For me I reckon hard work is exerting a lot of physical effort to achieve a desired result while Smart work is applying mental and innovative way of executing tasks to arrive at a far more better result with less effort.

Those who are enjoying in a company are Smart Workers, and they will get everything they ask. But Hard workers wont get anything they ask, their duty is to finish works within stipulated time as as per instructions from Hireups. Actually they have no time to rap with higher officials as the Hardworkers do.

Let us suppose you are given a task to shift 10 chairs from one room to another. Each chair takes you 1 min to move b/w the two rooms. Now, if you move those chairs one by one, it takes you exactly 10 minutes. You have completed the task, but this shows you are hard working. However smart work comes into play when one keeps two chairs on top of the third one, and then shifts them to the other room. It will take him 4 minutes to complete the job.

I wants to give an example regarding hardwork and smartwork.

Once there was an old man in a village he said to his two sons that you have to cut the jungle of trees.

The old man give two axes to his sons.

1st son takes his axe and starts to cut all these trees, and this task takes 3 hours to complete.

2nd son takes his axe and starts to cut trees but he use to sharpen his axe after using his axe for 10 minutes, and he takes 1. 30 hours complete the task (smart work).

2nd son does his work smartly.

Friends, I think this story help you a lot is determining difference between smartwork and hardwork.

Smart work-using logical thinking to reduce the time for complete the particular task.
But hardwork is only put the lot of effort to achieving particular task.

I would like to take an example!

Teacher asks: Write down the reasons which displays your laziness.
Student 1: Thinking, struggling and writing the reasons (Hard work).
Student 2: Writes nothing and replies to teacher I am lazy to write (Smart work).

Its like the ATTITUDE is displayed in smart work while in handwork its INTELLIGENCE and MEMORY.

Hard work, basically it is a work done with maximum efforts but it is not necessary you will get the same and positive output for same but smart work is a work which is done by using our skills with a minimum efforts and it will give always positive output.

For Ex-A employer who present a project in a very effective way using his skills, easily grasp the deal but on other hand who work hard for same project but cannot present it in well manner then he becomes loser. That's a difference.

Hard Work: It can be defined as that work where you strengthen up your project by making it totally invulnerable, at the cost of much time.

Smart Work: It is that work which is done on the basis of prevailing conditions. Eg. When you have time you may go for a lengthy and tedious path, but in case of lack of time, you have to find some shortcut to fulfill your task, ommiting the weak portions of your work.

In my view both smart work and hard work are one and the same and both are done out of lot of stress.

But in hard work we give more stress physically and mentally and in smart work the stress will be on the brain.

My thought Hard work is film director then smart work is actor. So actor (smart worker) only get all the reputation compared to the film director (Hard worker). But film director (hard worker) knows all the things. Some times film director (hard worker) may be act the film then become the actor (smart worker).

As per my opinion, hard work is something in which we put in a lot of hours and effort working and get good results and success. Smart work is something in which we upgrade our knowledge to do the work at a faster pace than expected and coming out with success. So, both are positive, but today's modern era expects everyone to do Smart work because Time is less and lots needs to be done.

In a cricket match a team needs 1 run from 1 ball if a batsman hits 1 its a hard work else he hits a 6 its a smart work because in a last time all fielders came inside the circle batsman had a full of pressure to take single thats why I here intimate single is a hard work.

In my view, hard work defines that the work is hard and smartwork defines that the work is smart.

For example: To reach top floor of a multi-storied building, taking staircase should be described as hardwork and taking the lift should be described as smartwork.

Hard Work is that when we do not have sufficient and exact knowledge about the task have to do.so to complete that work with more efforts,to make it successful,is Hard Work.

Smart Work is that when we have a little bit of knowledge about the task and to do that work with more innovative way with less efforts,to make it successful,is Smart Work.
