What is Hardworking??

Hard working means someone who tends to work diligently and for long hours. They try their best to work harder in everything they do, so they can rise to the very top. For example, NBA player Chris Paul worked extremely hard to get to where he's right now. When Chris Paul was little he had a dream to play basketball, but many people doubted him because he was too small for the game. Even his own family members criticized him, and said that's impossible for someone his small. They said he was so small that whenever he goes up for a shot, he'll get rejected. Also they said Chris Paul would get injured so many times, that he can't even play at all. They basically crushed his dream, and said he can't make it anywhere in the NBA. The thing is Chris Paul didn't care what people said about his size, he just kept pushing himself to work harder. He will spend hours in training thinking of what he did wrong or right. From that he got to 6 feet, and got accepted to Wake Forest because of his tremendous basketball skills. He became the best player on his college team, and eventually got accepted to the NBA for New Orleans Hornets. He led the game in assists, steals, and became the best point guard in the NBA. Right now he's currently playing for the Los Angeles Clippers, but that didn't change anything. He had teammates that pushed him and encouraged him though the bad and good. From that he kept playing the way he played, and put in big numbers for almost every game. Right now his main goal is to win a NBA championship. In conclusion, for people who think they are too small or useless to do amazing things, you're wrong. Look at Chris Paul, he was mocked by people in his hometown for having a dream, but he didn't give up. Sure he was only 5 feet when he was in high-school, but he worked hard by spending hours in the practice room, making him better on and even off the court. Chris Paul succeeded and look at him now haters. He's one of the best point guards in the league with an amazing talent and personality.
