Should I Work Hard or Be Smart?

I think that working hard is more important than to be smart. I feel this way because not all people are the smartest but if you give 100% effort then eventually it will pay off. I have had an experience that proves this. When I tried out for the 7th grade volleyball team I didn't know a lot about volleyball. I still made the team because I gave it my all. This in the end did pay off because once you work hard you can try to learn or pick up on all the smarts! That is what happened for me so now what I do is just try and learn the details later. I had a really good season in volleyball because I had the right attitude!
