According to me, hard work means stressing, working effectively hard to complete a particular task on/ in time.
While on the other hand smart work means extracting the task in an indirect way rather than working hard.
Example- consider two students A and B.
A study day and night. But B studies only important questions. Both A and B passes the examination. A denotes hard work.
B denotes smart work.

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 means putting all your efforts, mainly physical efforts, to complete a work.
Smart Work means adding some mental efforts, which will reduce your physical efforts as well as the time taken to complete the work. Smart work increases the efficiency, and reduces the resources used for the completion of the work, thereby proving to be a double profit.
Only a hard-worker can be a smart worker.

Hardwork:-one boy who does not have any idea about next exam syllabus and he is doing (Study) all the things. And of course, he will get good marks as he was doing everything. Its called hard work (without any direction).
Smartwork:- another boy who has an idea about next exam syllabus and he is just doing only that things which help him to get good marks. Its called smart work. (with direction).

Sir, A person with not having right skills tends to do hard work having no vision towards output.
Hard work consumes more energy and is less effective when it comes to output.
Whereas Smart work can only be done by a person with necessary and right skills.
Smart work produces more effective results with less consumption of energy.
In my view, Smart work is better and should be preffered.

Hello, I can differentiate between hard work and smart work since we know that for any work or objectives there are various options/paths are available there but here hard-working people can choose any path and gone. But smart work first sees what's the ultimate aim and for that he decided that path which takes the shortest time, arrange works in various parts according to priority level.

Hard work is of great quality and key to success but if only done smartly.
Nowadays Many people work so hard but there's nothing to show and so I prefer smart work .
Smart work involves activities like brainstorming, planning and prioritizing.
Smart work makes one to stand out from the crowd and be recognized, one man said by the name of Tony Robbins where focus goes energy flows.

Hard work is in which we only do physical activity for complete any work.
Smart work is that work in which we do same activity in a smarter way because in an organisation if you have big problem and have less time to solve that problem than if you know how the smarter way to do work you can do it easily. In short, smart way is make any thing more innovative and less time efficient.

Focuses on dedication and perseverance.

Smart Work:
Achieving more with better planning and techniques.
Focuses on efficiency and using the right tools or methods.
Example: Studying for 5 hours using summaries, previous papers, and understanding key concepts.

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.
