Hard Work Will Eventually Pay Off...

C: No duh!

Success Ahead

Me: Well, I learned a few things about training, practice, and hard work.
C: What did you learn?
Me: When you want to succeed, you must practice what ever it is that you want to be good at.
C: You are making sense so far.
Me: Well you see, people have success because they work hard. When you work hard in school, you get good grades in the future. When you train for a sport, you become a really good athlete. It all depends how much you do. Everything reflects no matter what.
C: No matter what?
Me: Yes. No matter what.
C: Can you prove it to me more specifically?
Me: You know Isaac Newton's third law of motion?
C: Yes?
Me: It is like the same thing. "For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction." In our case, for every bit of work and trainning that we do, there will be an equal or opposite situation. Something like that. You know what I mean.
C: So you finally decide to realize this?
Me: Well, what else am I suppose to tell you? I have been really busy. It should all pay off later in the future.
C: But, what made you come up with the idea of hard work?
Me:It was the sport. Track was not what I expected. I wanted to be a champion. I feel like I did not work hard enough for it. Now, I am here, looking back at what could have been. Me as a league champion, and going to city finals. I feel like a looser.
C: You know something?
Me: What?
C: Positive thinking gives you strength as well. you have to develop that strength.
Me: What do you mean?
C: I mean stop whining, and think about how far you actually made it!
Me: You know what? You are right. I have to train hard this summer for Cross Country. It will be all training, practice, and hard work. Hard work will eventually pay off. 
C: What do you suggest to who ever is reading this?

Work Your Way Up To Success

Me: I suggest you work hard, and practice to achieve what you want. If you can, go beyond because I know that all work and training can help you achieve past your goal. Practice and hard work will lead you to success. The only place where you will find success before work, will be in the dictionary.
C: Very good. You better keep your word on becoming better. The key is not to give up what you do. The road to success will be difficult, but as you said, it will pay off.
Me: Are you working hard? Or hardly working?
