Work Smarter Not Harder

It is ridiculous to think that being peaceful implies weakness.

If you want your peace, you must be willing to fight for it.

As in protests.

If you want to lead a war, you must be a pacifist.

As in manipulation.

Cream Rises, Work Smarter 
Miracle Man
8/28/2024

When doing any job, work smart, don’t stop
My mothers advice, “Cream rises to the top”
Her advice seemed sound,
and to it I became bound,
And at fifty-six I retired early chop chop.

You're probably wondering about the title
So explaining the meaning is quite vital
It's coz so many smarts
Are bursting us apart
So our extra smarts are stored in our brain walls

Liars

When you talk to me
My ears acts like sieve
My eyes know it all
My face can't stop smirking 
Cause even your lies 
Can't deceive me this time
I might be innocent back then
Letting me dance on your fingertips 
But trust me
I have become way smarter than I was

The Smarter Man

We take great pride in our knowledge
Each generation thinking they are smarter than the ones before
The problem, it's a subjective egocentric perspective
There's an air arrogance that's hard to ignore

Modern man truly thinks he is smarter
Than all the greats who have been adored 
They self-righteously say “they were ignorant”
“We are more sophisticated than ever before”

We see religions following cultures
Science has become subjective, selling feelings as facts
It appears man is the true measure of all things
We’re creating a world we can't give back

So, how do we overcome a life
Where we say we're blessed, yet in so much pain
The level of arrogance and avoidance
Punctuates the fact - most people never change

We've come to a precipice
Do we climb the mountain, or be content as life goes by?
We have to be willing to pay the consequences
Sit on our ass, or intentionally engage in life

Like an hourglass of sand
Who’s tiny grains have run dry
We can only hope for a better day
Perhaps we’ll have another try?

Learning To Work Smarter

We all have to work...
I finally work smarter, not harder
A true self-starter
I've mastered the Art of...
#1 Breeeaaathinnnggg, inhaling, exhaling
Inspired by Mr. Smart; so fitting
Straight-shooting, not curtailing. 

I've learned to scale my business
by aligning my tribe
Leaving people who want to survive
And attracting those that want to thrive

The Art of Patience
Marketing, Administrative Expertise!
Organizing your business plans, so profits you can see!

I have a passion for business
I have a love for transactions
I eliminated ego & improved my plan of action
Now... I am an Attraction!
I am in demand
My source is so abundant
I love to service & stand...

For the Art of seeing
And doing what we love
The Art of Being...
I love working smarter.

Do we think all pets are dumb?
Methinks they may be the smart ones
We feed them every day
Walk them when they say
So who's the smart ones since time's begun

Premium MemberSmarter, Faster, More Creative

Every generation thinks it's better than the previous one
   Smarter, faster, better-educated, more creative

What would be something refreshingly new under the sun
   ~ The next one admitting it's mostly imitative

My Cat Is Smarter Than Me

It is a hard thing to admit,
But I have to take the hit, 
As I can't make the facts fit anything else, 
If I want the truth to sit, 
Rather than stand up and spit.

Our cat learned in three years,
What I learned in thirty three, plus a few tears.

Our cat has a better set of ears,
As dinner for me just appears.

Our cat knows when to to make itself scarce,
While I, have all the makings for a farce.

Our cat is wise enough never to trust a dog,
While I, still walk in the fog.

Our cat goes walkabout when it feels like it,
We talk about it happening one day if we feel fit.

Our cat knows the best time to take a nap,
Without causing a flap.

When I decide to take a nap,
I keep hearing a dripping tap, 
Or a fly that has come in the door with the cat.

Shall we let it go at that, 
Before this poem falls flat.

Smarter People

Smart people live by the creed,
That it is better to look to your storage capacity,
Before developing your capacity for greed.

Smart people live by the creed,
That it is wise to develop your capacity to share,
If you want to meet what is only a sometimes need.

Smart people live by the creed,
That proper storage increases your capacity,
To avoid accidents that are possible with an increase in greed.

Smart people live by the creed,
That the bigger your share,
The bigger your storage need.

Premium MemberOlder Not Smarter

My foot is asleep.
Left it up too long with a heavy dictionary on it.
Could hobble into the house.
Not yet!
Okay. 
In two minutes?
My body is screaming NOOOOOOO!
I do not listen.
Let’s make it three minutes, I suggest.
Knowing better in every fiber of my being.
But not caring.
I am getting older,
not smarter.
Stand up.
Collapse.
Break the other hip.
Dhramn!

Smarter

Smarter than a dolphin golfing a par five with two raging rabid bears

Smarter than a blind man walking up seven uneven stairs

Smarter than a clunky monkey who takes your quarter at fairs

Smarter than a genius that keeps his mouth closed because no one cares

Smarter than a species that is not found and still out there

Smarter than Einstein's brain so step into my lair.   -TA
