The term "Work Smarter, Not Harder" really can ring true.

I have come to realize as I'm sure most have, that success isn't necessarily defined by how hard a person works, but by how they are able to out smart the majority.

For example, a person could work 60 hours a week as a manager at Burger King, they could work extremely hard, have to deal with a lot of problems and stress, and at the end of the day walk away with close to nothing, they worked hard, but burgers aren't that big of a money maker.

On the flip side, a man could work as a consultant, lawyer, pilot, surgeon, ect.

They might work 30 hours a week, but make more than double what the guy at Burger King makes, if their work harder? Maybe yes, maybe no. But they are paid more.

You could be the hardest working person ever, and be poor your whole life, or you could be the laziest person ever and be rich.

It may be weird, may seem unfair at times, but it's reality.

Same principal goes for people who store their money in Bitcoin, two people save the same amount of money, but the reality will be that the hodler's money grows, while the fiat saver's declines in value.

Success isn't always about who can work harder, but who can work smarter.
