in some cultures, children are often told that they can achieve anything if they hard enough. What are the advantages and disadvantages of giving children this message?

In some societies around the world,

children

are broadly convinced that they can attain all of their objectives and overcome any hurdle by dint of striving. In fact, there is a high likelihood of those

children

having a successful professional life;

however

, it would

also

place a strain on them, with

children

’s mental well-being being adversely affected. Teaching

children

the value of industriousness is worthwhile. When

children

endeavour and achieve what they have worked for, it gives them a sense of accomplishment. Not only does

this

boost their self-confidence, but it

also

increases their self-esteem. Another positive aspect is that

this

can foster a variety of skills needed for their future lives, for ,instance perseverance, with

children

growing into well-rounded, tenacious adults. They,

moreover

, learn about their abilities and limitations, thereby expanding their comfort zones. Ergo, only by motivating

children

to strive can they thrive. Notwithstanding the aforementioned profoundly positive implications, there are some compelling reasons why it would be prejudicial to

children

mental health. One of the underlying problems with instilling

this

notion into them is a sense of frustration. By way of example,

children

may set an unrealistic goal of being rich at the age of 15, and if they cannot reach

this

when they reach that age, they would be disappointed. As they grow older, they become increasingly disillusioned. Another drawback is that they would hold high-performance expectations for themselves, and stringently evaluate their performances. They might,

therefore

, be at risk of suffering from higher levels of burnout, depression, and stress in both the long- and short-term. In conclusion, I take the view that

although

spurring them to be industrious is highly beneficial to their career prospects, it is a fallacy that everything they have a desire for is attainable, so they should

also

be taught that there are some constraints in the real world, along with the importance of hard work;

otherwise

,

this

nurture would impose a burden on them, with

children

suffering from anxiety.
