Working hard is expending a lot of physical and mental energy but not getting the best results...working smart is doing less in a different way resulting in better results and productivity.  

Answer 2

I think working smart eliminates the need to work hard, for example you can work hard at rewriting a passage from an encyclopedia but if you just take notes (as opposed as writing every single word out) you are working smart. By working smart you are being more efficient and you get the job done better, faster.
