Smart Work!


I’ve been mentioning the fun i always have at my workplace. And as that is mostly because i have to deal with lots and lots of students, of all kinds and varieties, it makes it sure that something or the other always happens which is utmost funny!
I’d written about my funny GD PI experiences. That batch has finally started and fortunately, we’ve got really good students.


But, our college also undertakes few activities where other students are also involved, one of them being an English diagnostic test. We have designed many comprehensive tests like psychometric tests, verbal communication test, and etc.. The process is very simple, a candidate has t give the test, and based on the results, we give counseling and guidance.

While going through answers of such tests, i found out a paper for English diagnostic test, which was given by a candidate who was already a graduate! He’d given correct answers to almost all the grammar, verbal and reading comprehension questions. But i donno what happened in the last section, where they were suppose to write a small essay. The topic was “Smart work is better than hard work”. Sounds simple? Well, this is exactly what this ‘smart’ candidate has written. Read along:

Work. The word ‘work’ means to do something. Every action comes under the word ‘work’. It is the only common thing which never ends. Every body has to do some work. It means anything done for ourself or other it is said to be work. Nowadays, everybody is scarce of doing work.
There are various types of works. All the works done has some motive in it. Without motive a work is not done to an extent. Working as an labourer in an manufacturing industry has also an motive. The motive behind that labour is to earn money for his livelihood. But as a labour he has to do physical work whole day and all he has earn is a little amount of money.
Nobody likes to work. Therefore any person who works is paid for the work done by him. The word paid express for which the work is being done working with an corporate firm and having hundreds of labour working under is better option than working with hundred of labours. Being on key position of a company is likely to all.
It is a better option to be in sitting in an airconditional office rather than to work as an peon in that office. The peon has to hear a lot from the staff over him. He has to work whole time giving them files, water, tea, etc.
Teaching job means its an type of work in which a teacher has to teach the same think to the class whole life. For example, an English teacher of 5th class has to teach English subject to the same class for the his whole life by getting paid for it. Being an principle is best than beaing an teacher.
And therefore, smart work is better than hard work.


After this, i really wonder how we would counsel this kind of students. I kept laughing for such a long time!

Anybody has any idea!?

Is he jobless...

that was funny....the only way to counsel him is to ask him what he means by smart work and put him to do it

mmaybe not...the other option is to make him do different work...and let him categorize what he like - that will be smart for him - and will keep him busy

RADhika said...

@ ceedy,
yes, that can be done! at least that'll keep his mind busy! :D

Waise munna ki baat mein dum toh hai!

The person in the AC that he talked about is considered smarter than the labourers, even if only by virtue of his education.

Smarter person -> Smarter work.

And such work pays more money and prestige for less sweat. So such 'smart work' is better than 'hard work'

So the point about white collared work and blue collared work seems quite valid.

Just an unexpected but perfectly valid alternate interpretation of topic if you think about it.

After all, your parents told you the same thing through school and college I guess, that study so that you get such 'smart work' job instead of 'hard work' job
