Let me share a story. Growing up, my generation was introduced to the slogan: "Don't work hard, work smart." At first, it seemed like good advice, because the argument was that even a rickshaw puller works hard but struggles to make ends meet. To promote their books and philosophies, the "word gurus" of the time equated hard work with physical labor. The message? Avoid hard work and focus on working "smart." This idea gained traction, leading to a dismissive attitude toward people in physically demanding jobs. The flaw in this philosophy was its misrepresentation of hard work. It was never just about physical effort; it was about perseverance, overcoming challenges, and not giving up. But the "word gurus" twisted its meaning, reducing hard work to mere physical labor and ignoring its true essence: dedication, resilience, and relentless effort. I’m sharing this because every few years, similar philosophies pop up, but at their core, they’re mostly just wordplay—nothing more.
