Hard
work
 is the most important factor in life for achieving your goal. Without it, it’s difficult to get the desired result. In some society, children are often advised to
work
 hard for achieving anything they desired. In opinion the above
advice
 has far more advantage than disadvantage. I will discuss
this
 in the essay below. In the one hand, there is some disadvantage for advising students that they can achieve anything if they
work
 hard. Some students take
this
advice
 in a negative way.
For instance
, few of them may think, they can achieve anything, whether it's good or bad for them and the society.
On the other hand
, there are more advantages

than
 disadvantages. The
advice
 tells student that nothing is impossible in life, if you
work
 hard.
For example
, recently a survey was conducted among 100 students. All of them were going to attend their 10th STD.

Exam
. They were divided into two groups. One group was left alone, while the students in the
second
 group were motivated. The result was shocking. The students who were motivated passed the exam with flying colours. While, in the
second
 group it was vice versa. In conclusion, there are some negative points. But the positive points are more than

.
Thus
, it covers it vastly. So I think it’s good
advice
 to give to the student that they can achieve whatever they want if they
work
 hard for it.
