The Value of Hard Work
If you want to succeed in life you need to be a hardworking person. From getting a job to excelling in school your need to make an effort. Also people will trust you more for this. As a result they will give you more leniency. If you want something you need to be proactive and take the initiative.
One area where this is particularly important is academics. If you work hard in school it will result in getting into the college you want and getting good grades. For example math doesn’t come naturally to me so I’ve had to study and practice to get better. Also if you get your assignments done then you will also have more free time.
You also need to be determined in any job you have. Employers are looking for people who they cant trust to be responsible, hard workers. If you can show them that you can efficiently get your work done, then you will be more likely to get promotions and raises. Businesses also want hardworking people to fill their management positions.
Hard work is also essential in sports. This was my first year playing softball and I loved it. I want to try out for the high school team next year, but sine I’ve only played one year I need a lot of practice. I’ve had to work very hard to get to improve my skills.
In conclusion, hard work is the only way to excel in life, especially in Sports, academics, and at a job. You can’t go through life assuming that people will do your work for you or that you’re not equipped to do something. You need to take charge and work hard.
