SFC James Sczymanski - I damn sure wouldn't be mad at cha! You bought it, and you get the privilege of riding wherever you want with a big cheese grin? Sounds like a winner to me.

My favorite line came from a young African American 1st LT when I was all of 17 years old and just arrived into the 101 ABN Div. I asked him where the mandatory "Race Relations" class was to be held for that morning's training, he replied that in this Army it was not called a "Race Relations Class" but a "Human Relations Class". That let me know I was part of a much more advanced society than was present outside the base gate.

That's a Capital Idea MSG Rice... We need to scrap all this "Color" and Racial differentiation... We're all members of the "Human Race"... and "Everybody Matters"! It's nice to know that First LT had his "Army Green" Head on Straight!
Equally worthless... No way man... if anything you was "equally Green"!

TSgt Hunter Logan - agreed. Some people will look for anything to get upset about and then it becomes accepted as a new term that we must be weary of because it's not PC anymore. This is just how it starts. I like being called a hard worker, it means I'm doing my job well and getting noticed

NO! For goodness' sake. Only in the mind of someone who's looking to race bait. A hard worker is a hard worker, and if others want to assign a race to that, then they're looking to stir up trouble, at least in my book.
Wow. That video is sickening - the definition of political correctness. MSNBC at its finest, I guess. Wow, just wow.

So, I've allowed people to be racist against me for 35 years? The first job I had was as a newspaper boy, they called me a hard worker because I delivered the paper even with two feet of snow on the ground. Wait, I just called myself a newspaper boy, is that racist? Do you think I can sue? Can I at least sue myself? Its about that ridiculous.

No CSM. Calling yourself a newspaper boy is not racist. That is gender discrimination. You were a newspaper person.

Only cotton-pickers and single mothers on welfare merit being called 'hard workers' because she has a photo of cotton pickers on her wall? Well, it could be worse--imagine being married to her?

"imagine being married to her?"
I can not, nor will I attempt any such self flagellation

CPO Andy Carrillo, MS, what a scary thought. It would be like being married to Tonya Rodham Bobbitt.

Only if you're a braindead idiot who paid a college a lot of money for a degree with zero marketable value and can only work for a low rated network that tried to pass itself off as "news." She went full retard...

Must have something against "hard". Hell, you have to go to hell and back to find a hard worker now-a-days.

I don't want to be a part of a society where people consider the term "hard worker" racist. Hard work is not synonymous with slavery, nor should it be something anyone should not be proud to be called. I'm a hard worker. Ask anyone who knows me.
Let me just say that hard work doesn't always mean someone is successful. My father used to say that he wanted me to work smart, not hard. I think what he meant was that he wanted me to get to a point in my career where using my brain was more prevalent than using my back. It takes hard work to get to that point, though. It's not just handed to you.

I think it depends on the mission. Occasionally the most effective move is not to be a hard charger and strategize, innovate, plan, or engineer a solution. Other times planning will just take too long. In that case, just getting dirty and using brute force is the correct method.
A couple of examples. In IT Engineering, sometimes an update needs to be done on say 200 different computer systems. It is a simple task, say just clicking a checkbox. This can be incredibly time consuming, creating a script to do this for all systems automatically would be a more effective move. This is where smarter will outweigh harder. On the flip side, let's take a problem that will require moving 25 objects that weigh 30 pounds each, 20 feet . Creating a contraption or a plan to make it easier, will most likely take longer than just sucking it up and moving them 1 by 1.
Then again, i guess you can argue that both are working hard and choosing a solution that fits the problem which is smarter. If that is the argument, then I would agree that an effective worker needs to have the brains to pick a good solution and a hard work ethic to execute the plan to completion, be it mental or physical.

Your last paragraph sums up, nicely, my point of working smart and hard. It's always a mix of the two that yields the best outcome.

I agree Capt. I think we use the term "hard worker" to liberal now-a days. What I call "work" is physical labor. In your case, I would call it dedication. I heard the same words and went the same route to get my MBA. maybe it was work --but not like the farm--but it was the dedication that got me thru(plus lots of support). Your dad was a wise man.

One thing's for sure Capt. Schulz;... the term is most probably the "antithesis" of what ever Ms. Harris-Perry is...! She probably hasn't done what most of us would call "hard work" ever in her over-presumptuous life.

Miss See my Tampon earrings is a babbling nut. It must be an interesting thing to see how the writers come up with such garbage.
