Hello, everyone.

In my opinion, with the example.

Hard work means if a person used stairs for go to 10th floor from 1st floor in the building.

Smart work means if a person used stairs for go to 10th floor from 1st floor in the building.

In Hard work not any tricks & it takes more time.
In smart work tricks are used & it takes fewtime.

Thank you.

Hard work is working tirelessly with your dedication and putting your best into your work by going through the conventional cycle of work completion. While I suppose smart work is getting same work done in an efficient manner with lesser effort.

Nonetheless, one cannot ignore the fact the one must work hard before working smart.

Hard work is doing the given work efficiently and with full concentration by giving your 100%.

However, smart work is doing the given work in less time resulting in the shortcut to success but may not last long.

Deep Study is a must for excellent results.

Hard work is basically when extra efforts are put into achieving something. But on the other hand, smart work is accomplishing something by tackling things intelligently and a bit of effort.

Smart work proves to be much more efficient, especially in today's context when the world is moving faster than ever.

Well sir, In my opinion, if a person study day and night uses different books with the different method for solving same problems. It is hard work definitely he will improve his skill and develop knowledge. But smart work is another thing in this if a person uses selected book and solve selected questions that will be enough for his exam and score much more marks from that guy without losing more time and give effective output. In durable time I think this called smart work. Thank you.

Smart work is all about how efficiently you can complete a task in a given time.

If you learn things the hard way, you can easily figure out the areas of improvement to increase efficiency.

We learn from mistakes.

That's called smart work.

Hard work means if you can't achieve your target in minimum time then your effort would be considered as a hard work and smart work means if you achieved your target in minimum time then your effort would be considered as a smart work.
