Become the Best
What are you really good at? You have a lifetime to become really, really, really good at something. You need to put in the effort and the time to get better at your choice area - and get better every day. Most people do not even try to get better every day. At best they start making an effort one week before their annual performance review. They want to get some positive results to put down - and pretend that it was a whole year’s worth of good effort.
Don’t be lazy. Don’t be apathetic. Don’t pretend to to be working.
Set out to be the best in the world at your chosen profession or skill. Work on it every day.

"That is all fine. But what if I am not good enough to "be the best"? What if I am pretty average? What is the people I work with are smarter than I am?

I would respond to James that "smart" is relative. But all of us are able to work hard while we are on the job. We all have the opportunity to ask for wisdom and guidance from the old-hands. We all have the opportunity to be the best that we can be. If you do that, you will out perform many people who are naturally smarter than you, but who are too lazy or too dumb to put those smarts to work.
