I believe that "hard work" relates to your work ethic... if you give it all you've got and give as much as you can (within reason) then... you can say that you are a "hard working" person...
However, instead of trying to be a "hard worker" it is so much more productive and pleasant to use your imagination and try to find a way of making your work a game where you have fun doing it...
All the great successes that I have met... never worked... they played... wild horses could not drive them away from whatever it is that they were involved into...
As, an example... I am a chiropractor... I have been doing this for decades and probably could do it with my eyes closed... so,what I do is see myself as a healer who could have a lifelong influence on the person that I am working on... it is just a slight shift in perception... but it makes all the difference in the world... I love what I do... it's fun... and could never be called work... even if I "worked hard" at it...
