When we work hard to produce a situation or a result and in the end it somehow doesn’t work out, we usually end up saying “I gave it my best shot, what else could I do?” and so on.

Here is another uncommon perspective and is worth pondering over…

“It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required. ”
- Sir Winston Churchill

This is especially relevant in our times of turmoil, challenges. Rather than blindly going about working hard and ‘giving our 150%‘, may be we should take a little bit time to figure out what is it this situation demands or requires me to do and smartly getting to work on those items; this would make a world of difference to our mood and our energy.
