Working smart is the opposite of working hard.
But ‘working smart’ IS the result of working hard.
You have to put in the hours before you see shortcuts. You have to learn details before you learn which details matter.
You have to fail many times before you discover how to do succeed.
The long way is the shortcut.

From Shane Parish’s Brain Food weekly newsletter…
I loved this conversation with Pepsi’s former Chairman and CEO, Indra Nooyi.
You’ll learn exactly how to rise to the top. You’ll also learn why you might not want to.
Here’s a story that I’ve been thinking about ever since:
One night after a big promotion, she rushed home full of excitement to share the big news. But her mother barely looked up before saying, “the news can wait, I need you to go out and get milk.” When Indra returned with the milk, she was furious, saying loudly, “I’ve just become president of PepsiCo, and you couldn’t just stop and listen to my news?”
“Listen to me,” her mother replied. “You may be the president or whatever, but when you come home, you are a wife and a mother and a daughter. Nobody can take your place. So you leave that crown in the garage.”
As she put it, “You don’t get to be CEO by being the perfect Mom, the perfect wife. You don’t. You do the best you can. It’s hard to make those sacrifices.”
