    Both hard work and smart work are equally important in our life. Both are must for success in life. Hard work requires your persistence efforts to complete your work. The work in hand must be completed and should not be postponed for a later time. Smart work requires intelligence and quickness to complete the work correctly and in time.

    There is no substitute for hard work to achieve success in life. However, hard work alone may not bring desired results. If in addition to hard work one knows how to do it smartly, then the chances of success are brightened. Acting smartly only may not be fruitful unless it has the backing of requisite intelligence, aptitude and done at the right opportunity. Ultimately, there is nothing to beat hard work and smart work combo.

    Yes both hard work and smart work are equally important but as we are living in modern era people believe in smart work. But people who work hard always success inlife. If a farmer is laborious , he would reap a rich harvest. The habit of hardwork is a helthy habit. It is fruitful. One must learn to stand on one's own resources. One mustthink that work is the greatest worship. So both are important in our life.

    "Hard work never fails" and "Smart work may fail".
    Always one cannot achieve success with the help of smart work because smart work means that the performed task works well for that situation and it has no assurance that it will work for remaining other situations.
    But hard work is something that never ever fails but it may take some time to complete the task but it will works for a greater time when compared with smart work.

    I can say Smartwork gives more success in your lfie, because
    Smartwork is the way, one can do things more effiently and it is the way any work can be done with easy and proper manner.
    By doing Smartwork, you cannot feel bored and doesnot take too much of time to finish your work, where Hardwork may take more time and because of it, you may feel bored and lose interest in your work,
    In modern days professional life, more importance is given to Smartwork, rather than Hardwork. And people prefer those who are doing Smartwork rather than Hardwork.
    In summary I can say, if there is 60% Smartwork and 40 % Hardwork may result in more success in your task.

    Let me giv you a very good example to make it more clear, suppose a women want to cook a dish as fast as see can; so for this see simply collect some stuff of salads and give it a name of some famous Italian salads, this will be said smart work.

    But suppose the same women works really hard and come up with a very unusual dishes and see will be naming it according to the thing used while preparing that dishes. And she very much aware of how it is made; this we can say as hard work.

    Which one will be more tasting and satisfying to the women. Obviously it would be the dishes made up of hard work; because that will be More prominent and satisfying to the lady as she will exactly knew how to make it and will remember it forever compare to the smart work.

    So this is my view on smart work versus hard work.

    Hello, I would like to say that both these, hard work and smart work are inter related indirectly. What we mean by the proverb "Hard work is key to success" is that one gets perfects only with dedicated hard work over a regular period of time. I mean one needs to keep studying until he gets perfection. Now smart work is a direct result of hard work. We see some people doing calculations relatively faster than others which we term as smart. Now to achieve this level of speed, the person should have done a lot of practice and hard work. So I still think that smart work is a result of continuous hard work and no can deny the fact that one cannot become smart without hard work. I mean every one is born equally intelligent. It is just the matter of how far the person is perfect in a particular subject which makes him smart among others.

    In my opinion, smart work is the best one. Because doing a simple work with a hard method is not called hard work. It is simply wasting time without knowing anything. Instead doing a tough work in a simple is called smart work. So, smart work is better than hard work.

    I feel both are equally important to get success in our life. It is based on the requirement we have to use. Smartness is good but sometime this gives opposite result to us.

    Smart work can get you where you want to be in less time than hard work. However, I prefer hard work to smart work because although it may take longer, hard work is only the way through which you can learn in a proper manner. Smart work is great but if we are against someone who is more smarter then one is definitely in trouble. hard work can be questioned by no one and the results are more satisfying.

    Both hard work and smart work are required to get somewhere in life. But the trick is you should know when to work hard and went to work smart. You may be working long hours at your office everyday for that 10,000 rupee monthly salary, that is fine. But you have to be smart enough to ask your boss to raise your salary when he says your performance has been good! That is smart work!

    I think there is a huge difference between two, and that difference is of time limit as well as the talent.When we have the deadline to complete the given task, we already have a work which can be useful, for example using the old stuff there in home and making some showpiece etc is a smart work.
    I and my brother are quite used to of using shoe boxes etc, shuttle cock to make wall hangings,aquarium etc.And the effort that is used in that is definitely the hard work.

    As per the present trend in the world, it is the smart work which is dominating and overshadowing the hard work. People are trying their level best to work smart and not hard. And people who are working smart are achieving success and are able to feel their presence or importance in the field. And unfortunately, people who work hard have to change their habit of hard work to smart work but it is quite difficult for them to do so. Moreover, in the present world unfortunately people who work hard have no place and are unable to make their way and survive in this competitive tech world. Whereas, those who work smart are really scaling good heights in their career. So as per the present trend, smart work is the best, but we have to wait and see for how long this trend will exist. As I feel that hard work has is like slow and steady wins the race and people who work hard, though they are being side lined for the time being, but sure they would be recognized one fine day for their hard work and will be rewarded well for the same.

    Hard work and smart work should go in parallel lines to lead a person towards the path of success. It is important to be alert, aware, one should use common sense at the right time, one should know when to give priority to what, to be ahead of the other hard workers.
