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.

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!

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 means pushing ourself to success (to struggle for success).

Smart work means pulling success towards us (to execute success).

According to me, in hard work, there is no need to increase our knowledge &value system. But in order to do smart work firstly, you should be smart & you will have to increase your value system & upgrade your knowledge. Since we are running in 21th century so we must go for smart work if we want to stand developed.

Hard work is not only the physical strength, It is also mental efforts you put in it.

While smart work requires a lot of hard work and patience to gather the experiences.

From past and to utilise them in present as well as future,

So in my option, both are necessary to attain a particular goal.

Hard work includes physical efforts and less planning whereas Smart work includes less physical work and more planning. We can do a work by working smart in less time as compared to working smart.
