Whats the major difference between hard work & smart work ?

Difference between hard work and smart work:

Jebin said:

Smart Work Meaning Doing Your Work Efficiently. Efficiently Means using Less Resources that includes "Time, Physical work, Mental Work, resources (money, things etc)".

Any thing that consumes less of these are Smart Work.

Ex: Cutting a tree with a Blunt Axe - The TIME taken is More. The Physical Work is More.

Cutting a tree with a sharpened Axe - Saves TIME. Less Physical Work. That is smart work.

All are related to each other.

Ramu Said:

Hard work is to start the given task immediately and analyzing it as the work goes on.

Smart work is to analyse the task and its requirements first and then start to work upon it. Which leads to completion of the task in less span of time.

Experience with hard work eventually leads to one's smart work.
