"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."
- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

  1. Hard work affects our lives by encouraging physical strength, cooperation, a more positive outlook, "thicker skin", a tougher personality, and a "just do it" attitude. Consequences of not doing hard-work include laziness, negativity, procrastination, and excuses. Hard work improves a person's physical health by making them stronger, improves their mental health by creating a more "on top of it" attitude, and improves their emotional health by creating a more appreciative outlook on life.
    Although these side effects aren't true for everyone they are common for hard workers

  2. JEREMY,
    I totally agree with the quote but to me you don't get lucky you actuall deservive it because if you work hard at something better you come at it. When you work hard it becomes easy to you instead of just giving up you are more successful at it. It is also a good thing to work hard to, and i would have to agree with everything " BART THOMAS"

    I believe that you must work hard to achieve what you want in life other wise you will never truly succeed and the consequences for not working hard is you will not do what you were suppose to I believe everyone has a purpose and through hard work you will for fill your purpose.also you need a good work ethic otherwise your mind and body will tire and you will not be in good condition because with out a good work ethic you endup doing thing last minute and you will be worried and stressed all the time and stress leads to all kindes of bad things like WRINKLES!!! And that by fare is the worst thing that can happen!(not really but it is really bad) so yeah that is my opinion. :)

    It's good to have a good work ethic because if we work hard, I believe that we could get anything we want in the long run. If people didn't work hard then they won't achieve anything. Some consequences for not working hard would be: bosses wouldn't be able to trust you, and you wouldn't be able to keep a job. A benefit of hard work would be to succeed. Having a good work ethic would affect you physically by being physically energetic, it would affect you mentally by feeling happy and accomplished, and it can affect your emotional health by being positive.

  6. I believe having a good working ethic will cause the outcome to be more rewarding because spending more time and effort into your work will make you more proud of your work. Not working hard will affect negatively at a young age, forming a bad habit that's tougher to overcome and makes it more difficult to see any work or effort present.

    Working hard and having a good work ethic helps when it comes to wanting to get things done. Say you want to go to the movies on Saturday but you still have a lot of homework left to do that's do on Monday. Well if you do all your work Friday night then Saturday you are free to do what you want. If you don't work hard, it can affect your grades and can stress you out. If you wait till the last minute to do things, then you won't want to do your work, and then you might forget work or your work will be rushed so the grade will be low. Having a good work ethic can also keep you from having stress or always being tired because you will be able to sleep well at night and you are able to know that all your work is done.
