Basically, I don't particularly have a preference but I think smart work comes from hard work. One hand smart work is the way to do the task in a convenient way.

On the other hand, Hard work dedicating long hours to get it done.

I always analyze if smart work can be applied to a particular task if not I will give my 100% to complete the task.

Hard work is the original grind. It’s all about sweat, grit, and putting in the hours to make things happen whereas Smart work focuses on doing things strategically rather than laboriously.

Is ongoing, but the truth is that both are essential for success. Hard work builds discipline, persistence, and a strong foundation, while smart work focuses on efficiency, strategy, and achieving goals with less effort.

Doing a work with minimum sense taking risk and time for its completion is hard work, whereas smart work means applying our Intelligence to reduce the time and risk in completion of the same work.

Smart work: being silent and ruling at right time with right opportunity.

Hard work: being curious to get something and wasting blood for it without assuming the correct signal.

After complete your task when you don't feel anything achieved its hard work but when you get appreciation after complete your task its smart work. Hard work is indeed a need but without smart work its worthlessness.
