I think smart work is the way of doing hard work for Eg. If you are preparing for a certain competitive exam it will be good if you plan your preparation smartly and work harder on it you will definitely succeed but if you only work hard for it without any smart planning than chances for you getting selected will be reduced. So both hard and smart work are inseparable from achieving a target you require both.

In hard work body works like freshers but smart work works like experience and this is a brainy role.

Smart Work: Completing your task with best of your quality in less time by working with 100% efficiency & not getting deflected.

Hard work: Doing the thing for a whole day in the name of just exploring without getting to your target.

Sir for ex. If I had to open a lock and I don't have the key to open it. The time I used a hammer to open it will be called as hard work. But instead if I can use a hand cutter to cut the lock. It will be considered a smart work.

Actually, physical and mental both efforts are involved in both the works but in hard word physical is much involved while in smart work mental has its own importance.

Our life is not sufficient to do our own mistakes and learn from it, we have to learn from our own mistakes and also from others mistakes that is smart work. If we keep on working without analysing and learning from the past is hard work.
