Hard working is simply working hard and not finding or executing any easier techniques or methods to do them in an easier way. People who work hard spend most of their time in doing a particular work only.

Smart worker those who execute their plans in a smarter way and deal with situations in a smarter way.

Hard work based on physical strength without thinking about smart work. Smart work based on mental ability to decrease the work burden for present generation smart work is more important than hard work to save time and stress.

Time is the most precious thing in the world and it cannot return for anyone is the saying I am hearing from the childhood. So saving time is more important and we can do it with smart work.

Hard work also important because smart ideas will come through hard work only.

Smart work basically deals with your mental aptitude and intelligence. How you do the exact same kind of work in different more efficient ways.

Hard work deals with a predefined path which is definitely going to take you to your destination. It may not define your intelligence but it surely defines your gratitude, discipline and obligation towards your work.

Hard work is put yourself as physically for definite work.

In smart work, people are present physically and mentally for assign job. So it is good for the organisation.

Hard work -taking long time to achieve success.

Smart work -mentally finding short cuts and decisions to reach success in short period.

I think smart work is the way of doing hard work for Eg. If you are preparing for a certain competitive exam it will be good if you plan your preparation smartly and work harder on it you will definitely succeed but if you only work hard for it without any smart planning than chances for you getting selected will be reduced. So both hard and smart work are inseparable from achieving a target you require both.
