Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 13: No Pain, No gaGain

Greetings to the amazing people in the house. It is yet another privilege and an opportunity to relate with you all on this beautiful day. As is share my idea with you on the topic under review, remain blessed.

Do your definition of terms i.e Pain and gain.

Pain: I see pain as an unpleasant condition or situation in which a person finds his or herself. Many things bring pain into the life of humans. For example, death, loss of a job, misunderstanding with someone, hardship, and even struggle to achieve a goal can bring pain.

Gain: I define gain as a reward that a person got from his or her struggles. It could be a profit gotten from the business. The steem we get after writing articles can also be referred to as gain. Gain can also be material and it also can be immaterial. For instance, the knowledge we acquire in school or another aspect of life can also be considered a gain

What do you understand by the statement.

The statement " NO PAIN, NO GAIN" simply means, you can not gain or achieve anything without passing hardship, challenges, tribulations, temptations, etc. I see this state as very similar to the statement that says " NO FOOD FOR LAZY MAN.

The truth is, for one to achieve anything, he or she must work for it. Remember, manners don't longer fall from heaven. As such, to achieve a goal, you must stand strong and push hard to achieve it. Take for instance, if you don't write and post anything, you can not achieve anything on steemit. Also, as a student, if you don't suffer yourself to read, you can not pass exams.

Do you subscribe to this school of thought? Back up your Yes/No answer with valid points

I subscribe to the statement 100%. As mentioned in the lines above, manners don't fall from heaven. If you want to achieve anything, then you must have a strategy and be ready to suffer to achieve it. I believe we all must have heard that nothing good comes easy.

The statement nothing good comes easy is trying to tell us that if you as a human Want to achieve anything (profit], then you have to suffer for it. If you have ever farmed, you will understand that it is not easy to farm, but when the produce is brought home, there is always joy. Indeed, if you don't suffer today, you will cry tomorrow.

Share an experience for or against the statement.

This reminds me of my University days. I still believe that reading is one of the hardest things to do if you are not used to it. When I was in school, I always feel reluctant to read, but mind you, I hate what is called failure. I was afraid to fail any course, yet I don't see reading as an easy task.

But the fear of failure had to push me to read. I couldn't find it easy, but yet I sleep in class reading my book not because I love reading, but because I was afraid to fail. To God be the glory, my struggles never went in vain. I can still remember my mum telling me that I fall sick while in school, and I refuse to tell her. But the truth is I was never sick. I only lost weight because of too much reading. It was indeed never easy.

Conclusion

Life is not a bed of roses. It is full of struggles and challenges. In life, to achieve anything, you have to work for it. Whoever fails to work, has decided to die poor and irresponsible. As such, never give up on trying because he who seeks, shall find.

I now call on @yakspeace, @ruthjoe, @josepha, and @dave-hanny to participate.
