WORK HARD & ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR

8/17/2015

I receive a lot of emails from English learners who say, "I've been learning English for years but I'm not improving at all! I'm so frustrated and want to give up."

I hear this all the time and I almost always say, "If you work hard, you will see the fruits of your labor one day."

What does this mean?  Think about a farmer. If he or she works hard on taking care of a plant, the farmer will one day see beautiful and delicious fruit from it. In the same sense, you will see rewards and benefits if you have invested time and effort even if you make mistakes or have to struggled for a while.
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying, Tony Robbins quotes, inspirations quotes to keep doing, don't give up quote, The English Student
I know it can be discouraging to work hard at something but see no progress. Or work hard at something and see others progressing faster than you! We've all experienced this. If learning English is important to you, then putting in effort is better than nothing at all! I understand it's easy to want to give up or convince yourself something is not so important. Maybe you just need a little "push." So that's what I'm doing today!

Before I end, I want to share this wonderful TED Talk by Richard St. John on Why It Pays To Work Hard. It's only six minutes long but worth your time if you need some inspiration. He is humorous and a very clear speaker.

One of the most important things he says is that success is not talent but the ability to work hard. In the end, work wins over smarts!

After watching or listening to it, don't forget to do the quiz on the right-hand side to test your English comprehension.

As always, I love hearing about your struggles, your achievements or frustrations in learning English. Share your story - email me or comment below. I'm sure so many others have the same experience as you! You're not alone.
