does hard work "build character?"

[datasuspect]

have you ever worked really hard for something that resulted in nothing?

worked hard for something that got your boss recognized?

worked hard for something because the wealthy elites in this country add as many stumbling blocks as possible to close as many doors as possible for the working and disappearing middle classes?

1. No, it doesn't.

run around and crow about your accomplishments. You'll be hated but go farther in life. Just my .02 based on personal impression.

2. Not of itself,

But hard work+failure+screwups+delayed gratification= good character

3. In my case, it has built character....

A smart ass one.

I HATE when my boss takes credit for something I did. :evilfrown:

4. sometimes...

just depends on the situation...and in the three you put forth...I think the first one builds character, and the other two, people are taking advantage of you.

5. Hard work builds houses. Some of the builders are characters.
