Hard Work vs Smart Work:

Smart work:-

• Disadvantages of Smart work:-

  • Smart work may make us lazy, as we get used to doing less work and get more output.
  • Mere smart work may not yield results. “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”. Hence we cannot completely rely on smart work.
  • To work smartly, at first we need knowledge about the work, which comes only with hard work and experience.
  • We cannot teach hard work to smart working persons if they are not willing to work hard.

  • Hard work may become boring and monotonous.
  • It consumes a lot of time and effort.
  • If we fail after doing so much hard work, it’ll be very difficult to cope up with it.

Conclusion:-

We need to work hard as well as smart to achieve success in our lives. Only one of both will not be sufficient in this modern world. And hence both hard work and smart work are essential to succeed in life.
