In my opnion. Hard work means to do a work with more effort with out using your ideas.

But smart work means to use you brain to do this work in a limited time with accuracy.

Suppose there was two boy. Given them a task to oppen the locked door.

One of them starting to push the door with his full effort, with out looking any whare.

And the other one looking all at first and put the key from the table and unlock the door.

They both oppen the door. But the 1st boy use his most effort but he culd not oppen the door in a right way, and the other one using his brain, and clamness and oppen the door currently.

This is the difference between the smart work and the hard work.

Yeah, it's very simple,

Hard work - Determination. (At any cost work must be done!).

Smart work - think before you work. That's smart work.

According to me, A person must have both ability to work hard and think smart on situation.

Smart work focuses on efficient work.

Hard work focuses just on completing the work.

Initially, to learn something we do hard work.

When we get to experience in our field then we do smart work. Smart work appears with experience.

Hard work and smart work is same at the end which means at the result. But we can save time and energy in smart work than the hard work. But the thing is you can be a smart worker through your experience from your hard work.
