The dark side of working hard: What you need to know

Productivity is not directly linked to hard work in terms of the number of hours put in the job. Narayana Murthy, founder of Infosys, has opined that you should work seventy or more hours a week to succeed and for your company and country to also succeed. Seven points are given to counter this concept and to suggest that this may not be a good idea either for you, the country, the organization or the economy. Some myths about the merits of hard work are removed.

It may be ok to work a lot before an important event like an exam or a software release. But regularly working too much can lead to imbalance in life and burnout. In Japan they have a word called Karoshi which means death by hard work. Often for older workers who kept pushing themselves too hard. Also do note I am not talking about time spent in office but actual work done after removing coffee or tea breaks, socialising, internet browsing etc.

@@academicgladiator yes most DAAD programs do need 2 year work experience but check details in their web page. DAAD is a good alternative to USA in case one wants to go to Germany. How to get the DAAD scholarship for Masters and PhD degree in Germany? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f329ip5vntigqa8
