People pay you for solving their problem and not for how hard you work
Hard-working is something that is misunderstood. There were times when people work really hard during their young age to reap the fruit during the old age. This can be a suitable quote for the farmers probably because they work really hard during the sowing season and chill a little bit during the harvest season. This cannot be applicable to every nature of work. Especially when you are someone solving the problems of others.
People working in IT are the ones who solve a lot of real-world problems in the form of automation. I'm going to be talking from that perspective. If we want to make money by solving problems for others, projecting how hard we work is not going to help at all. We have to do smart work and let the work we do project our quality. People get paid only based on the quality of work and not based on the quantity of work.
In some cases, people who are capable of solving the more complex problems will be evaluated high and they also get a chance to get paid heavily. Demand and supply work here too. If the people available to solve complex problems are very less, they can demand a high pay to work. This is how it works. Smart working is something like choosing a nature of work that is equally difficult as well as high paying. In that case, people can work fewer hours per week and get paid enough to run their life.
Many people find it very hard to understand the truth that we get paid more only if we make a huge difference to others. The more value we can provide others, the more valuable we become and indeed wealthier as well. This applies only to people who work for others and the ones who satisfy the needs of others.
Hard work sometimes keeps us fully occupied all the time and there will not be any "me" time or any family time. This keeps increasing the stress factor and we will not even know that we are stressed out. Sometimes people interacting with us might find it out but it is usually not realizable. Earning a lot of money with too much stress is not going to help us unless we still find a way to enjoy our life and live our lives by having 100 different things with us to keep us calm and composed.
Some people strongly believe that hard work really pays off. If not immediately it definitely pays off in the long term. That is not entirely true I would say. I would say that it also depends on where we put the hard work and efforts. Sometimes hard work put in the wrong place may not give anything in return. This also doesn't mean that we shouldn't be doing hard work at all. We can do hard work but we have to make sure the hard work we do is equally valued or not. If hard work is going to be creating too much stress, it is definitely not a good way to earn but instead a harmful way to earn money.

I totally agree with you on this because I believe your special skills only makes you a little different from others to get a higher pay and at the same time is not your hardwork but your services rendered that is appreciated
But hard work is still the part of the equation, just coming up with a solution is not enough. Getting that thing implemented and seeing it through and through is in the picture too. That sometimes take a serious grinding.

Also worth considering, is the person paying you a corporation or a private person. A private person usually will expect more than a commercial enterprise, but that is also speculative.
It's an even trade-off for the most part. You are either my employer or my customer and in both cases you are solving a problem in one aspect or another. I believe that today's mentality, especially the younger generation; that there is an expectation that you are entitled to something when no one really owes you anything but what was agreed upon.
I work for you or I am providing you a service and you pay me.
With all that said, we ourselves know our value and the ultimate question is; whether we solve problems or work hard for the money - is it equal to the value you put into it.
@bala41288 - it's definitely a great topic to ponder
I'll be sharing this post on ListNerds
Thanks for your comments and sharing. Cheers!
Hard work can work against you. If you go above and beyond all the time it becomes what is expected. When I had people working for me, I did my best to show them how to work smarter not harder.
I have to agree. Most of the stuff we get paid for is the work we get done and it doesn't matter how long you spent on that. However, I do think that the current system is a little inefficient as there are quite a few jobs that pay hourly. In a way, the current system is from the 9 to 5 workday and its to keep people busy.

Well, another fantastic post from a person I have not been following. Thanks to ListNerds I now am.
Here is a quote I love "It takes just as much energy to make a 10 dollar sale as it takes to make a 1 million dollar sales".
Let that sink in ;)

Working hard vs. Working Smart, we all know that working smart will always prevail. However, we must be careful not to fall into the over analyzation trap. 15 minutes of work will always be better than 15 minutes of thinking about work.
You are correct sometimes working hard is not the answer, however hard work for anyone starting or running their own business is essential to success.
Absolutely, I agree with your points.
Thank you 👍
