When people talk about smart work and hard work, they usually wonder which one is more important.In fact, smart work is more important.But working smartly is very hard. This is not a wordplay.It is not easy to be smart.
What is "smartness"?
People are smart when they can find out a way to bring more results with less effort(努力).If you can achieve the same results without putting in a lot of work, you are smart.The person pushing the vehicle is smart, because he is using the knowledge and wisdom(智慧), and the hard work of some other people.

Human beings are smart.The human history shows our smartness.We don't need to go hunting for our food any more, because we were smart enough to find out that farming could bring much more food with much less effort.We then developed modern tools for farming.
Humans also invented the Internet, the wheel, clothes, the smart phones—all the tools that help us to work smartly.All of this is hard, but that hard work makes us smart.Because of smartness, we are much better off today in terms of happiness and richness.
