Next, your water and feed the plant as it grows, meaning, once you have found a passion, you invest countless hours into its development. The full harvest is the fruition of hard work, the accomplishment of a goal. But like crops, goals require much time, effort, and persistence in order to thrive.

In my life, I have always enjoyed challenges. Most of these I have self imposed as a way to become better in some aspect of life. In order to overcome a challenge, it takes perseverance, dedication, and courage. If you always do what's easy, you will definitely miss out on that satisfying feeling of accomplishment knowing your worked hard to achieve a goal. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886782 bhpapa https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886866 I believe that hard work is one of the most important aspects of a successful life. An example in my life of this is practice for sports. Dedication and competition certainly helps me work hard, so when I know I will be competing, it helps me train as hard as possible for certain events. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886866 19iwanowicza https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886903 This quote reminds us that persistence is essential, and goals cannot be met without a great deal of hard work. Personally, I meet my goals to succeed academically by spending hours studying and completing homework assignments each week. I also try to eat well and sleep enough, so that I can perform at my best during class time. Often, I might try to skate by and do the bare minimum required to function, but in the long run this is deeply unsatisfying.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886903 19shoueyg https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886944 I think this is very true. The best way to succeed is to complement an initial interest with lots of hard work and determination. This leads to lots of enjoyable experiences and the long term success of your goals. This quote is one that is applicable to everyone and one everyone should know of.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886944 19kisha https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886976 I agree with this quote and have seen many examples of this in my own life as well. Most of my examples are school related, specifically with my grades. However, the example I have is in my Cosmetology programs with prom and wedding updos. I wasn't very good at them at first, but I kept on practicing and trying to improve my skills. Now, I am much better at updos and feel confident in my abilities.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886976 19christensonc https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886988 Working hard to achieve success is always important. No matter what we do, if we want to reach our goals we have to work for it. Nothing will be handed to you just because you want it. Personally, I always try to work hard with my school work. I edit and reedit my papers several times, and the payoff is always great in the end.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242886988 20cookb1 https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887040 For many of us, high school is a chance to plant seeds that will eventually grow into the harvest of a career, a family, or a meaningful event in our lives. Hard work is arguably the most important factor in reaching goals. I hope to continue to put hard work into my high school education that will result in the harvest of a good college education and the career of my choice.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887040 19mackeyk https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887042 I think this quote is true and accurately describes the importance of hard work. I believe that in order to achieve success in life hard work is the most important aspect. Although it is not viewed as difficult, I do have to put hard work in for cheer, which includes keeping myself healthy by going to the gym, I also put in hard work for school to maintain good grades.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887042 19galbraithc https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887055 It does take hard work to succeed. I have been baking since about 6th grade, making cakes for people in the hopes of being hired to make a wedding cake one day. Just recently, I was hired to make two wedding cakes this year. If you work hard on a passion you have, you will succeed, even if it takes a long time.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887055 19ward_diorior https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887084 I put in hard work for cross country over the part two summers, and because of that hard work, I ran varsity for all of the races I ran, until I got injured, and scores a point to win out division this year. My hard work pushed other people to work just as hard, and I was pushed to get faster and stronger by my teammates who were working and putting in just as much effort as myself. You can't get faster in running if you don't put in the miles or the proper training. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887084 19ornera https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887091 This quote puts into perspective how much effort is needed to succeed at something. By putting it into simple terms, it is easy to understand that hard work needs to be put into something if you want something good and attainable to come out of it.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887091 https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887160 This quote is a very important one to follow in life. If you are following a specific dream or trying to succeed at something in particular, the only way to meet that goal is to work hard. You have to work hard for what you want, and this metaphor is a perfect representation of that theory. I can relate to this because I want to be successful after high school and pursue a college education, and in order to do so, I need to work hard now. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887160 19karpera https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887236 I usually do not put very much effort into things, I tend to do the bare minimum to still achieve what I want: studying, exercising, cleaning, socializing, etc... I have started to realize that hard work will get me further than anything else in my life. If I continue to put in the same amount of effort and dedication, I will continue to get the same, moderate results but I will not fully succeed or improve. I think this quote metaphorically shows the power of achievement through hard work in a positive way. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887236 https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887237 Along with the simile of trying to harvent something that you haven't planted, it is essential to nourish something such as a plant with sunlight, water, and soil in order for it to thrive. This parallels my pursuit of learning the French language. I have taken courses of French throughout high school, but if I want my skill to flourish beyond, I need to put in more effort to nourish that knowledge.]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887237 19lohmank https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887266 This year, I am working hard inside and outside of school to create my pages for the yearbook. After a lot of time and effort, my pages are starting to come together and I think the book will turn out really great. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887266 19aunkstl https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887388 This quote can be applied to my life in many different ways. A lot of the time, I put in not as much work as I should, but yet expect to succeed. Sometimes, this does work, which is great, but most of the time, it does not. Then, there are instances where I put in a lot of work, and do not get anything out of it. I guess it just depends on the situation. Something I put a lot of effort into is school. Sometimes I am rewarded, and sometimes not so much. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887388 19warddioriol https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887562 Everyone has dreams that they strive for. Everyone is capable of achieving those dreams. What separates those who find success is often handwork and persistence. I have seen this demonstrated clearly in school. I can only achieve the grades I want from studying and asking questions.]]> 2018-03-16 15:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242887562 https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242888041 This quote is quite relevant to today's society in the sense that people expect the best outcome, even without putting in any work. They, in a sense, expect the best as a default and not as a reward for hard work. ]]> 2018-03-16 15:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242888041 19o_brienn https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242890605 I like this quote because the new generations expect that everything comes to them immediately. Most tasks require patience; it is difficult to learn a new sport or an instrument etc. Investing countless hours is a necessity in order to reap the harvest at the end. Perhaps this changing perspective is due to the internet and it's rapidity with which it operates. We can access the biggest and the best so fast, and it seems so easy to the people we see. We anticipate the same result but they also had to work hard.]]> 2018-03-16 15:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/242890605 19stillj https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/243283214 This quote is very relevant, especially in modern society and even in high school. Many children these days believe that simply wishing something will make it come true, or that they can just work off raw talent and it will give them everything they need. However, many realize later on that success would have come if they had simply worked enough for it. I think it is important to be involved, to ask question and to be engaged, and to work for your accomplishments, because that's when they pay off and mean something to you in the end.]]> 2018-03-19 00:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/20cookb1/9zxcoxh10i5k/wish/243283214
