"And?" the teacher smiled.
"It also means solid, like a rock," added Sarah.

The Hard Truth About Success
Success is hard to achieve, but that's what makes it valuable. Many people think success comes easily, but the hard truth is different. Every successful person has worked hard for years.
Take Maria, for example. She found math hard in school. Her teacher gave her hard problems every day. At first, she cried hard because the work seemed impossible. But Maria didn't give up. She studied hard every evening.
The road was hard, but Maria kept going. She practiced hard math problems until they became easy. When the rain fell hard outside, she stayed inside studying. When her friends played hard outside, she worked hard inside.
Years later, Maria became a math teacher. She learned that hard work always pays off. Now she tells her students, "Don't be afraid of hard work. It's the only way to turn hard dreams into easy reality."
The lesson is clear: nothing worthwhile comes without hard effort. Success may be hard to reach, but it's always worth the hard journey.
