think a little

            When you tell a kid not to do something, why do most of them do it? For example, in the video "Don't eat the marshmallow" a few 4 year olds were tested and put in a room and were told to "not eat the marshmallow" for 4 minutes, and if they didn't eat the marshmallow, they got a second marshmallow to eat. What this tested was that when these kids got older, if they would succeed or not. In my opinion, i think this is somewhat a good plan to see how successful these kids will be in the future but then again, we were all 4 once, and we can somewhat remember what it was like and i know that if there was candy in front of me and i had to just sit next to it for 4 minutes, i'm not sure if id pass the test! That's a hard task for a little kid, especially for that long, to a little kid that could seem like a day to a teenager. 
              So, work hard, or work smart? Tom Weber says that both are your best bet. I think i'd have to agree. Working hard is always working, not stopping until its done, no cutting corners just to get done, and always doing your best job on it (in my words). But working smart, is almost the opposite. Working smart is cutting corners, skimming the edge with any assignment your given. Although your cutting corners while being a smart worker though, your still doing your job and doing well. So therefore both are wise decisions and great work ethics.
