an all or nothing and at all cost when it comes to success in today’s society. The demands to be successful can be so stressful for our children, that they are willing to lie, cheat and sometimes steal on order to reach their goal of success. Hard work is not good enough and they seem not to be worried about the path of success. The primary goal is to get there. There are some parents who live vicariously through their children. The parent’s demands are rooted in clandestine and selfish motives…

expected to be able to complete less work than men, and they are not seen as able to withstand harder physical work. With this, it has been seen as acceptable all throughout society to pay women less than men considering they could not do the same amount of work. Additionally, women are thought to be very sickly and weak during their “time of the month”. Society also has valued the reproductive system on women immensely. The idea that women should not work too hard due to the possibility of becoming…

2015 The Value of Hard Work Essentially, the concept of one’s ability to participate in manual labor has been juxtaposed with strength and endurance. However, it is not considerable to say that white-collar are always “weaker” than other labors because a person needs both the effectiveness in physical works and the mental effort that he/she gives in order to be successful on works. With this belief, I will analyze three opinions about hard work in Crawford, Braaksma, and Colon works. To begin, manual…

There is a population of people that are expected to be naturally successful, however they are not. There is an ongoing debate on whether natural talent is more superior than hard work. Some believe that being naturally talented gives one an advantage, others believe that hard work is more important. Although both may be true, natural talent gives people a head start, it does not mean they are going to keep wanting to improve. It is also believed that when gifted people are children they are given…

equipment, creating a menu and the most important part of all getting the money. Starting a business is hard work but it should be. Having a business isn’t easy and having successful business is very hard. But getting all of the pieces together start a business is like puzzle. Once created it will be great but getting all the pieces to fit is hard work. Picking out the name of my bakery is very hard because when people will talk about be they will hopefully be refuting to my bakery which means using…

Work For It Some people sit back and think about how good of a life they have, while others are wondering why they are constantly feeling like they are at a disadvantage. This is what Namit Arora, discusses in his essay “What Do We Deserve?” He often thinks to himself, “How much of my good life do I really deserve? Why me and not so many others?” (Arora 87) and what he means by this is, why is it fair that he receives so many rewards in life when others are struggling to pay the bills. Well I completely…

The Latino “Hard Work” Complex and its Perpetuation in Modern America Immigration is not an unheard of occurrence in the United States. The portrayal of undocumented individuals, however, continues to be an everlasting issue that clouds the nation’s judgement of other cultures. The “American Dream” has been the notion that propels many undocumented worker’s ambitions and aspirations to relentlessly work hard, especially for those who have immigrated to the United States, but undocumented workers…

benefits of hard work. But why is it that some people seem to feel that “hard work” is a dirty word nowadays? I define “hard work” as work that is challenging. Both hard work and “working hard” (i.e. putting in the time required to get the job done) are required for success. A problem occurs when people think of challenging work as painful or uncomfortable. Does challenging work necessarily have to be painful? No, of course not. In fact, a major key to success is to learn to enjoy challenging work AND…

“Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep our eyes on the goals, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If we are not sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which work better”. (John Carmack) As each day that we live there is always something we want to accomplish in our life span to remember for the rest of our live and for that reason we set goals to plan and work for it. Goals are what give us direction in life setting us a personal target to shoot…

Hard work is the key to success and education shows a right path for a hard worker. A journey of new opportunities, possibilities, and challenges begins when one moves to the United States. The first challenge that I faced upon my arrival to America was the English language. I still remember my first day of work at a convenience store. I was looking at the customers faces and trying to understand what they want. After a year I thought I improved my English skills, but when I took my accuplacer…
