Hard work is long hours and relentless grind. Smart work is the same goal reached by sharper shortcuts, better tools, and selective effort.

Miami is a sprawling mainland city with skyscrapers and neighborhoods; Miami Beach is a barrier island next door, famous for its shoreline and Art Deco flair.
