In this article, we are shown that the world is filled with too much praise. We have become a society where failure is almost at the same level as success.

In this publication, we are shown that one needs to push through their failures instead of staying down and taking the pity road. Also, we are shown that an active interest needs to be taken in order to reach success.
This website shows how kids raised in an environment where success is not displayed are likely to follow their parents example and, therefore, will not be able to locate the capability to work hard. They need to take initiative and steer their destiny in the right direction.

In this article, we see how sports, specifically gymnastics on this site, can influence the desired work ethic in children. In gymnastics, you cannot be given anything; you have to work for it. This teaches children that you do indeed have to work for something and not expect it to be spoon-fed to you.
