We all know the saying from childhood: “You can’t even catch a fish from a pond without labor,” adults repeated it to us more than once. However, its meaning, as a rule, begins to be understood a little later, in adolescence and youth, when a person thinks about the meaning of life, sets specific goals for himself and tries to achieve them. They can be different - graduating from school or university with a gold medal, winning a competition, moving up the career ladder, starting your own business.
Maybe you don't have to work?
Each victory is valuable because you invest in it a part of yourself, a part of your soul and, of course, a large amount of effort and effort. Do you agree? As the saying goes, a prize is valuable only when it comes with difficulty. Is it true? Let's reason.
Some may disagree with this statement and say that the main thing is the result, not whathow it was achieved. For example, it's no secret to anyone that you can buy a red diploma of higher education, practically without studying and without putting any work into it, you only need a tidy sum of money. But will it be valuable? After all, a person does not have the necessary knowledge in the chosen speci alty and is unlikely to be able to work in this area - be it psychology, law or medicine. In the latter, solid and fundamental knowledge is especially important; human lives depend on it. Another example. You won a competition or competition only because the judge is your good acquaintance or friend. It would seem that what else is needed? The prize is in your hands, you are famous, you have admirers … All this, of course, is wonderful, but will you experience moral satisfaction? Hardly. After all, you always appreciate only those things that you get with difficulty. This is human psychology.
Doubts creep in…
You can smile contemptuously and say: “But someone in life gets everything without much difficulty … And they are not at all tormented by remorse.” Yes, it's clear what you mean. We althy parents, influential relatives, good connections. Such people can be found quite often, especially among modern pop stars, politicians, actors…
Sometimes it really hurts… Why do ordinary people have to go to work every day to earn money, and for some everything is given just like that. Probably, each of us came into this world with some kind of mission and must fulfill it, thereforethat's how it happens. Everyone should experience hardships and make efforts to become better and more perfect. Therefore, you should not look at others, you should always go your own way, but at the same time striving for a better life. You must remember that success is only valuable when it comes with difficulty. Nothing else.
Work and hardworking people have always been valued. That is why there are so many sayings that are relevant in our time. For example, “Heroes are born in labor”, “There is no fruit without good labor”, “Without labor, rest cannot be sweet”. We will talk about the latter later.
Price of vacation
It's safe to say that rest is valuable only when it comes with difficulty. After hard work, free hours are much more valuable than when there are many of them. People who have a lot to do are much better at planning their leisure time than those who have a lot of free time. After hard work and rest is not a sin, right?
Let's talk about success
So, we came to the conclusion that the real victory goes only to the most inflexible, most hard work. Some tips on how to be successful in life:
- Continuous improvement. Use every opportunity to improve: read books, talk to smart people.
- Forget about laziness. Truth. You must forget that she exists.
- Set a goal and go for it, regardless of the obstacles. Don't forget aboutthat only persistent people can achieve something meaningful in life.
- Don't back down when defeated. Failure is an excuse to get up and start over.
- Be decisive, don't be afraid to change something in your life to achieve your goal.
- And never forget: a prize is valuable only when it comes with difficulty. This is the essence of our life.
Be hardworking and persistent! You will succeed! Good luck to you in life! But it's only valuable when it's hard to come by!
