Denzel mean't in his quote that it is good to progress and try new things and when denzel said hardship it mean't to never be hard on something or never give up try harder every time.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Denzel Washington was saying what is easy wont take you as far as what you work for so you need to strive to succeed and you need to be committed in what you do.          When he said Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship he meant that sure you can take the easier road the clean road with no cracks in it but that&#39;ll take you nowhere. But if you take the harder way the way that has the cracks in the road and the rocks in the road then you&#39;ll have to strive to understand that everything is not handed to you on a silver platter so you have to work hard.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think that he ment that if you never work for anything you will never get anything accomplished like if you dont understand somthing on your test and then you cheat, you will never understand the question if you don"t you solve it yourself and some people try to take the easy way out and end up messing up beacuse you don't know if the other person has the answer right.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In my point of view I must concieve that Denzel was telling young instead of old that ''Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship'' because when your in hardtimes and you have a dream your more determined to get progress done than if it was very simple than you wouldn't have to do much work and you would get less progress done, as an example:<br><br>if your trying to learn piano and you have no fingers your more determined to play piano than some one who has all their fingers.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

I think that Denzel was encouraging children to keep following their dreams and they would work hard so they could accomplish their goals and he ment that "ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship" he  ment it won't be easy trying to accomplish your goals    #black history month

What he's saying is don't expect to do things with ease, because that level of effort will surely hamper your progress. When ease is expected we tend to slow down or stop when things get tough. That is why the expectation of hardship is always the way to go. It has the quality of perseverance.

A way with challenges always is the one with less competition and a lot of successes compared to a easy way with less challenges but high competition and little success.

He meant; hardship has lesser threats to your progress, but ease will threaten your progress all the way. Hardship is better, because you can fall down 7 times and get up the 8th time which makes you stronger than before. The hard way sometimes is the only way.

"Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship"
I think Denzel was sending the message of if you want progress hardship is required taking the easy way isn't as reliable. if we fail don't give in try again and learn from trial.

I think what denzel  was trying to say that if stuff is always easy for us we will never be challenged in life.I also think it means that if you keep perservering and never give up you will acomplish more things in life.

When something's easy it never lasts or it could turn againist you. So basically If you don't work hard in something. You will never achive what you are aiming for. And even if you work hard, you have to be consitant in what you or you will never have sucess.

when he said ease is a greater threat to progres than  hardship that when you ease still never give up because your not going to realy finish the thing you want to do good

Denzel meant by ease is greater threat to progress than hardship is that it is better to work hard than be doing the easy.

 He was trying to tell young people that  they should never give up and they should,"Fall down seven times but get up eight times."Also that Ease is a threat to progress because when something is easy your not putting the accuall effort needed into something and you dont ACCOMPLISH anything. Verses if you work hard and never give up and PERSERVERE you'll ACCOMPLISH many things.

He was saying that if you keep on doing easy things then you will never move on and get to learn more thing so have to try somthing more challenging. The other thing is that doing easy things will get in the way of what you really have to do. It will also slow you down and it wont get you anywhere in life but the same place you where before. 
I TKINK THAT IT TO Never give up you have to push your self to reach your goals and acheivments you have to keep pushing and when you ail keep trying until you get is wright

What I think Denzel is saying is that if it is easy it is most likely that it will have no impact but if it's hard it will have a impact on you.

the message i think he was sending was that you should never give up what he means is that if some thing is easy to you it wont help you you you wont be learning anything you need to learn some thing harder it will teach you some thing new

Denzels message is that you should keep trying and trying and challenge your self into harder things.

In my point of view I must concieve that Denzel was telling young instead of old that ''Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship'' because when your in hardtimes and you have a dream your more determined to get progress done than if it was very simple than you wouldn't have to do much work and you would get less progress done, as an example:

if your trying to learn piano and you have no fingers your more determined to play piano than some one who has all their fingers. 
Sekayi: Denzel means he is sending a good messeage because he was saying to the young people just keep on trying harder and harder

I think that he ment that if you never work for anything you will never get anything accomplished like if you dont understand somthing on your test and then you cheat, you will never understand the question if you don"t you solve it yourself and some people try to take the easy way out and end up messing up beacuse you don't know if the other person has the answer right.

Denzel was sending to young people that never give up, push yourself up when you think you can't do something keep trying

The message he was sending was probaly telling people to never give up and to never take the easy way around and challenge yourself.I think when he said,"Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship" he ment that if you keep tryin the easy things in life you will not progress and  if you choose the harder things in life you will learn more and get better at whatever that task was.
Denzel Washington was saying what is easy wont take you as far as what you work for so you need to strive to succeed and you need to be committed in what you do. When he said Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship he meant that sure you can take the easier road the clean road with no cracks in it but that'll take you nowhere. But if you take the harder way the way that has the cracks in the road and the rocks in the road then you'll have to strive to understand that everything is not handed to you on a silver platter so you have to work hard.

Denzels message was about perserviering and to never give up and keep trying. Denzel mean't in his quote that it is good to progress and try new things and when denzel said hardship it mean't to never be hard on something or never give up try harder every time.

When Denzel said, "Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship" He means its not good to always take the easy way out of things you need to take the hard path to learn more.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>He is saying that trying to take the easy path will enable you to remain stagnate in developing your own skills and abilities because that only happens when we have to experience NEW challenges and adapt our behavior. So taking the hard path and sticking to that CONSISTENTLY will allow you to forever be growing and becoming better and better as you overcome challenges until you have become a complete master of your craft. Meanwhile those on the easy track don't even compare because they avoided the challenges because it made them uncomfortable. I tell my workers that you should TRY to do uncomfortable things everyday or any chance you get because that is how you grow and adapt. I love a good challenge. So therefore, your OVERALL progress is greater when you stick to the disciplined path. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>These lines signify, that everyone has a deep desire to progress in their life but 80% cant because they try easy way, so Washington here wants to say that if u want to progress u have to go through hardship (persevere in ur hardwork and give ur 100%)  even if u dont succeed u will always feel content that u have given ur best and may u dont able to achieve materialistic success but u come close to ultimate aim for human to become best version of yourself and in ease u cant acheive any aim ultimate and materialistic amd ease will give u guilt that may be u could do better so go through hardship u will always progress. Thanks i think it might be helpful, GOOD LUCK</div>]]></description>
