Hard work is in which we only do physical activity for complete any work.

Smart work is that work in which we do same activity in a smarter way because in an organisation if you have big problem and have less time to solve that problem than if you know how the smarter way to do work you can do it easily. In short, smart way is make any thing more innovative and less time efficient.

Hard work means more efforts but less output whereas smart work means less efforts more output. But in my point of view, though smart work produces more output hard work is too broad our knowledge and concepts.

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.

Hard work -taking long time to achieve success.

Smart work -mentally finding short cuts and decisions to reach success in short period.

Ever work is hard in that point of view. Ever hard work is complete with smarter zone in that time of work. This is my option.

Hard work is put yourself as physically for definite work.

In smart work, people are present physically and mentally for assign job. So it is good for the organisation.

Smart work basically deals with your mental aptitude and intelligence. How you do the exact same kind of work in different more efficient ways.

Hard work deals with a predefined path which is definitely going to take you to your destination. It may not define your intelligence but it surely defines your gratitude, discipline and obligation towards your work.

Time is the most precious thing in the world and it cannot return for anyone is the saying I am hearing from the childhood. So saving time is more important and we can do it with smart work.

Hard work also important because smart ideas will come through hard work only.
