.
- wrongc0ntinent 13y agoFor my part, I think so is boredom.
- judk 13y agoThat's non-responsive. We know what the deaired outputs are. The question is what are the necessary inputs.
- pekk 13y agoIn that case, "more and more hours" is often not a necessary input
- tsenkov 13y agoWinning the lottery is a "good result", without a hard work. Moving a pile of dirt from one place to another, every day, is hard work without a purpose. Working hard (and smart) on problems you are passionate about gives you the best chance at succeeding. And about impressing someone with your work, I have a rule - impress yourself. :)
