Hard work is the origin of smart work. Hard work means completing work without any shortcuts. And only after completing that work perfectly we will be able to understand the steps or strategies that can be skipped or simplified in order to achieve the same result, and such a simplified way of working is smart work.

Hard work is that you are doing something without thinking any effective way.

Smart work is that you are doing same thing with the less work and getting more output.

I think hard work and smart work go hand in hand. Without doing hard work you cannot do smart work so both things are equally important.

Hardwork means reaching the floor through steps is hardwork.

Smartwork means reaching the floor through lift is smartwork.

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 is the origin of smart work.

Without hard work experience, you can not do smart work.

Hard work and smart work is the two side of a coin. So both are important.

Hard work means more related with physically, mentally, etc. And it is all about our will to do something.

Smart work means what are the strategies we used to achieve our goal.

Hard work means we will do a task until it completes.

Smart work means the task will be completed within the deadline or time limit.

One of the best example that I have from my childhood is hard work is like a staircase and smart work is like a lift, you may fail or get stuck sometimes but for sure I don't have much time and energy to choose a staircase.

The difference between hard work and smart work is based on how I approach my task. Hard work would be spending long hours to complete my work without any shortcuts. Smart work would be aiming for the same results but with planning and prioritization of tasks.
