Hard work is putting in a lot of effort and time to complete a task.

Smart work is finding efficient ways to achieve the same result with less effort and time.

Hard work is like digging a hole with a spoon, while smart work is digging the same hole with a shovel.

I believe both hard work and smart work are needed to complete the task efficiently.

Hard work takes lots of time and it wastes your energy but smart work does not take much time and it saves your energy power.

Thus according to me smart work is the best.

If a person says that he will be helthy till 80 years that's confidence.

If he says that he will never die that is overconfidence.

Hard work: It means you work it with confidence, that even for a worst situation you can do things possible.

And we can do smart work after you master the hard work, you can do it easily, because experience is the best learning that hard work taught us.

Sir, A person with not having right skills tends to do hard work having no vision towards output.
Hard work consumes more energy and is less effective when it comes to output.

Whereas Smart work can only be done by a person with necessary and right skills.
Smart work produces more effective results with less consumption of energy.

In my view, Smart work is better and should be preffered.

HARDWORK is nothing but taking steps to achieve our goal, it is a lengthy process whereas smart work is doing a work within a short period of time without any kind of distractions.
