What is the difference between hard work and smart work?

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.

In my opinion, it depends on the situation. If we have less than we used smart work or if we have a lot of time than we used hard work.

For Example: if we destroy the building and we have lots of time so we can use more labour in it. OR If we have less time so we can use machines on it.

Hard work is when you work whole heartedly for something without getting to know the other means through which it could have been done where as smart work is when thinking about the consequences before starting something so to get better results in lesser time.

Hardwork brings talent when talent does'nt work hard and if your talent works hard it becomes your smart work.

Hard work means the work which have to achieve. Smart work means the work which is used by brain.

Hard work is continued work of same activity as thought to him.

Smart work is altered the work and made is easy to complete and present.

I believe that hardwork is done by physically and tends to handling the situation carefully.

Smart work can be done by mentally.

Whats coming to my mind is some students studies too much, some of them get good marks and some not. Some students get decent marks even though they study less. If one works hard, studies a lot, or puts too much energy on doing any work, I call it as hard work. If one achieves the same by putting less energy, I call it smart work. If even after hard work, one won't be able to achieve the things, then he should change his method of doing it, and that's smartness.

For example, when we were small, some friends used to by heart the things, but could not write well in exams, It's hard work. Understanding the concepts and writing in the exam is smart work.

There is no difference for both we have to work hard. But for any work there will be a small logical behind if we find that we can complete it smartly.

Hard work consumes more energy of mind, whereas smart work consumes less energy and gives results easily. Although both are integral in overall personality development.
