My name is Beverly Mau

June 21, 2009

Who cares?

Blogging is so funny – it’s a constant, “look at me, look at me, look at me!”

My name is Beverly Mau, and my thought for right now is this: is it harder work or smarter work that counts?

Always been in the “harder work” camp, but, after having had a conversation with a higher level management type, can’t deny that “smarter work” pays.

I guess working smarter means we do what we’re suppose to do, only with time left over to golf or play tennis or whatever. That’s smarter. To convey our message in less than a sentence, get the sale, pay the bills, go to bed.

You get the picture.

In my bones, I’ve got the “work harder” genes. In society, who I see getting promoted is not necessarily the work harder camp, but a combination of “work harder and smarter”.

Cheers!

    Sadly, I seem to always be willing to work hard for a few cents than smart for a few dollars. Even when I could have done either, I guess I’ve felt more honest with the “hard” choice. Not sure it’s valid, but I seem to be there.
