Answer 7

Working hard is during the time of our grandfather and the babybommers... the next generation work smart unless their job is their dream career.
Anyway a job is just a job and it pays the bills and buys food, thats all. Dont be loyal to it or the employer. Get a better offer, please leave what ever you are doing and start afresh. Search yourself, what you are good at and love to do 24/7 without getting tired or bored; thats what you should be working towards for both hard and smart.
