Hard work does not always lead to success. Most of the time, it just leads to more work.

To be precise: Fast work leads to more work.

More like nonsmooth work leads to more work.

Smooth is fast

At my current job, people keep remarking how fast I unload a truck.

I just laugh to myself. I’m not fast - I just work at a steady pace and utilize efficient methods.

I know and have know plenty of people that can move faster than me but its almost always at the expense of their quality.

I just see no reason to be ‘the fastest gun in the west’ if you can’t hit the broadside of a barn.

I had a different direction in mind actually. My experience is that if I work fast (or rather faster than the slow colleagues) while delivering good work, I just get more work from my boss because I have time. If I slow down so everyone is at the same pace, I have less work in the end. This is why I think a fixed 40 hour work week is shit. Let me go if I’m done with my tasks.
