Hard work means without any planning we are doing any work throughout day and night.

But smart work means first think that the work which you want to do what are the possible ways to do it so that with minimum input you can get maximum output and then do work.

Hard work is spending all the necessary time, effort and mental abilities with the flexibility to achieve the desired end results.

Smart work is a computer (computerized), it does work correctly and accomplishes according to the programming but rather static.

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.

I think, Hard work is done against the conditions whereas Smart work can be done by doing conditions in favour of work.

For example, if we want to extract out water from a well- Against the gravity is hard work whereas with the help of pulley is smart work.

I believe hard work is a well done huge project has been done under a good management and organisation with all achievements.

Smart work is related to the result of any improvement which upgrades the same huge project and turns it into a motivated project.

Hard work is doing the given work efficiently and with full concentration by giving your 100%.

However, smart work is doing the given work in less time resulting in the shortcut to success but may not last long.

Deep Study is a must for excellent results.
