Awww, you can’t make fun of someone else’s english and then fail on your own.. When you change lines while still quoting, you leave out the second quote in the first set.

There is an expression that the only place “success” comes before “teamwork” is in the dictionary. A lot of idiots have tried substituting another word for “teamwork” without considering that it was no longer true. Another example is a trade school which said “the only place success comes before preparation is in the dictionary” which is pretty bad for an educational institution :}

It is a fail because they misquoted Mark Twain. End of argument.

PS = Stop double posting just because you think everyone hasn’t already seen your argument. We did. We just figured you didn’t know the quote.

From a pure linguistics stand point, this is technically permissable because the sentance concerns the word “work” which is simutaniously being acted upon by the adjective “hard”. It just looks funny because of the semantics of the phrase “hard work”. It’s not really at the level of a fail. I think there is more fail on the part of those who just don’t get it.

Lol, fail on fail?
This is a Vince Lombardi quote.
“The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.”

you fail. they’re saying that success doesn’t come without hard work. you don’t understand.

well..i know what happened in this Fail.
Here in Brazil, we have the thing…but here Hard Work is “Trabalho Duro”…so it comes after the Succes (sucesso)…what makes the phrase correct

By: TurkAlbert

TurkAlbert — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:21:44 +0000

Oh, and just so people know, it DOES refer to the alphabet.

In order to be successful, you must put in the work. YOu’ll never be successful without putting forth some effort, so the only place possible you’ll find success before work IS the dictionary, because you’ll never get success without it otherwise.

By: TurkAlbert

TurkAlbert — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:14:31 +0000

This isn’t one of the better ones, being as they obviously meant success comes before work. I laughed at all of the other ones, but this is no failure, and should be removed, though putting the ADJECTIVE “hard” in there throws up some questions.

its supposed to say just WORK
because S comes before W.

but S doesnt come before H and hard work isnt even in the dictionary so failfail.

uhm the point is just that ‘hard work’ isnt an actual work to be found in t he dictionary, if they only used the word work it would not be a fail

By: Cameron

Cameron — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 05:14:40 +0000

Wow. Just reading the comments makes me suprised how many people dont understand this. It says the dictionary is the only place where success comes before hard work. Yet hard work (if it were a word in the dictionary) would in fact come before success

Actually, in my language, portuguese, it would make sense… Since Sucess = Sucesso and Hard Work = Trabalho Duro… but anyway, hard work wouldn’t be in any dictionary XD”

You realise that they are saying that the dictionary is the only place where success comes before hard work. They’re saying that in real life, hard work comes before success. The idea of the saying is correct, it was just the fact that they didn’t realise that success comes after hard work in the dictionary as well as in real life.

Nice blog. Education is important and has become even more important in this recession. People need college now more than ever … not to get a new job but to keep the job they currently have. Competition for the few open jobs that are available is fierce and people that are undereducated are finding it impossible to get a decent job. Go into your local fast food joint and see how many middle aged people are moonlighting to make ends meet.

If you want to get into semantics… by use of the term ONLY, the sign is an inherent Fail… “success” I am sure proceeds the phrase “hard work” in any number of media, (literature, posters etc). The fact that success precedes hard work on the sign itself, (which is a place), makes the statement fallacious. Hyperbole by definition is a lie / exaggeration of a perceived truth.
