This term used,
by many well-to-do individuals and persons in leadership roles, is to motivate young persons to achieve success. From birth, childhood to adolescence, young
persons are encouraged, engaged and educated to work hard to accomplish
assigned tasks, but what is truly needed, is to make these tasks exciting and
interesting. Eco-socioeconomic development requires such people, skilled and
talented, to be creative and innovative, and love their productivity. Most
persons, however, do work hard, at tasks their clearly hate, to pay basic
bills, always worried about the next meal, child care, living expenses and cannot
afford to be sick. Unfortunately, many young people, learning from peers, hears
“Hard Work” as quick, easy pay, loving the pay not the work.
Education, with
its long-term benefits, involves a recognized passion for the love of learning,
the creative curiosity for critical thinking, a burning need for the
fundamental surrounding skills, the discipline for talent development, and the desired
to give the best to the professional practice. Such requires teachers, mentors
and experts, who love to teach, encourage and engage with students, apprentices
and trainees, who love to learn and improve their respective disciplines. With
measurements all along the way, the mission is to share and test a common sense
basic understanding on the relevant subject matter, selecting persons who
demonstrate a passion to continue on this path, and involve such junior
specialists with experience experts in charting future cases.
Opportunities, to
discover and showcase skills and talents, are essential and must be designed
and created all along the path of life, to match persons to productivity; at all
stages of self-development and with direct impact on innovation. Social and
economic development grows from creativity and invention, an entrepreneurial
spirit, which permeates the human race, forming prospects which improves
standards of living and drives future adaptations of skills and talents. It is
for the joy of such activities that humanity trains, practices and matures into
experts, and searches and mentors others, to continue productive events. Noting
that, the most difficult part in matching education to opportunity, and vice
versa, the “Hard Work”, is in finding the calling before having to simply
survive.
Basic living
expenses, if cannot be met to maintain life and happiness, is what makes work
hard. Social services, to provide essentials to those who cannot meet their own
needs, is only part of the solution. Retraining and counseling, lifting
families out of poverty, by harnessing skills and talents and matching to
opportunities, while providing a stipend or living wage for productive
activities, should also be incorporated. Society needs many drones, trained by
repetition to maintain control, with the promise of rewards and recognizing success
through “Hard Work” that benefits those who have, more than those who do. Clock
a card, build or fix, serve and record, and be paid, just enough to meet living
expenses, rent or mortgage a home, earn a pension and leave life insurance for
the next generation.
Crime, with its
high risks factors, consist of the same “Hard Work”; detail project and
financial planning, human resource and time management, coordinating
implementation, and measuring each and every performance, to achieve the set
objective and claim success. Failures, with consequences of a bad grade,
disappointing the family and with the resulting social shunning, is seen as the
same for any aspect of mental or physical work. Hence, incarceration, bringing
inexperience together with experience, is simply higher learning. Getting away
with crime, compared to the “Hard Work” of the education system, is the same as
passing exams, earning accreditations and being promoted to the next level.
