Key difference: Hard Work is when one does some work dedicatedly. Smart work is when someone does the same amount of work, but faster and more efficiently.

Most self-help gurus will advocate this fact, that in order to succeed, one must work hard at it.

Hard work is when one does the work more dedicatedly. But smart work is when one does the same work in less time and more efficiently.

Shortly smart work is nothing but hard work in the right direction.

Hard work delivering on time with max. Effort but the smart work delivering on time with less effort. Hard work is a part of smart work. Smart work acquired skill from hard work. Hard work gives experience but smart work came from experience. Hard work consume more time and physical strength but smart work consume physical and mental strength with lesser time. I feel both are need to attain success.

Hard work is delivering work on time with effort and smart work is delivering work on time with lesser efforts.

I Feel that is the basic difference most of the time in the corporate world, I feel a combination of both is needed to attain excellence and get success.
