#cultures #children #message
In some cultures, there is a quote to give to
children
 and
that is
 “they can achieve anything if they try hard enough”.
Such
 a quote can give advantages and disadvantages to the
children
.
This
 essay will demonstrate both the pros and cons and consequential outcomes of
this
 word in both views. On the one hand,
such
 a word provides a lot of benefits for
children
. The
first
 benefit is the
children
 will think that the more they keep trying to achieve something, the more they will be successful in their
lives
 which they hope for. They will have hope and courage to persist in doing something for success in their
lives
 without having exhausted.
Moreover
, they will feel that their
lives
 have value from
such
 an act which they keep doing without having hopelessness. Another benefit is that if
children
 face something trouble, they will not feel discouraged or anxious from problems which they are facing.
On the other hand
,
such
 a word
also
 causes some drawbacks as well.
First
, if the
children
 set a goal in their
lives
that is
 too hard and high to accomplish, they may feel disappointed and mournful because they cannot succeed in attaining the objectives which they set. The result of
such
 an act may lead the
children
 to become depressed and commit suicide.
Secondly
,
children
 may decide to keep doing something all the time resulting in suffering from their physical and mental health.
