Never let people know how hard you work


Rule #13 - Never let people know how hard you work

Be cool. Be relaxed. Be good at what you do. You'll have to work hard to be good, but never reveal how hard you work. Don't complain about how tough your job is. Just get it done and show people the results. And smile. 

- from Richard Templar's book The Rules of Work.
