Answer:

Yes, I agree with Larry Smith. Here are some of the statements that resonate well with me:

Smith explains that it is important for one to love the job they are doing. This is corroborated by John Ruskin who said: "<em>when love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.</em>"

 

Smith also makes another point to say that it is incorrect for one to be happy for only 28% of their career. That is 2 out of 7 days. He makes the illustration that 5 days a week, one must go to work. If one does not like that job, they'd always look forward to the weekend. I am an advocate for happing a happy life. If one is only happy for 2 out of 7 days a week, then they are not really happy. It's a sad way to live one's life; just to pay bills.

On the other hand,            

There are many people who have tasted poverty. Who know the unhappiness that not having enough brings. There are people never dreamt they'd become anything in life until they found the jobs they now have. For that category of people, their passion is being able to meet their need and live a life void of lack and poverty. So to ask someone in that category to go look for their passion may be anti-productive.

I'll also make reference to his last statement about luck. Smith says he doesn't wish people luck. I don't agree that life is completely without positive co-incidence. Not that it is wise to depend entirely on it.

As the saying goes "Luck favours the prepared."

If one works hard enough, the chances tend to tilt in their favour.

Cheers

What conclusion can be drawn about king arthur? how does king arthur show chivalric values in this passage?
Snezhnost [94]

A conclusion can be drawn about King Arthur "he was polite''

King Arthur shows chivalric values in this passage as "he is respectful"

Arthur, who is the descendant of King Uther Pendragon but was raised by another family, takes his rightful place as king when, as a boy, he is able to pull the sword called Excalibur from the stone.

Although he rules wisely and is counseled by Merlin the magician, Arthur makes rivals with other kings and is often at war.

As a child, Arthur is honest, trusting, modest, and good-hearted, and he maintains these qualities when he becomes king. King Arthur creates his government with an important new philosophy that makes him a great king, but the ideas are Merlyn's rather than Arthur's.

What fragment is missing from this sentence the kindest most generous person in the world?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The subject and predicate (verb) are missing, including a conjunction between "kindest" and "most."

Explanation:

When the subject, a verb, and a conjunction are added to the phrase "the kindest most generous person in the world," it will then become a sentence.  In its present form, it remains a phrase, that is, a group of words without meaning.  For example, we can correctly rephrase the above into a sentence as: "John remains the kindest and most generous person in the world."
