 We are ruled that the more time we render to our work, the more successful we can be on it. But is it possible to accomplish more in half the time? When it comes to work, all of us have ideas, biases and theories about our work. For purposes of simplicity, let’s refer to them as “work tapes.” These are recorded messages about our work stored away in the recesses of our brain. These tapes have been our work style. All of them program our behavior and attitude from time to time. We acquire work tapes from sources such as parents, teachers, bosses, colleagues, experience, religion, the media and the government. Due to fast pace and compleity of life nowadays, these tapes have been incomplete truth, and at worst, total fantasies. Yet many of us play them automatically and practice their prescriptions with dogmatic zeal. The result is more work coupled with little or no accomplishment and accompanying frustrations. Read on and analyze if your work style is a myth – an old story! “The more you sweat, the more you get” When we are asked the key to our success, the first thing we attribute to it is hard work. Our modest example here is Thomas Edison’s “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” |
 We may a lot about hard work and success, but hard work and failure probably occur just as often. Some of us work hard at our jobs and get fired. Others work hard at marriages that fail. Still others study hard in school and fail to graduate, find a job or get promoted. Sometimes hard work does make the difference between success and failure. The problem is that we tend to overstate its value and ignore other equally important criteria for success. Fortunately or unfortunately, results are seldom if ever proportional to the buckets of sweats. Keeping your shoulders to the wheel and your nose to the grindstone only guarantees two things: a warped posture and a flat nose. “Activity means productivity” Many of us habitually confuse activity with results. We may usually measure our performance on how busy a person is. That's why in most offices, it is common to hear “Keep yourself busy”. The busiest beaver is deemed the best worker and is rewarded for busy behavior rather than results. It’s not enough to be busy. The question is what we are busy about. Next Page > |
