And one student’s definition of difficult is another student’s easy course. Knowing their own strengths and learning style is helpful. But with all of this in mind, here are eight reasons why a few difficult courses can benefit your student.
If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
Your student will know that they were able to put all of their effort into something, pull their resources together, and prove something . Attempting a difficult course, taking on a challenge, should be something that your student because they want to, not for anyone else.
“Of course it’s hard. It’s supposed to be hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. Hard is what makes it great.” ~ Jimmy Dugan, A League of Their Own - TravelTrim Corporate Wellness “Of course it’s hard. It’s supposed to be hard.

Jimmy: “It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.”
Tom Hanks' character, Jimmy Dugan, is loosely based on real-life baseball sluggers Jimmie Foxx and Hack Wilson.

But she added that she would never drop a ball on purpose — not for anyone — as Dottie does in the movie's big-game climatic scene. It would have been a betrayal of her teammates.
Jimmy DuganThis line is spoken by Jimmy Dugan, played by Tom Hanks, in the film A League of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall (1992). In A League of Their Own, the best baseball movie ever (take that, Field of Dreams), Tom Hanks is brash, loud, and can pee for about seven minutes straight.
Geena Davis' character, Dottie Hinson, was inspired by real-life player Dorothy “Kammie” Kamenshek. A left-handed first baseman and outfielder, Kammie was the most feared hitter in the league, and a perennial all-star. Her movie counterpart, Dottie, is a right-handed catcher.
Instead, director Penny Marshall cast 65-year-old Lynn Cartwright to play the character Dottie Hinson (portrayed during most of the film by Geena Davis) as a woman in her 60s, looking back on her years in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. Davis' voice was dubbed in over Cartwright's.

Another reason why it is so hard to think is that we have forgotten how to do it. This again relates to all the ideas that are thrown at us every day. Everywhere we look, another person is telling us what and how to think about everything that is going on around us. But if we could go back to when we were kids, before we knew so much, maybe we could think for ourselves again.
“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge” is often attributed to Carl Jung, but he never said that exactly. He did, however, say this, “Thinking is difficult. Therefore, let the herd pronounce judgement.” In either case, the point remains the same, thinking is difficult so people would rather jump to conclusions than think something out.
It is worth it means that you paid an acceptable price to obtain something. This is usually in the form of monetary value, but it could also mean your time, energy, and effort to do something.
This means that the effort, skill, or money you would have to put in to obtain something is not equal to the outcome.
Worthy means that something is acceptable and good enough to earn the honor of something.
