Hard work result's are mostly coming to failure because people who do hard work always does not understand why he is doing that,on other side people who works smarly executs finally himself to success because he not only work but he understand why he is doing that and then works by heart.

In my view there may be 100 solution for a single problem in which the method which is traditional, full of effort, fall rise and than fall type is the hard work. Rather then smart work is the way to choose the efficient way by logical analysis.
Ycube said: (Wed, Mar 30, 2011 10:05:00 PM)
According to me hard work is often mistaken as "tough works" where it actually is combination of dedicated, focused and sincere work, because as we all know that there is no substitute for "hard work" for the successful outcome. Now answering to actual question I would say that the only difference between the 2 is that "smart work" is incomplete without "hard work" but not vice versa. But the real key point I would stress on in accordance 2 the question is "hard work and smart work put together can make the real difference". !
Amoljm said: (Sun, Mar 27, 2011 10:00:08 PM)
Sir I remember the story from my primary school, Its about woodcutter. referring that the person who cuts wood without sharpening his axe is hard work and the person who sharpen his axe everyday and then cut woods is so called smart work.

Byhearting the answers and writing in the exams is known as hard work and simply knowing the concepts and implementing that in the exams is known as smart work.
Gowthamk said: (Fri, Mar 25, 2011 03:31:53 PM)
Hard work is taking a single way and more effort but he can attain the goal, Smart working is planing and implementing the effective method and they thing positive and negative.
Deepika Vj said: (Sat, Mar 19, 2011 12:59:13 PM)
Both this can be related with time. If someone achieve his/her goal(eg.to become a successfull business man) after a long time then its shows his/her hardwork. If someone achieve the same goal mentioned above within a short time then its shows his/her Smartwork.

Hard work means doing work hardly without planning. But in smartwork means planning before doing. In smart work we take out best solution to do work. Like how, when, what we have to do. In smart work we give best result.

First of all, both are important and respectable. But for accomplishing tasks, it is important to pursue the job smartly. Hard working is simply putting your health and brain in the work, without moving a bit anywhere. Smart work is a clever addition to that and simplifying the task through smart moves, which complete the task without much labour and with even better perfection. For managers at executive positions or any decision maker, it is important to work smartly in addition to hard work.

Two employees go for observation , one gather all the fact in just working 2 to 3 hour, while other can't be gather whole fact after spending a week. First one is smart work with right direction while other is hard work in wrong direction.

Work is common in hard work and smart work. So hard work is done as it needs to be done. Smart work is Finding and implementing effective ways to get the work done.
Keerthana said: (Fri, Feb 11, 2011 01:25:35 AM)
There is a misconception that smart workers do not work hard. But I feel smart work involves a lot of hard work : first to plan things appropriately and then to execute the plan. Lincoln once said "If I were to cut a tree in 8 hours then I would spend 6 hours in sharpening my axe!". Thus smart work is nothing but hard work with some thought.
Udit Chauhan said: (Fri, Feb 4, 2011 09:33:13 PM)

Sidd said: (Thu, Jan 20, 2011 02:12:09 AM)
Hard Work means simply Completing task, Within time.... Smart Work is Utilizing Brains for Optimum Solution with Different options, With Spare Time for testing too...
Janani Priya.K said: (Tue, Jan 18, 2011 09:07:26 PM)
Hard Work- Hard Workers engage them only with their work ,which makes them not to mingle with their surrounding. Smart Worker- Smart workers make their works perfect and and also with a friendly surrounding.
Nagavardhan said: (Mon, Jan 17, 2011 01:58:44 PM)

hard work done in appropriate direction is smart work

Manisha said: (Sat, Jan 15, 2011 03:47:40 PM)
Hard work requires time and efforts.Smart work reduces time and efforts.Hard work is like a steps and smart work like a lift. Some times lift may be fail but steps always takes to the top.Hard work is 90%implementation and 10% planning result will be "above average", Smart Work is 90% planning and 10% implementation result will be "the best".overall Hord work means needs physical things and smart work needs logical things.

studying for 10 hours a day and scoring 99 marks is a hard work whereas studying for 2 hours a day and scoring 99 is smart work.
Yugandhar said: (Mon, Jan 10, 2011 07:00:24 AM)
To me smart work comes with hard work. only when a person worked hard he will be able to find the pros and corns in it.Next time he will be best in handling such situations smartly....
Anup said: (Sun, Jan 9, 2011 09:38:33 PM)
Work without proper planning where effort in the work is multiple directional is a hard work. So It is expense of time and effort also. Whereas Smart work is done with proper planning where effort in the work is unidirectional. So it retains time and effort.
Amzath said: (Sun, Jan 9, 2011 06:47:34 PM)

Smart work is the better of option of doing a work,which many of us realise only after doing a lot of hard work on the same thing.

In a college, all staff members should exhibit hard work. But HOD should exhibit smart work. So if you work hard as a staff and work smart as a HOD, you will succeed. But if you work smart as a staff you never enter into the next stage as well as if you work hard as a HOD, you will not suitable for that position. This will incorporate for all organizations.
Swamy said: (Thu, Oct 7, 2010 08:36:58 PM)
