If the money I’ll make from learning a skill is my drive for learning the skill, do I stand a chance of committing to it and learn fast?
There is nothing worse than having to wake up every morning during the week to mindlessly go do work you don’t even care about. However, this is never really an issue when you are passionate about the work you do. If you are not forced to work somewhere because of monetary constraint, you truly enjoRead more
There is nothing worse than having to wake up every morning during the week to mindlessly go do work you don’t even care about. However, this is never really an issue when you are passionate about the work you do. If you are not forced to work somewhere because of monetary constraint, you truly enjoy what you do and you never really work a day in your life.
See lessWhen you put passion first into learning a skill or a work you do, you can relate more to the work and come up with better ideas. Being forced to do work is one of the most draining experiences. While there are times at every job where you may feel the work may be draining and dull, you have to realize that not every day is going to be an enjoyable one. There are highs and lows, but when you are passionate about the work you you look past the dull days. Your creative process is also different. You are more inclined to come up with creative ideas when you like what you do.
If punishment does not make a child more brilliant, why then do parents punish their kids over bad grades?
I believe that punishment is an effective to reinforce good grades. The parents are paying for their child's education and the child should respect the parents by working hard at school.

I believe that punishment is an effective to reinforce good grades. The parents are paying for their child’s education and the child should respect the parents by working hard at school. I know that children care more about technology than school and good grades. I believe that anything lower than a C should result in a removal of phone or other privileges until the grade is raised, unless the child has a learning disability of course. I also believe that the child should talk to their teachers if they don’t understand a lesson because it is their responsibility for their grade, not the parents. Removing privileges is effective because it gives the child less distraction and more time to study. I don’t believe that physical punishment should be used as a reinforcement for grades because this can lead to child abuse. Also, the distractions are still there and the student can’t focus on their schoolwork. From my point of veiw, physical reinforcements don’t solve the problem, but rather postpones the problem for later until the child can’t take it any more and rages out like adding gas to a flame. I think that there is relatively no harm in removing privileges as punishment for poor grades, and I find it to be really effective. I honestly would rather lose privileges, for a little while, than to get poor grades and end up in a low paying job for the rest of my life.
