Quote
As Carol Dweck says, "Effort is one of the things that gives meaning to life. Effort means you care about something, that something is important to you and you are willing to work for it. It would be an impoverished exsistance if you were not willing to value things and commit yourself to working toward them."
Comment
I really like this quote because it speaks in general terms about having effort and what it means in various situations that are essential to the way you live your life. In my own interpretation, the quote to me meant that effort is what you make out of it, either you apply it to how you live and depending on different situations you may encounter yourself, effort can be developed throughout these situations and may be beneficial towards the way you might see life afterwards. Having said that, in simple terms to me it means that basically if you don't have effort in any point in your life, then you really didn't live a good life and there was no point of living your life without any struggles and what not. Effort is a simple skill that I think everyone acquires at a certain point in their life and its up to them weather or not to take advantage of it.
Connection
I can absolutely connect with what this quote is defining because there has been numerous ocassions in my life in which I've had to use effort to try and work for the things that I want and am passionate about. If it weren't for the effort I put into each and every situation I encounter, then the point of having the reward at the end is pointless because you need to feel satisfied with your hard work.
Questions
Why do some people have no effort what so ever in what they do? Does this help peoples self esteem to know that they can accomplish something, anything with effort, something they didn't expect to accomplish?
