Posted in Uncategorized on September 27, 2009 by wjwjCaterina.net: Working hard is overrated
Posted in Uncategorized on September 27, 2009 by wjwjMuch more important than working hard is knowing how to find the right thing to work on. Paying attention to what is going on in the world. Seeing patterns. Seeing things as they are rather than how you want them to be. Being able to read what people want. Putting yourself in the right place where information is flowing freely and interesting new juxtapositions can be seen. But you can save yourself a lot of time by working on the right thing.
