smart worker will perform hard worker's duties more efficiently, so smart work is an appraoch to doing things by utilizinf own efforts and available resources.

 

hard work is more related to physical effects, soending long hours and being dedictated to the task.  and smart work is more mental tha  physical, focus will be on delivering results when utilizing own efforts and thinking out of the box to reach the target.

Smart work can be defined as a method of working where a thinking/cognitive processes are involved in order to work more efficiently Working hard is a wonderful quality, but working hard may not necessarily involve higher thinking/ cognitive processes in terms of finding the best way to do things.. Working hard does not mean striving towards efficiency. I would however note that there are efficient workers who also work very hard.... Striving towards efficiency needs to be an non-negotiable goal for all organizations.

Working hard means burning the candle from both sides, and it often does not end with the desired accomplishments. While the work intelligently achieves results and successes; the individual acts realistically.

 

- Work effortlessly does not have a specific period of time to accomplish, while work intelligently have a period of time to accomplish the task and goal.

I can give you the exact meaning of both things. A smartworker actually finds a hardworker and make his works done by him.
