So I kind of left my last blog hanging. Yeah, I guess I purposely did that. I have noticed that more and more, I think especially with technology that our generations are getting lazier and lazier. We don't want to work as hard any more, and expect just as much or more. Talk to someone who grew up 50 yrs ago. It was work work. And then someone who grew up 70 yrs ago (the previous generation). They came from the Depression era, and life was work work work. You had to work, there was nothing just given you, work for it or you had absolutely nothing.
So the connection in life between success and effort has been lost in a way. People want to succeed in life and try and do it with as little effort as possible.
Yes there might be some that have found their place in life, and have made it. But, most that have achieved anything have had to put forth effort.
So here it is again, the definition of effort.
ef·fort \ˈe-fərt, -ˌfȯrt\
noun
1 : conscious exertion of power
2 : a serious attempt
3 : something produced by exertion or trying
4 : effective force as distinguished from the possible resistance called into action by such a force
5 : the total work done to achieve a particular end <the war effort>
Nothing in life will be truly achieved without effort.
You want to succeed in life? better find some effort.
