What is the difference between smart work and hard work?

I think that it is not necessary for the Smart work, hard work is required.

Ronark, here the question is, what is the exact difference between the both

Hard work is understood that without doing hard work we can't get success to our work.
Hard work means doing physical hard work as well mentally.

But Smart work is necessary done by doing physical hard. If we do intelligent work,then it can be called Smart Work.

In one word smart work is a short cut process and Hardwork is not short cut.

But for smart work,our intelligence is important.

I feel hard work means working with long process and smart work is using techniques and working

Yes smart work needs some intelligency and smartness also.

Without smartness,smart work can't be called Smart. :) :)

yes, exactly.

But smart work is mostly performed by the smart persons only who are intellegent. smart work reduces our work and saves time. and hard work increases our work and kills our time. But both gives similar results

To do smart work you have to able to take the quick decision too.

having quick tactics is the key to be smart enough to calculate success.

To work smart we should be active enough will make us smart

True! The person who does hard work has knowledge no doubt but the smart worker knows where and how to apply the knowledge by using proper techniques.

Putting in more labor is hard work. Getting better result with same labor is smart work. You can put in labor only as much as you can. After that, smartness is the key. Improving way of work adds efficiency.

Getting more output with same labor or same materials or at same cost with improved means is smartness. Many enterprises conduct research on these aspects with a view to increase efficiency.

Both are works....
If we use more brain power than body power to get results, it's smart work. i.e we are effectively using our brain more.
But hard work mainly evolves already a well-set set of instructions executed continuously, which may not change its path during its time of execution.

Business people are doing smart work...taking correct decisions and nicely executing them...so, man power job they doing may be less....but more brain power/effort taken

Hard work or smart work has nothing to do with manual or mental work. Any work with planning is smart work. The idea is to get more output with same efforts.

In fact, this is a management task to constantly research and devise way to get more output with same efforts viz. working smart.

I don't know how these two can have any adversarial relationship. A smart worker could be a hard worker too! His or her ways might be smart and the very word 'smart' admits of so many interpretations!

smart is work is that to perform all thing in a limit with a high result.......
Giving response in forum is a hard work but reading fast article is smart work....

Well, you cannot call it smart work but dumb work because it will get you banned if one keeps on clicking articles at a great speed. Everyone knows that even the smallest article will need few minutes to be read!

A perfect explanation!
