Is it necessary for us to study hard?
   Is it necessary for us to study hard? In my opion it it necessary for us to study hard.
"The book mountain has a road frequent be a footpath , mimic the sea there being no a margin doing a boat bitterly". The Chinese nation continuous self-renewal spirit, shows especially outstandingly in the respect of reading a book industriously. Disregarding being a strategist be expert in the statesman, be still One's bosom hides a strategy administering a country; They get different echo on cause , are with them disregarding being agile thinker of thought , wisdom is more preeminent comparing with others scientist, from childhood ambitious ambition cannot part.Li Bai, does not like to read a book important poet of the Tang Dynasty when one was young. Take advantage of that the teacher is not in a house one day, slide out of the door quietly going to make fun of a son.


  Clever Li Bai is listen to the day afer tomorrow , think of self , at heart ashamed, turn around and run have returned to a bookshop. Herefrom, he remember firmly that "as long as very skillful, An iron pestle can be ground down to a needle " principle, exert self to read a book.
For my ower part ,I study hard and make progress everyday.

Some people do earn a lot of money without receiving much education, but I should say good performance in academic studies may often bring wealth and help one become a successful person in life.

Look at the elite class in the world today. Political leaders graduate from top universities and have doctor’s degrees. The business giants are so absorbed in their field that they learn and practice day and night at school. Some are so eager to save time that they leave school before graduation and start their own businesses. Not to mention those who are in the field of education, science and technology. They devote almost everyday to the library and the laboratory all year round, learning, studying and hoping to explore the unknown and create new things for the world. Most of them were good student at school.

Doing well in study does not have to be done only at school. Bill Gates who dropped out of Harvard enjoys reading very much and has a personal library at home with hundreds of thousands of books. Popular singers and famous performers are also hard worker of learning. Millions of money are paid for their diligence in the studios and a great deal of hard work before recording or acting. Some after becoming well-known go back to school to take advanced courses and training.

It is natural that some people make more money than their former classmates who got higher grades. People have different talents. A few are good at grasping gold while others are at their best doing research.

Is Family Influence Critical?
Family influence is of great importance in one's life.We cannot choose our family but taking advantage of it the right way give us great strength.
It is lucky to be born in a "good family", but one can not rely on his family all his life. As we all know, many people from high ranking officials or rich families turned out to be failures, whereas many great men came from poor families. Such examples are numerous. Ancestry is most important to those who can accomplish nothing themselves. It is one'talents, personality and dedication that really count.
I firmly believe in the honest sweat of my own history. I came from a poor peasant's family in a small mountainous village. When I struggled at the starting line of my long journey of life, others were already for ahead. However, I hold dear the many good virtues my parents taught me such as courage, honesty an independence, which turned out to be more valuable than money. Though I could hardly pay my tuition, I worked harder than most students and became the first college student in my hometown. If I keep on earning my bread with my sweat, I will surely have a bright future.

Study hard, get good grades and you will have a bright future!

Your school helped you to achieve your goal. It equipped you with the necessary set of skills to thrive in your trade. But does your school train you how to manage your finances once your money starts rolling in. Does your school tell you that you will stop earning that kind of money once you stop working? Do your teachers give lectures on the importance of earning residual income and managing personal debts? Does your school teach you how to achieve financial freedom?
Your high salary profession enables you to live in big houses, drive fast cars, own countless country club memberships, go on yearly travels, buy the stuff you longed for But wait! Have the thought of you losing your job ever creeps into your mind?

The economic bubble burst. Businesses plummet. Your employment company cash flow statement goes into the red. The directors of the company want to cut cost. They decide to layoff employees who take home fat paychecks. You are one of them. Your world collapses when you were retrenched.

As important as it is to earn lots of money, managing your finances is paramount to you being able to achieve financial freedom. Once you obtain financial freedom, you would be able to escape the rat race, have more free time to do what you really love, go on vacation as long as you wish and live the lifestyle you wish!

Before giving a definite yes or no to this question, we should pause for a while to reflect and ask ourselves a question-"what do we study hard for"

Some people, esp. a majority of parents and high school teachers in China, hold that if one study hard enough, he/she can get into a top university and then find a good job with high perks after graduation. Thus we can see millions of high school students in both towns and cities bury themselves up in studies, grinding for the final test. Much criticized by some liberal educators, the exam-oriented learning can nevertheless help the students lay a solid foundation for further study.

Other than the utilitarian purpose, i.e. studying hard to earn a better living, mentioned above, there are people studying for their own interest. Of a curious nature, they are after the vast unknown, unveiling the mysteries and seeking the truth. Studying hard for them is not laborious work, but quite an enjoyable experience, or even a way of existence. From their perspective, reading not only makes a full man and but also a worth-living life.

Only we get the compass out and find what we really need are can we be convinced whether or not to study hard.

Why Good Manners ?
  In the Information Age, we tend to pay less attention to our manners than did our forefathers. However, manners can be important whether you are climbing your career ladder or just trying to get along in life.
  There are good reasons behind good manners. Manners are society's way of oiling the social machinery. If you don't lubricate relationships, tempers rise and people fight unnecessary battles
  People with good manners always do better in most situations than those without .You can get through life with ban manners but it is easier with good manners. How can people like a rude, unkempt man , who always disregards the feeling of others? Most negotiations, for example, are impossible without good manners, which explains why diplomats are famed for their courtesy.The best lawyers, too, are usually courteous.
  Despite mankind's reputation for violence, most people prefer to avoid confrontation, and avoiding conrfrontation is what manners are about. Manners represent the triumph of e civilization over barbarism. Manners are not a demonstration of weakness, but a sign of common sense and self control.
In the end, there is no gain in being cruel to people, whether it is in the small failures of civility in daily life or in the larger ones. Manners are mankind's way of saying "let's not fight unless we have to " and there may be no higher wisdom than that , in diplomacy, in business and in the transactions of everyday life.

Is it necessary for us to study hard?

     To answer the question above we first have to know what the word 'study' here means. There are many factors which

might determine a person's success, for instance, a good habit of living, a proper lifestyle, a deep understanding and

profound knowledge of his/her specailized profession and a wonderful interpersonal skills. If the word 'study' you mention

here is just mainly about learning the books at school, it might not seem enough for you to get to your destination for

success. However, if you were trying to say that it is neccessary for us to not only learn the textbooks at school diligently but

also study the knowledge, the senses and the principles at society earnestly, I would totally agree with you.

     In my opinion the good marks in the examination at school would have a decreasing value as you grow up. For a kid it

is necessary for him/her to study hard at school because he/she has to learn to how to think. For an adolescent he/she still

has to study hard and I wish someone could tell him/her that there are many even more important things in life than a good

grade at school. For an adult it might become the best for him/her to study in a pleasant way, i.e. in a way that could make

him/her feel happy and joyful.

    It is not easy for most of the people to make a living and it is even harder for all of us to make a life. And so please

study, in your own way.

Is it necessary for us to study hard? It depends.
Defferent people have different goal in the wole life. studying hard is only the process of achieving the goal, not the goal itself. therefor, the goal of living is the key in this issure. i believe that the goal of living is pursuing happiness. whether it is necessary for us to study hard depends on our definition of happiness.
studying hard can bring us wealth and fame to some extent, but it is not necessarily happiness. especially for women. as man, you cann't understand the meaning of happniess for woman.

Is it necessary for us to study hard?

Firstly, I have to point out a possible and logic fault in the issue. It is one thing whether we should study hard because it is about our willing. However, it is another thing to discuss whether close relation between your knowledge and your earning and development is another thing. The latter unnecessarily affect the former. Based the latter, the issue we need to discuss is whether there is close relation of them. Based the former, the issue should be whether it is nessary for us to study hard. If we base the latter to discuss the former, it is obvious that we think the latter is right. However, is it really right? I don't think so. As far as I have discussed above, I have to argu about the two issues seperately.

On the one hand, we shouldn't consider social factors and should study harder and harder. Firstly, it is good for yourself to study hard and gain more and more knowledge. Especially if you want to achieve mostly in your interested fields, you have to study hard. Secondly, only studying hard could we develop ourselves well as a human.

On the other hand, we have to admit the negative factors and points, while we also see positve points are more and stronger than negative ones. Even if some ones depends on good luck and authority to gain achievement or dignitary, we know manistream of our society is positive. In addition, the society gradually develops to be a knowledge-leading sociey so that knowledge and ability is very important for our development.

In all, it is very necessary for us to study hard. Only in this way could we go well in a long journey.

Hope to communicate with everyone.

It's me to say that, between the book studies hard and earns how much with the

money, personal development is simply out of reach, even more what is the natural

view on the links.

Firstly:Studies hard, certainly ,not can explain the ability of a people that is strong. Has very many

such examples. In the university student which takes the present said. Have grandiose aims but

puny abilities, although the book is read some, but it falls short of practical ability. Pains or tired a

little in some sortis not willing to do.

Secondly:Studies hard, it does not mean that a person's quality and culture is good enough.In

2004 took place in university's The Ma Jiajue event,I think everybody of us remain fresh in one's

memory to it.This is a sharp-cut example.This is a word what said in prison:Without ideals, is the

greatest failure in my life.

Sum up:studies hard is not necessary for us.But a healthy person should have a

good outlook on life and values.

Is it necessary to study hard? I can give you a definite answer, that is, of course. Just as an old Chinese saying gives it: to live is to learn. We cannot survive in this world without ongoing learning. It is a life-long learning process. The point is book knowledge must be combined with practical knowledge. For example, you have gained much of computer knowledge and theory. It is not enough and you will have to apply them to the real situation, doing something with them. That’s the end of the whole purpose if you are not studying for study’s sake.
The second issue concerned is what to study. You can not study MBA this day and tomorrow turn to engineering. Remember to stay focused and do not go astray at mid-way and your persistent effort will finally bear fruit some day. In fact it is very difficult to figure out you really want from studies. The answer cannot come out naturally until you fix your direction, your goal etc. Another Chinese saying can tell us something: you can be talented in any of specific professions.
Another puzzling question is what we study for, for pleasure, for a career or for money. If you study for pleasure, for instance, learn to play games. Just enjoy it and have fun. If you study for a career, Rome is not built in a day and it requires a person’s lasting commitment. If you study for money, it is still ok to have a goal than nothing. Remember money is not easily gained.

Is it necessary for us to study hard?
At the beginning, I don not show my attitude. Let us analyze the situation at present. More and more young people want to enter the higher school to get further education in China, even some people on-the-job. Why does this happen? I think they must realize that what they are studying will not beenough for their future job. No one wants to work at a low salary. A lot of peasants can not bear the low income in countryside and go out to be builders. Their jobs are tiring and their working environment is poor. Why don not they try to find jobs of low workload? I think most of them even all of them are in low education. I do not mean to discriminate these builders because I am son of a peasant. So, higher education means a job of higher salary.
If you are successful to get into a higher school, why not you study hard? If you do not study hard, you will fail a lot of exams, then you will not get your certificates of graduate and degree. This is the basis demand of entering higher school. Of course, there are other demands. We enter higher school in order to master knowledge as much as possible for future work. Just imagine that you can not afford a job in the future even if you have the certificates. What a joke? So, we must study hard so that we are able to deal with situations we may meet.
All in all, studying hard is necessary and important for us. Or else, we may have no success.

In my opinion,it is necessary to study hard. None but we study hard ,we can be master in our specialty and we will success。
some people find that some persons can make more money, but they have little study experience or do not well in school。In this way,they think it is not necessary to study hard。In fact it is not the same thing。Study at school is only a part of lifetime studying. Even though some one have a bad achievement at school,he may study hard during his work and he also can succeed,therefore, we can not say that he does not study hard。It is only different for time of working hard.
Maybe you feel that some people with high educational level get incomes more less than those do with low educational level and studying hard is useless.We can’t estimate his achievement according to his incomes because incomes are consumedly different among different industries and among different areas。
If people could succeed without studying hard,adult education and MBA education are not necessary。However,in reality,there are many persons accept adult education and MBA education。From this point ,it is necessary to study hard.
In a word ,it is necessary for us to study hard for success。

Is it nessary to study hard in my opinion.
At first,learning is very important for human .It is also one of the charactors which is diferent from animals.
through studying, we can be cuter,wiser and more brightness.

Secondly, I think many of us know  that it is a learning society.In the contemporary era,It is a learning life in one's own life time. if you do not study hard,then you will know little,and will lose a lot especially the chance of success.

Thirdly,Iwant to emphasize that the word "study" here is not a narrow sense.it is a wide concept. It not only means sudy at school ,college and university,but also means learning in our ordinary work,conversation,communication , reading newspapers and magazines and so on.That wildly means the process of your knowledge is richer .simply means the process of knowing more.So the way of study is not limited.
sudy hard in a proper way,then you will learn more and learn more efficiently.the more you learn, the more you get,the more ideas come up when you come across difficulties,then easier to deal with them.

There is a good saying which is well known to all.It is never too old to learn.So let us study hard.then we will be more brightness and have more knowledge.then we can overcome difficulty much more easily.Study harder,more chances of success comes up and you wil catch more.Don't hestitate now.come on!

Knowledge is power

In my opinion, we should study hard . Maybe almost every one of us knows this sentence: knowledge is power , however, does there anyone actually know its true meaning? I also think of this question for some time, since I have studied (frankly speaking, I always study hard) for 20ys. Even I now doubt that knowledge is powerful and helpful in my daily life. In this sense, it’s not necessary for us to study hard.
What is more, why don't we put the money and precious time in something that is really useful. Well, the above opinion seems to be reasonable at the first glance, but when we think about that is there such a thing which can put to use without putting in as little as studying does.
Then I find that studying hard is the easiest way to achieve this. And “knowledge is power” is still right. But what is wrong is that we usually think too high and restrict the term “knowledge” to book knowledge only. So it is obvious that those who think knowledge is not powerful at all and it is absolutely no necessary to study hard is shortsighted. If they think this again as I used to do ,they will agree with me that studying hard is necessary at any time.

Is it necessary for us to study hard?

  The master of the basic knowledge is necessary to most of people living in word. When we are
young, we are sent to school for learning language, math, science and society. By receiving
education at school, we know how to write, how to express our thought, how to explain something miraculous on the earth as well as how to get along well with people around us. Indeed school
education is essential to our further development in the future. In order to prepare for our future, we should study hard so as to acquire more all kinds of useful knowledge when we are studying at
school.
   However, knowledge is only a tool for our success. Virtue, creativity, confidence, practice, and the ability to seize opportunity also play important roles in success. Besides the knowledge learning
from books, the knowledge with respect to music, art and feeling and so on, which are not lectured by teachers in class, are also very important to us. Based on this consideration, we can not be
successful upon only hard study in the classroom. The class outside school will teach us how to win in the competitive word.
  Our dreams start from school, but realize outside school.

The thinking of "studying is inutility"

Many people do think that only studying hard can change his or her life ,especially in countryside in china.But with the serious situation of obtaining employment and impacted by the thought of "study is unuseful, and the most important thing is that you can earn money",many people doubt the view that study hard is important.

So, is it true that studying hard is very important? I think the answer is YES. The value of studying cann't be valued by money in many aspects,such as enriching your knowledge and enhancing your culture and happiness.The one who is educated much more will have a better future in a long view.Of all ages, how many successful people are there who didn't study hard?

The reality of society make us a clear understand that wo cann't say that study is useful or unuseful totally.It is depended on what time and what kind of book we read.We cann't only study at school and read books by just reading them.The society and practice is the biggest book that we must read, and we must read it all our lives.

I do believe that every one will benefit from studying.

Is it necessary to study hard?
     People trigger a hot debate over whether school students should study hard or develop all-around by delaminating the dominating position of study at school. No one would argue that the
first duty of students is to study. The point which I would like to argue about here is that in
different stages of school life students may enjoy different types of study, instead of making
study a burden along with students' school time.
While we attach importance to the early success deriving from students’ hard struggle, parents take it for granted that their children can not accept anything which have little to do with study.
What is ignored is that the early success may lead children to a terrible future, especially after
they step into society, where their academic performance counts so little.
    So comes my conclusion. Students in such early stages of education as elementary school and middle school should learn how to enjoy their happy moments. It is reasonable for college
students to throw themselves into study, for they are faced with such an educational system
which can not be altered.
  Under this simple topic, we have something deeper down there to discuss.
  No education system can deny students’ instinctive desire to enjoy and explore in the world
of knowledge. Can we compel them to study hard while much pressure makes such an
enjoyable journey a bothersome thing? This deserves our attention.
