Work SMARTER Rather Than HARDER

The old school of thought have educated all our generations [UNTIL NOW] to work HARDER and that was non-negotiable.  Regardless of countries and cultures, that was the mantra that resonated across.  But hold on.  Does that hold water till now?  Unfortunately, that mindset has outlived its relevance because today, we got to SMARTER Rather Than HARDER
