CURIOSITY IS A PAID HARD WORK
“Raft upstream swimming to the edge, getting sick first having fun then,” said the proverb. This has been instilled for generations from our predecessors. Indeed there are no “shortcuts” in this life. Everything must proceed.
Life is indeed a process. We (Adam’s children) are not in heaven. We live on an earth full of suffering and obstacles. But always after the obstacle is overcome, there is happiness in the end. Even in the process, we can also feel joyful.
But often if the parents suffer then succeed; the child is not so successful. What’s going on here? Apparently the parents did not transmit the principle of hard work. The parents did not educate the child to be someone who likes to work hard. Here, then, it is where the need for education to instill hard work.
The first, of course, is that hard work education must be done at home. We must make our children aware of the need for the process. To feel the need to work to achieve something, we must teach directly in practice. Children must be able to prepare for themselves what they need. The child must first try to get a plate, take rice, take side dishes, and wash hands before eating. Likewise, children must clean their own food traces, even though there are helpers at home, for example. Things like this can apply hard work education to children.
Bedtime stories can awaken the souls of hard workers in children. The stories of great people around the world can be heard by children before they dream. Especially if the ‘hard work’ is exemplified by his parents in the form of their ‘suffering story’ to their ‘success story.’ Children will also imitate them later when they grow up and grows up.
At school, the teacher must educate their children to work hard to achieve learning achievement. Learning is a process that is passed by all humans. No human can succeed without learning. And that learning is a process that must be passed patiently. There is no knowledge that just comes down from the sky. We must learn continuously, continuously, even if a little: “Little by little, it turns into a hill.”
It applies in the field of business too. No businessman is immediately successful. There needs to be a lesson about failure, which is felt through experiences. The trader needs to feel ‘lonely’ in his merchandise before he knows what will be ‘crowded’ in trading. Those who work in the production and service sectors must always update their capabilities so that their products or services can be needed. There is no time to let your guard down in business, so it seems what is happening in the business world.
In the community, actually, this is the field of proof about this hard work. Because, in society, the battle of competition, rivalry, and the struggle take place all the time. Without a soul of hard work, we will only become mere spectators, standing outside the arena. At best we will only become fans when there are others who become artists, actors, athletes, entrepreneurs, politicians, and other successful works. In the absence of roles, positively, we can only like something that other people make. But negatively, we cannot care, even cynically. And this is a disease, which starts with an individual and can end in society.
In the field of science, the best sequence is the one that has to do with hard work, and the worst is the laziest. The best is ‘those who teach,’ then ‘those who learn,’ then ‘those who listen,’ and finally ‘those who like,’ lessons. After that, it is the worst. Because ‘the fifth’ is the one ‘does not like at all,’ of the lesson.
And hard work is a process to achieve glory. Even to people who are considered incapable. Still, in the field of science, it is often found there are children who are ‘ignorant,’ hard to enter the lesson. However, over time, the child can ‘understand,’ then become ‘capable.’ This is what is taught from the philosophy of ‘water in the cave’ that drips, which after all this time can make the rock beneath eroded to become concave.
