Hard work is basically when extra efforts are put into achieving something. But on the other hand, smart work is accomplishing something by tackling things intelligently and a bit of effort.

Smart work proves to be much more efficient, especially in today's context when the world is moving faster than ever.

We have to work hard to work smart, because without working hard, one won't get the chance to work smart.

Working smart without working hard means that one don't want to sharpen his skills. Working hard and not getting success is worthless and working smart without getting the skills developed is worthless.

I think the difference is,

When the person is new to the work. He doesn't know the easy methodology to get the work done so he works hard. As time flies away he gets some experience to do that job and he finds the shortcut to the same work. That is Smart work.

I think hard work is the mother of Smart work.

Hard work gives experience and takes a long time to get success.
Smart work comes from experience and takes a short time for success.

Hard work means putting in a lot of time and effort doing a certain amount of work. Whereas, smart work means spending less amount of time performing the same amount of work.

We can study in a specified period of time if hard work is combined with commitment and effort. Here, success is a given. However, in smart work, one can achieve success by thinking smartly because success is measured by careful preparation, innovative thinking, expertise, and effort, among other factors.

HARD WORK:
- Spending a lot of time.
- Doing a lot of things.
- Old Ideas.

SMART WORK:
- Spending less time.
- Doing the right things.
- Creative ideas.
- For Eg; Suppose a hardworking student spends 10 hours to complete 10 chapters, whereas a smart work student spends 1 hour to complete 10 chapters.

Hard work gives you experience and is nothing but increase your stress.

Smart work comes with experience and is simple way to achieve your motto.

I will say one real time example if you are going to the top floor through steps is hard work and you are going to top floor through lift is smart work.
