Work smarter, not harder.

My dad always tells me this: you work smart, not hard.

so, once upon a time there was a village very very far from everywhere else. The village had no water unless rain falls. The villagers were worried that the water would run out one day, so the village head needs to take action. He gave out 2 exclusive contracts for 2 persons to supply water for the village. the villagers will pay them for the water but the water must come consistently. So Ed, one of the 2 that has the contract were ovverwhelmed by this 'opportunity'. So he invested on 2 buckets and a cement tank for the villagers to take water from. Day by day, he wakes up earlier than the villagers to make sure there is enough water for the villagers by the time they wake up. Everyday, he works hard day till night, taking water from the lake all the way to the village. Ed was happy, because money was pouring into his pockets. Bill, on the other hand, disappeared for a while. Ed was happy that there was no competition around, so he can earn his hard money by the villagers on a daily basis. Bill went off to town for 6 months. After 6 months, he came back to the village with 4 investors, a contractor, and some workers with a long, stainless steel pipe. He built the pipe to connect the lake with the village, and left the villagers to take water from the pipe themselves as a few workers collected money. Soon, the villagers went to Bill's place to ge water because it was cleaner than Ed's. Ed knew he was facing tough competition, so he lowered the price by 75% and added 2 more buckets to get the water. As time grew, Bill's account grew too. Ed was losing strength as he carried 4 buckets filled with water everyday, back and forth from the lake to the village. When his sons went to study, he said to his sons, "hurry back, someday this business will be yours". His sons never came back and soon Ed hads to hire workers. These workers wanted higher pay, and more benefits. They also wanted to carry only one bucket per trip, which makes it slower to get more water. Bill knew that if this village needed water, other villages need water supply too. So hewent to other villages and installed a pipe in each of the villages. Now alot of villages were using his servise to get water, so Bill neednot to work anymore but money is still filling his pockets on a daily basis. So, Bill lived happilly ever after while Ed spent his ass working for hard-earned money, forever and ever after. The end.

So who u wanna be? Ed? or Bill?
