About the meaning of effort

There is a “theory that effort is not rewarded,” but hard work is always rewarded. Rather, no matter how small an act is not enough to say effort, it will always be rewarded.

It's called “causal retaliation,” and this means that depending on the cause, you receive a reward called an effect. There is always a cause for an outcome. If a cause is caused, there will always be some kind of result. There is some kind of change or effect, as ripples spread when a stone is thrown on the surface of the water.

In other words, the “theory that effort is not rewarded” is not accurate, and “effort is always rewarded, but “it is not rewarded” as expected (sometimes)” is probably more relevant. The problem is not “effort,” but “thought.”
There is probably a problem with “thoughts” that are so arrogant that they dismiss it as “waste” unless it is the “desired” reward (result) for oneself.

Now, as for the “meaning of effort,” which is the idea of the question, particularly “the meaning of effort that failed when failure is not allowed,” there is no “(real) meaning” in everything, whether it is effort or what, if you think about it from a Buddhist perspective.

For example, there is no such thing as an immutable and fixed “meaning” given to things, such as “your life is to become a doctor and save sick people” or “this banana is to please a hungry child.”

Because the meaning is “none,” there are “infinite possibilities.” It's “freedom.”

It changes depending on the person you meet, the person you receive, the passage of time, your feelings at that time, the flow of the times, and all kinds of “relationships (conditions).” This does not mean that the “meaning given to things” changes depending on relationships.
It means that the “circumstances” of people who think about that “meaning” will change depending on the relationship at that time. There is no substance in the meaning, so to put it worse, it's probably the principle of expediency; to put it better, it depends on how the person receives it.

“That effort that failed” also has meaning if that person later accepts that I have grown up because of that time, and if you truncate and accept “that because I failed,” etc., it has no meaning. (Even at that time, I personally feel that there is meaning in terms of “being blamed for that,” but the person himself may not be interesting.)

In summary, hard work is rewarded, and it is human thought that it is not rewarded. There is no real meaning to it, but the meaning is limitless depending on how it is received.

Why don't you reconsider how to capture meaning before thinking about effort?

Humans have a tendency to come across things that are different from their own thoughts, and to think about whether there is meaning or not when things don't go the way they want and they fail.

This question may have been asked by Hasunoha due to a lot of trouble, but why don't you take a break from your head?

Put your hands on your chest, not your head.
A heart when you succeed, a heart when you fail.
Are there any changes in pulse that are related to life or death?

Does success or failure mean anything to the heart?
Isn't it difficult when your heart stops or moves due to success or failure?

It's not just the thoughts in your head that make up you.
Regardless of success or effort, they sincerely and single-mindedly pursue the role they have been given.
That kind of body is also an aspect of u.n.owen.

Everyone has anxiety, but rather than worrying and losing time, what kind of students do they hope to come through the school's privacy policy and exams that they aim for?
I would appreciate it if you could develop your reasoning skills.

40 or 50 years from now, “I had a lot of trouble when I was young, but my experiences at that time came in handy later.”
I hope you can live a life that feels like that.

Once upon a time, there were two men in China, Xiang Yu (Kou) and Liu Bang (Liu Bang).

Xiang Yu was strong, and he was also an extraordinary strategist, so he hasn't lost a battle since he was young. As for that record, it is said that it was 99 games and 99 consecutive wins.

On the other hand, Liu Bang had no sense of martial arts, and he wasn't smart, so if he fought, he always lost. That battle record was 99 rounds and 99 consecutive losses, and in bad times, they lost against Xiang Yu with an overwhelming advantage of 560,000 to 30,000 people, and 100,000 people were killed in action on their side, and even their own father and wife were taken prisoner, so they were irretrievably incompetent and incompetent.

However, Liu Bang often acknowledged that he had no talent, and when he was scolded by his subordinates, he often heard and reflected on it no matter how miserable it was. Meanwhile, the more Xiang Yu wins, the more arrogant she is about her talents, and she doesn't listen to the advice of her subordinates. Then they became too strict with the losers, and eventually the public mind disliked Xiang Yu's world and began to hope for Liu Bang's world.

Then, in the last battle, Xiang Yu was outsmarted by incompetent Liu Bang and excellent warlords, and committed suicide. I was 31 years old.

Effort is not the result of success or failure. If you succeed, be successful, and if you fail, look back often and find lessons learned is an effort. Since they don't do that and think “it was a waste of time,” they end up throwing their time up until now on their own, and decorating successful delicacies between the floors until they expire and let them rot.

It's up to you whether to make use of it or kill it, make it an EXP booster buff, or EXP reduction debuff. Success or failure by itself means nothing. Everything is empty.

Even Liu Bang, who was the victim, became the first emperor of the Han dynasty. No matter how much you regret it, it's a loss if you block it. I'm not saying to be positive, but let's eat them one by one without liking or disliking them.

I read it.

You are now a college student.
In other words, you made an effort and succeeded in studying for the entrance exam.

You're a successful person.
But why can't we rejoice at success?
Even though they went out of their way to win.

Maybe that's because we've run into the next challenge.
Also, you have to succeed.
The wall is getting taller and taller.

When does success become real success?

I don't really understand the meaning of not being allowed to fail...
Isn't that a case of making an effort and an irrevocable act?

I'm sorry.
It's not something you can do over with credits or exams.

I saw the bullet train accident on the news this morning, etc.
Even if I apologize anymore, that's not enough.

I've been a karate athlete for a long time.
Work hard and win a few (success?) I also had the experience, but at the end I lost to a player about the age of my own child, and I felt that my physical strength was limited... and I retired.
From your point of view, it's a failure.

Until recently, I still self-accepted that it was proof of my hard work.

Recently, however, I wonder if it had any meaning.
This is because now I'm walking a different path called the Buddha's path, so I'm full of that effort.

The past is already in the past.
My hands are full now.

Before you think about the meaning of effort, etc., think about what you should do now.
Isn't it fine with or without results?

You have successfully taken the exam.
What meaning does that have?

There are people who have failed in your place.
If you didn't pass, that person passed.
