Hard work gives you experience.

Smart work comes with experience.

There is no smart work without hard work.

According to me, hard work is related to our physical strength and smart work is done mentally.

For success, both are required like steering and accelerator in car which direct and give necessary speed to reach our destination.

Hard works mean to do any work by using body power and smart work means do any work by physically and mentally.

But we should do any work both physically and mentally that both are needed (equal).

A single person working on a problem for 2 hours is hard work, 2 persons working on the same problem for 1 hour is smart work.

Efficiently doing any work is smart work. The process is optimized and fast where the resources are widely used in this case. On contrary, hard work consumes time, energy as well as resources: at times they might exhaust you.

Yeah, with no doubt hard work pays in long term but we are practically not here to put all of our resources in doing that bull work rather with intelligence so called in a smart way we can utilise the same resources to complete the same degree of work that is called smart work.

Hello everyone.

As we know that all the things we do in our life have a particular impact in our lives. Either it is hard work or smart work.

Hard work generally deals with your efforts which you put in any particular field physically and mentally as well. Hard work just not means only the physical strength but the mental efforts you put in it.

On the other side, Smart work deals with the efficient and effective measures used to do work with mental ability. It requries lot of hardwork and patience to gather the experiences from past and to utilise them in present as well as future. So in my opinion both are necessary to attain a particular goal.

There is no difference for both we have to work hard. But for any work there will be a small logical behind if we find that we can complete it smartly.
