Richest Man in Babylon: Chapter 10 – The Luckiest Man in Babylon

If you don't work hard and improve your skill, you will linger 

in the same position without making any progress.

You will receive no advancement. You will watch the world

passing you by, while you remain stagnant.

Keep improving your skillset and adding new skills to your arsenal.

"The man who does more than he is paid for

will eventually be paid for more than he does."

Do not engage in half hearted attempts.

Make decisions quickly, be decisive, and act promptly on your decisions.
If you want to succeed, you must act with a sense of urgency.

Not carelessness, but urgency. Think through your options,

and decide on the best path to take.

How can you make work your best friend?

Can you spot opportunities for improvement in your workplace

or your business? How can you plug these holes and deliver

such incredible value for which you will be rewarded handsomely?

"Decide what you want to accomplish,

and then work will aid you to achieve it."

"Babylon is an outstanding example of man's ability to achieve

great objectives, using whatever means are at his disposal."

In today's world, in the age of AI, how can you stand out

from your peers and be the linchpin upon which your company relies? Maybe more than hard work, you can incorporate smart work into

the equation and become unstoppable. If you're an employee,

what will you do to stand out in your organization?

If you're a business owner, what can you do to stand out

from the competition?

AI will take away most people's jobs. That's the truth. 

They tell us otherwise because they want us to embrace it.

But the truth is, we will lose our jobs to the machines.

Think about it this way, why would companies invest this much in AI

if AI was only an expense that wouldn't yield any cost savings for them?

In The Goal, Jeff Cox and Eliyahu Goldratt suggest that

for any business to make money, they need to increase

their throughput, and reduce inventory and operational expenses. People, human labor, is an operational expense.

AI will help companies fire people in favor of the more reliable,

more accurate, and more hardworking artificial intelligence.

So now the question is, how will you position yourself

in this new environment?
