There is a lot of ways to complete a work but a hard worker doesn't choose the easy track he blindly put his all efforts that consumes a lot of energy and time. A smart worker applies his mind and chooses that track that consumes less energy and time.

Smart work helps you achieve the desired or better output with very less time and effort by using advanced techniques or by using some different ideas.

Hard work helps you complete a task utilizing the time properly and getting the desired output.

When any task is assigned.

Hard work is we don't know what exactly we are doing, during the process we explore and it gives us experience and the other hand, smart work is exact way of taking the task to a higher level which comes from experience.

Working hard means working more with less skills and knowledge that tend to take more time and more energy.

Working smart means working less with available skills and knowledge by organising it in best available manner to achieve it done on time.

Hard work is doing a particular work with physical abilities, lot of time and it is a tedious work.

Smart work is applying mental efforts rather than physical work to reduce time and energy. It is the work in the creative way to get more results.

Hard work means I am spending more time to finish any work. Planning is less however physical effort is there to finish any work.

Smart work means I can finish my work with good planning or mental effort to reduce the time on completing any work.

According to me, both hard work and smart work are important in everyone's life. The situations that you are facing should decide the type of the work that you need to do. The hard work needs effort and time but smart work doesn't need any effort.

In my childhood, I use to do hard work because at that stage I don't know the difference between both and I use to mug up all the things. But now in this stage, I know how to utilize my time and learn things very quickly. So, now I do Smart work.

Hard work is long term process but it is the standard part to develop a company.

Smart work is the short term process it can develop a company as fast it can. But in my point of view both hard work and smart work is needed to develop a company.

There is no smart work without hard work. Having said that I stick to the saying "If I have to cut a tree within 10 hours, I would sharpen my knife for the first 9 hours". So, knowing where to put effort and where not to work hard is smart work.
