In some cultures, children are often told that they can achieve anything if they try hard enough. What are advantages/disadvantages of giving this message?
Many
children
have been told try hard is the path that leads to achievement in some cultures. The message of trying hard indeed is nothing wrong with teaching the kids. I would discuss both benefits and drawbacks in the following essay.
On the one hand, it is common to hear people
tell children
to try hard which indeed is a good start to encourage youngsters the way
when they face difficulty. First,
in my experience, trying hard is the way
when you get closer to the goal. For example
, I often failed at math essays when I was a kid, however
, my teacher encouraged me to try hard and give me extra lessons after class, and after ,that I got a great score. Second,
telling the kids to try hard achievement is also
a good way
to avoid them giving up easily. It is easier to give up rather than try hard, this
is why some parents would give children
a reward which encourages them for hard trying and you will get what you want.
However
, something in this
world cannot be earned even though by trying hard or hard work
, and it might be a drawback for kids when they find out that trying hard isn't enough. One of the main merits is that trying hard may not make people
get wealthy or earn fame. For instance
, being a famous actor requires 80% of hard work
and 20% of luck. If there are no good opportunities, great script or time, it is useful for working hard. On the other hand
, many children
only to know
bury themselves in books or Add the particle

work
because the adults told them that trying hard can achieve anything but it turns out many people
don't know how to adjust to the changing circumstances. There was research shows that most successful people
chose a smart way
not a hard way
and many smart people
are usually lazy, so they would choose a relatively efficient way
to complete the work
.
In conclusion, there are benefits to telling children
to study hard, it is a great start and positive encouragement. However
, there are also
disadvantages for children
that cannot be ignored.Submitted by 4949angela on
