Hard work is putting in as many efforts as you can to get the desired results whereas smart work is doing the same things involving lesser efforts but yielding same results. Let me illustrate it with an example.
If you are asked to draw a chair. Some of you may use your physical strength to bring it up but a few of you will use the wheels available to drag it to the position without putting in the much efforts. Former is the hard work. And latter is the smart work.

Hard work - working with lot of Effort. Here our Body plays active role.
Smart work - getting the maximum work done with little effort. Here Brain plays active role.

Well, I would say smart work comes from hard work only. As there is one theory also ' Work hard until you get smart. So, in my point of view, you can do smart work only if you have work harder in your life. And knowing where to put effort and where not to work hard is smart work.

I think that smart work is that you already know what to do, that you already experienced with hard work, but in according to my life experience you need smart work to make your hard work valuable it doesn't like that they didn't appreciate your hard work but with more skills you can do that better.

Hard work is done with dedication rather than skill. Where as smart work is done with skill and it is a brainy work.

Hard Work + Experience + Intelligence = Smart Work. So, without hard work, smart work cannot be done.

HardWork :- Spending a lot of time doing lot of things, Using same old ideas in the same old manner.
Smartwork:- spending less amount of time doing the right thing. Using old ideas in newer ways to get more benefit.
