"Hard work" can be related to physical labor that requires strength and endurance. This type of work whether it be digging ditches or buildig an iron structure can be gratifying. Work that is thankless or lacks direction is "hard work" no matter the amount of physical stress.
The Hard work of "Thank you for your hard work" is focused, diligent work, working smart and getting the job done is doing "hard work" as in "hard currency." Give me some one that works smart and gets the "hard work" done as opposed to someone that "Works hard" with out focus any day of the week.
