No, they are not. Smart is a synonym for intelligence, which at its core is the ability to learn.
If you have a goal of being successful, then it is smart to develop a good work ethic and a high level of motivation. But that is different. It is using your "smarts" to realize what it takes to succeed in the world.

As much as I believe in the importance of work ethics and motivation, I don't think it has to do with being smart.
It all comes down to the idea that even the most basic people know right from wrong, that whole thing.
