The Fantasy of Working Smart

Hard work beats working smart every time. The concept of working smart is promoted by self-help geniuses and other common folklore to lure the lazy into believing there are quick fixes to achieving goals. Positive thinkers believe they can go around, go over, or go through a mountain of problems. In reality the only way through the mountain is by tunnel. Only the successful are willing to slug it out through the muck and dirt, drilling and hauling their way through the mountains of obstacles to reach their goals.

The problem with positive thinking is the thinking part. Those who wish to dream about positive possibilities are missing the most important element – taking action.  Action is the most important element of a thought. It is the “power of doing” that yields the achievement of the goal. 

Twitter Too Tiny

Some thoughts are too big to fit inside Twitter. Sometimes more words are necessary for full expression. This can happen when the writer must herd the maverick reader toward a desired outcome.
During peak periods of information overload, people become too preoccupied to comprehend nonsense disguised as excessive text. This is when Twitter hits the target with its concise wording.
