Like winning a frisbee tournament?
Will,
That's not what I had in mind, but I suppose it would qualify.
...and the accomplishment does not usually come without great risk.
Justin,
Yeah, that's a good addition.
For all its simplicity, I feel like this is something too frequently forgotten.
Alex,
Yeah, I think it's something we forget all the time. Especially if you come from the privileged background that most of us do (white, middle-class, strong family, educated), so many things are practically handed to us.
Though it shouldn't be, sometimes the realization that hard work is necessary is a somewhat shocking one.
