I think that this is a very true quote.It basically says that thing are not always going to be easy but it will pay of and you will feel good when you have completed it! Like a challenge, when your having a hard time figuring something out and you get the answer it feels really good even though it was tough.

Math will be a big challenge. But, if math were to easy, I wouldn't be learning anything. It would be worth working hard at math to become a structural engineer when I grow up.

I think that it will be hard to stay connected with all of our wonderful classmates but we need to work as a team to make us not only the best classroom but the best FAMILY.

This quote can mean all different kind of things like terry fox as an example he ran 1/3 of Canada on one leg, and don't you think is hard. Well i thinks so and he raised money for cancer so it was tough for him and it payed off. Another example is me working hard in class and then i get A's and that payed off.

This is is a very powerful quote, it means in my mind: no matter how much you struggle it is always worth it in the end.
In our daily life, in or out of the classroom this is good to keep in mind because you will know what you are doing now maybe hard work, it will pay off in the end, even if you have tried once or twice but you couldn't get the hang of it, all that means is you need to keep practicing at it, not that you will never be able to do it and you are a failure at whatever you are doing.
I can connect with the quote because when I started division for the first time it was really hard and I didn't get it, then after a while of practice and trying to get better all of it payed off, now I'm pretty good at it.
So the meaning of this quote is; It may seem hard and frustrating now in the end it will all pay off.

My interpretation of this poster is that no matter how big a challenge is you need to over come it because things will get better.School may not because of the E.Q.A.O. You should still push through it because you will feel good after it is completed. In other words 'The greater the risk the greater the reward'.

This quote can mean many things. For example, if you run a race or you want to make a team of any sport, you're going to need to train a lot! But once your done your race, or the sport team that you made, it was all worth the work! Same with school as well, if you want straight A's or all E's in your learning skills you got to be at your best ability and work hard for that, and once you has worked really hard and get straight A's or all E's on your report card, it was worth all the hard work.

I will just answer the questions instead of lying, i'm not one to lie (mostly because I'm terrible at it). But I will answer the questions in the most truthful way possible.


(Read the questions then the answers in order)


Thing that might not be easy for me this year will be, focus on things more often (my mind tends to wander a lot.)

"Why is it better if it isn't always easy?" It make the reward more rewarding, if it was just an easy thing to get then you wouldn't get all excited; you'd just be like 'oh well, that was easy'. Instead of 'I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE'.


This quote gives confidence and emotional strength to keep going if it is hard.


I have not, unless you count beating a hard level of a video game then maybe.


It depend on what your goal is, if it is exercising then you get a healthy body, if it is being an astronaut then you get the reward of being an astronaut. I guess If you try hard enough then your reward/goal will become more satisfying in the end.

When I tried out for water polo for the first time. It hard was I get hit a lot of times but I did no matter what after that I been tired it wan't easy at first time then I got a call from one of the coaches saying he wants me team under 14.

So it wan't easy but it is worth it.

This can effect I my daily life by motivating me into doing things that I don't exactly want to do Example- My mom asks me if I wanted to do a workout camp, I don't want to, but i'll do it and give it my best

this means that if you are stuck somewhere take the time to practice or think about it, and in the end it will repay you some how in life

Sometimes when I open a box of Legos I see so many pieces and I think "this is going to be really hard to build". But I work hard at it and I follow the instructions and then I am proud when I build it.Sometimes in life you have to work hard to build something nice.

This quote can effect my daily life by motivating me to try my best and with practice I can accomplish anything.

Something that might be hard for me is winning the hockey championships with my new team

I think it is better when things are not easy because if it is easy your not going to learn a lot but if it is hard then you will learn a lot more.

As an example of skills that this quote promotes is my hockey I started at the very bottom but then I started extra training and I didn't like training because it was very hard but it sure was worth it because now I have reached my goal to play with a good rep team.

Some things that relate to this quote in my life are math I used to get all B's in my math but then I wanted to work harder so I started to focus on it and now I get almost all A's.

I think this is very true its cool how they teach him/she how to fly

I feel that this quote leaves a strong message behind because most people tend to want to avoid going the hard way. If you accomplish something that seems impossible, it will leave a positive message to yourself and everyone around you. For example, Terry Fox. He could have just not done the Marathon of Hope because it wasn't easy for him, but he took the hard way and it was worth it. He raised money and gave awareness to the cancer society. He showed the world about what some people were going through. Overall this quote shows us that no matter how big or small the task, everyone can achieve it and benefit from it.

I think that this poster means that if you think somthing is hard and you say that you can't do it ask someone to help and never say you can't do something without trying. NEVER say you can't do something.

The first time I tried flying i was doing well but then I couldn't I flipped and smashed into the yellowish sand it was hot i had to get up and try again. when I tried again a man caught me and gust held on to me I flapped my wings and he let go. I WAS FLYING. I saw the blue beautiful ocean just under me, it was that moment when I saw the most beautiful thing ever i saw the sun set with pail white clouds around it a cool way I felt so free!
