What is the difference between hard work and smart work?

I think, Hard work is done against the conditions whereas Smart work can be done by doing conditions in favour of work.

For example, if we want to extract out water from a well- Against the gravity is hard work whereas with the help of pulley is smart work.

Hard work is a part of smart work.

Smart work strategy decides which are the aspects on which we should focus with enough effort and which are those we should delegate to others or with less effort!

Hard work is a part of smart work. Hard work gives you experience and smart work came from experience. Hard work uses physical strength, consume much time and produces less result but smart work uses physical as well as mental strength and save our time and produce an efficient result. Even the labour do hard work. Spending a lot of hours and getting less productivity is hard work, spending less time and high productivity is smart work.

Eg. If you are studying the whole day and completing 3 chapters and another one who is just studying 4 hours and completed 3 chapter will be a smart worker.

The Hard work makes us tired and Smart work makes us confidence.

Sir. Hard work is doing the work as we learn but smart work is doing the work as efficiently innovation with new changes that we have learnt during our college.

Hard work is doing things blindly.

Eg:- a work is assigned to you & you just devote your everything to that task.

Smart work.

When a work is assigned to you, you analyze the work part of work which needs extra work give their that effort.

Before starting the work you have rough idea of what to do & what not to do.

Then you pace your efforts & get the work done.

Smart work is skill acquired from hard work.

Everyone in their initial stages did hard work to gain reputation.

Smart work is the sheer reflection of experienced and skill set gained from the days when one worked hard.

According to me,

As our elders always remind us that without hard work nothing will be achieved I totally agree with that but now a days work should be completed time to time for that new ideas, logics and innovation involves in the work so that the work can be completed in a given period of time for ex: if a project is given in a school to complete within 3 days then hard worker will starts the work since the day the work is announced but the smart worker gathers put his present ideas and past ideas and make a commparision in the work and makes it innovative and logical.

Hard work means put lots of efforts and get a minimum result.

Smart work means presence mind that what we feel its better than hard work.

If you took any work to do. And you did that within the time as well as accuracy this is hard work. But if you did the same work before the time with accuracy to use your logic or intelligence that is smart work.
