Third Post

Today in class, we discussed Elbert Hubbard's purpose behind writing A Message to Garcia. The main message was to describe how important initiative and hard work is. Hubbard describes that the people who work hard and complete a task without asking questions are the more successful people. People who can take initiative and be a leader will get rewarded for their work. Hubbard describes how modern day people need to have more motivation. Instead of asking why they have to do something or attempting to get out of the task, they should complete their task the best they can. In A Message to Garcia, Rowan completed his task of getting the message to Garcia without any questions being asked. That is the best way to get things done in Hubbard's eyes. The employees or bosses who hesitate when a task is difficult, are considered imbeciles in Hubbard's eyes. That was Elbert Hubbard's purpose of writing A Message to Garcia.
