Winners don't do things differently. They do different things

No, I haven't made a mistake in the title. The age-old saying, 'Winners don't do different things. They do things differently,' made famous by Shiv Khera in his book You Can Win, is, in my opinion, wrong.

How Sholay has played out in our lives again and again
I remember it was quoted a lot when the book came out. Every individual can be great. All you need to do is work hard, and 'work smart'. And every one would nod knowingly at the last clause. So that's what I did -- studied hard, went to a good B-school, got a great job and worked hard (and smart) there.
Unfortunately, that saying doesn't always apply. And it's becoming antiquated as 'technology eats the world' (to co-opt Marc Andreessen's pet phrase).
This mentality of doing things smarter now pervades all aspects of our life. But it suffers from one fallacy, which I call 'focusing on the numerator'.
It's like a company that focuses only on improving its profit margin. It brings in cutting-edge efficient machines and implements just-in-time production techniques. But with all these productivity improvements, how much could the profit margin increase? From 15 to 20 per cent? To 40 per cent? Is 100 per cent possible?
