Hard-work and smart work both belongs to each other there is a relation between them if we want to crack any exam we plan and trying to work according that and execute the plans but some time we failed we did hardwork for achieving that goal, hard work is not about to have a physical effort but we need to execute well with time management there is something we plan which we called smart way for achieving the goal.

Work is work.
If you want to get ahead in your career you have to put a lot of effort. For days you will be happy for some days you won't. If you want to be an expert in your field you have to spend 10000hr doing the thing again and again with continuous improvement. 10000hr does not joke. You may call this work hard or smart it doesn't matter. Only matters most is that 10khr, if you really want to be an expert.

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.

Hard work - It means that you work in a gruelling manner; for instance, spending 10+ hours studying for an exam.
Smart work - Smart work can go hand in hand with hard work. But 'smart work' means that you use an efficient method to finish a particular task. For instance, referring the above example, you use a specific method to study for an exam that saves your time, as well as prepares you for it perfectly.

Hard work is the original grind. It’s all about sweat, grit, and putting in the hours to make things happen whereas Smart work focuses on doing things strategically rather than laboriously.
Is ongoing, but the truth is that both are essential for success. Hard work builds discipline, persistence, and a strong foundation, while smart work focuses on efficiency, strategy, and achieving goals with less effort.

With the help of both we can achieve the result. But the only thing which makes the difference is Time taken.
Hard work consumes more time where as smart consumers less.
We should achieve the result in a smart way by working hard.
In my opinion, smart work may fail Sometime but not hard work. That why I choose to do work hard and but I apply my smartness to remove hurdles in the path of achieving results.

Hard work is about putting in more effort and strengths.
On the opposite side, there are less efforts in smart work but results can be beneficial for both the hard work and smart work.
For instance.
We can make a paper map which needs a lot of hard work for drawing it properly which is called hard work but on the other side, we can use google map just by operating our phone which is called smart work.

My view is that.
If we apply only physical power to achieve our goal can say hard work but if we apply both both physical and mental power to achieve a goal can say smart work.
For example.
If our goal is to cut a tree but if we cut a branch of a tree then it is said to be hard work but if we cut directly the base of the tree can say smart work.
Smart work saves a lot of time rather than hard work.

Smart work comes after hard work.
Hard work related with the power and smart work related with the brain.
According to my point of view, Hard work is always a success because a person getting more & more knowledge and skill to fulfil our own growth.
Smart work is also good way for success in a short time but the drawback is when we do smart work we don't have perfect knowledge in a particular topic.

Hard work is when a person does work by using an easy methodology. It is when a person does the work for the first time and tries to complete it in a simple manner.
Smart work is when a person tries to complete the work by following the shortcut methods. After gaining some knowledge and experiences if a person does the work in an effective and efficient manner then the work is said to be smartly done.
