I have 10rs and I want to go to a place which will cost me 20rs if I go by bus or we can go there by walking. That is hard work.

I will go by bus halfway and then I will go by walking that is smart work.

We can finish our work by our efforts is referred as hard work.

If we finish it with less time and efforts that will be a smart work.

Hard work naively means about working for hours without time management. On the other hand, smart work is all about managing the time, utilising and understanding the value of time and work in a better managing way.

Hard-work and smart work both belongs to each other there is a relation between them if we want to crack any exam we plan and trying to work according that and execute the plans but some time we failed we did hardwork for achieving that goal, hard work is not about to have a physical effort but we need to execute well with time management there is something we plan which we called smart way for achieving the goal.

Hard working is simply working hard and not finding or executing any easier techniques or methods to do them in an easier way. People who work hard spend most of their time in doing a particular work only.

Smart worker those who execute their plans in a smarter way and deal with situations in a smarter way.

Hard work is doing more work, i.e. putting more of your efforts and smart work is doing small but in the right direction so that it will provide better and bigger outcomes.

Smart work is a part of hardwork bcse without hardwork, no smart work took place. Hardwork gives us an experience which further makes us to do same work smartly and efficiently with more effectiveness.

In this world no one becomes smart in his work without hardwork.

This hardwork makes us to work smartly in any organisation. Which they want from us.

If I have to describe hard work and smart work in the short and simple manner then I will go with the example of the control system.

Hard work is like open loop control system we will get our output but there will be more space for the errors and it consumes time also.

But smart work is like closed loop system with feedback element and now we can still have our valuable time to make the errors correct and make it more efficient.

But it should always be remembered that we have closed loop system only because of open loop system.

According to me,

Hard work means Completing minimum work with maximum time and maximum cost. (Effective work: Work completed on time but incurs high cost).

Whereas smart work refers to completing maximum work in minimum time and in minimum cost i.e.(Effective and efficient work means completing work on time or before time with less cost).
