  2. You are going to have your hardships in life. Those are garenteed. You can't get stronger if you don't struggle. When you success in something, you have to go through your troubles. A seed has to have rain before it can become a beautiful flower.

  3. No matter what it is you do, you are always going to have something standing in your way so you might have to struggle in order to get through it. Everyone has their problems and they all have their own strategies of getting themselves out. But if you do not try to get out of your problem or struggle then you will not be able to make it through and you will be stuck there because you chose to not make any progress.

  4. You always have to go through something to grow up. If you don’t have to experience hard times how will you ever know how to grow up and become a better person? If you never have to struggle for anything and always have everything handed to you never know how it feels to have to work for something. When you have to go through struggles it always makes you a better person.

  5. The message inthe the quote is blunt. There is no other way of interpreting it. Regardless of that, I do not entirely agree with it. Yes, a great amount of progress comes from struggling, but that is not the only way to achieve progress. Sometimes struggling can make you get farther away from your goal.

  6. Well what this means is that everybody has a struggle no matter what you go threw because no one in life is perfect...So in order for you to have progress you will more than likely have a struggle to go alone with that progress you have.!!

  8. You have to work hard and try your best to get the things that you want. You will face hardships on your way but it is the hardships that make the success on our journey. You will never see a process being made if u don't face challenges. Everyone will have problem but it is up to you to fix it and make something better of it.

  11. This says to me that with out work, effort,and time put into something then you won't get anything out of it. That we have to strive for what we want and to succeed in life. Nothing will ever come to us easily and we must work for everything we want in this life.

  12. This qoute is saying to me. Is that hardwork/struggling times pays off very good in they end . To me sometimes not going threw challengeing things in life is way of; cheating beacuse, whens there a real struggle there will be no one there . To always show you how to deal with it. HardWork Pays off at the End !

  14. Without enduring tough situations,you will not grow. In order to achieve things you must know how to get past obstacles to reach your goal. Whether it be something as simple as a class or something major such as finding solutions to poverty, you must know how to face problems. We gain knowlege through experience. Through knowlege we can further our understanding and move on to greater things. Thus, we will continue to progress and achieve our wanted destinations.

  16. I agree with the fact that you can't have progress without the struggle. For example, if you happen to get into an incident for the first time, you probably won't know what to do. You haven't had any experience with that before. That's why we find ourselves in things that we don't understand because it's only God getting us mentally, emotionally, physically stable for whats He's doing. He's getting you prepared for the next time, if it should happen. He's going to get the glory out of your struggle, so I say embrace your trials. He won't keep you there forever. So be patient, keep the faith, and don't give up!

  17. To me this is saying that when you work hard to get or do something, the satisfaction or the feeling that you have afterwards would feel more great because you know that you earned it. As the saying goes "hard work pays off". With out some obstacles to go through, you would think that it was an easy journey. You learn more when you experience it.

  18. This quote means to me that everything is not going to be easy for you. There is going to be quite a little struggle but you'll get through it and you'll start to understanding it. You can't give up. Hard work doess pay off in a long run. Whatever you are trying to progress may leads to struggle but that don't mean you have to get mad and give up. You just have to give it some time and keep oushing yourself. Later on in life you will be happy that you pushed your way out of that struggle.

  19. I believe this quote is self-explanitory. In order to move forward, you need to be taught a lesson from the first challenge. I believe that this quote is saying that the struggle is the way to progress to the next level.

  20. IN order to have any success in life you need drive. Without any problems you wouldn't do anything substancial. These problems are just here to help you get better as a person.

  22. ..you can't do nothing in life then expect for life to give you something good in return..you must work for everything that you have..when you have a struggle you realize the principles and values you are working for and learn to cherish them even more than you did before..the stuggle is teaching you life long lessons that you will use forever..this is the way you progress through life..if all you do is RECIEVE things you would never know what a struggle is let alone progression..you also learn that things aren't served on a golden platter therefore you must work hard for everything you have and you will see the progression..

  25. The meaning of this quote to me is that when achieving something in life, you want it feel like you work for it and it wasn't just given to you. Meaning in life you should want to work hard in life to make an complishment seem meaningless, than just given to you like a pat on the back. Also achieving in life you might not succed the first time, but it is making you closer to making progress in life. Skin conclusion on this quote don't choose the easy way out if it can be accomplish by you. And when achieving in life it's something you can say I did this, no one but me did this.

  28. True acheivement is when you've pushed into your passions with whatever tools, talents, & resources that you may have in order to bring it to pass. The struggle is hard but the results are rewarding.

  29. No struggle truly equals no progress. When one struggles, they realize what they have accomplished. There is a greater appreciation for that accomplishment. Struggle gives one passion or motivation. Without either of these no accomplishment would be made.

  33. To me this is saying that if you go through life the easy way you wil never learn to appreciate wat you have. Sometimes people always take the lazy way instead of the hard way because people are just lazy.

  34. What this is saying is that you can't improve unless you don't put your best into doing it. I struggle everyday because I know I have a goal to accomplish you have to be determined to get to where you have to get instead of being impassive about things.

  35. THIS QUOTE MEANS THAT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE YOURSELF(OR WHATEVER MAY NEED IMPROVEMENT), YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR TO IMPROVE.YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES AND YOU FIX YOUR FLAWS.MANY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF FAILURE, BUT WITH FAILURE COMES MUCH SUCCESS. YOU LEARN MORE FROM FAILING THAN SUCCEEDING BECAUSE YOU WORK EVEN HARDER TO MAKE SURE YOU SUCCEED THE NEXT TIME.

  36. My interpretation of this quote is that, in life, when you come upon an obstacle and is able to overcome it, you will build confidence in your ability to overcome anything. Struggles determine if a certain individual is mentally and physically ready for it.

  37. This quote means to me that if you don't put blood, sweat, and tears into something you want, you don't want it badly! People who wants the best of success works hard and go through a lot to succeed. No one succeeds easily! They put a lot of effort and work.

  38. In life you will face many hard times. You can not strengthen yourslef without some type of struggle. Your struggles help you put your life in perspective so you may sort out the good and bad. Success never comes easy so the more success you have the more struggles you have had to get where you are.

Its better to know your where you want to be in your life by really working for it and not by someone just handing it to you.

  40. What this means to me that everything in life is not going to be easy for you.There are certain things in life your going to have to accomplish and it will be challenging whether you like it or not. Sometimes the best things come out of hardship and how much work you put in it.

  41. If everything is handed to you in life on a silver platter it means you will never progress on your own. Nothing comes easy in life therefore you might have to fight to get what you like working your butt off to graduate.
