The origin goes back to the Latin verb ‘Oboedire’ which means to serve.
The above poem refers to a basketball player who, during the game, is reflecting on whether or not to steal a base. The tension of the game and the reflection makes the player tense, anxious and apprehensive. These sensations, as well as the scenario in which the poem is established, are made with the use of figurative language that is established with the use of similes, where the poet compares the player's situation with other elements. The use of figurative language through similes can be seen in the lines:
"Both ways taut like a tightrope-walker,
"
"Now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball
"
"Taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird,
"
Figurative language aims to use words that have one meaning, to express another meaning. This expression is made subjectively and not literally. In the lines above, figurative language is used to show how tense, agile and attentive the player was.
Answer:
<em>Personally, yes, I believe it is laudable to value both persistence and hard work. I say I value persistence because, for example, say you and a few friends are playing a game of football, and later went to a actual football game they really had to play in. Maybe one of the boys that had earlier been playing around had been very competitive, but, possibly because it was not a real game, it did not really matter. But lets say now that he´s in the game, and the other team scored one point, he huffs and puffs, and gets upset, saying he´s not playing the rest of the game, just because he had not gotten the first point. The other team members, on the other hand, were still determined, persisting through the game. </em>
<em>I think it is laudable to value hard work, because life is never going to be peaches and plums. Maybe you are a teen, and you have to help your uncle and auntie with moving in to a new house. The boxes and packed up belongings are not going to be brand new, dust free, no bugs attached boxes. To some people, touching something dusty with a new white shirt on, is hard work. Personally, having to get anywhere near bugs at all, whether it is a moth, a rolly polly- it does not matter to me whether it is a harmless bug or not. A hornet, or a Wasp- any insect, I absolutely despise. I do not consider it hard work, but, getting near any bugs- is hard to do, majority of times.</em>

Dahil ang ibig sabihin ng mahirap magpakatao ay ang pagkilos ng naaayon sa tamang paguugali at kabutihang asal. Mahirap sumunod sa mga kabutihang asal subalit madaling maging tao. Kinakailangang matuto muna ang isang tao ng edukasyon sa wastong paguugali upang masabing hindi lamang siya isang tao kung hindi isang tao na marunong magpakatao.
