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.

Hard work - working with lot of Effort. Here our Body plays active role.

Smart work - getting the maximum work done with little effort. Here Brain plays active role.

According to me, basically, there is no difference. Without doing any hard work you can't do a smart work. And when someone says you are a smart worker then obviously you are doing some hard work and it's the result of that hard work.

Before doing work smartly. You need to be a hard task master. Because if you don't do any any hard work then you are unable to get a clear picture of your future goal. After getting your future goal then you can do work smartly by using tricks.

Hard work is the core thing and always at the back support for smart work. Smart work is only possible if you have put hard work to something.

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.
