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

In some cultures, teenagers are often taught that they can accomplish anything they wish for if they try hard.

This

message serves well as an inspiration for young

children

, yet it could have a negative impact on them as well. On the one hand, some

countries

, especially in undeveloped

countries

, usually teach their

children

to stay be realistic rather than dreaming of something

that is

impossible and

that is

the reason why

such

countries

cannot develop

further

. Lack of dreams, ambitions, or inspirations is detrimental to any society. People should be encouraged to dream big and aim high.

For example

, if some adults told Neil Armstrong that he should be realistic rather than telling him to dream big and try hard

then

there would be no men on the moon. So, the message that people can accomplish anything if they are trying hard is one of the essential factors of successful

countries

.

On the other hand

,

this

trend brings about drawbacks as well. Despite

this

message can motivate and inspire a lot of kids, telling it to the wrong group of people may result in negative effects.

For example

, telling kids who are blind due to a car accident that they could see the world again if they are trying hard.

In other words

, something is really not possible, giving unrealistic hope rather than helping cope with the truth is irresponsible.

Although

, in some cases, it is better to teach

children

to be realistic rather than giving them inspiration. In conclusion,

although

this

massage is a key to success in every society, yet it may cause negative impacts if it is told to a particular group of

children

.

However

, it is important to convey these kinds of messages to the right audience.
