"No sweet without sweat" is an old saying which was coneluded by ancient
people from their daily experiences.
In ancient times, some peasants transplanted rice seedlings,gathered in
wheat and spread manure in the shining sun, in the pouring rain and in the
fierce wind. Sweat wet through their clothes and dropped from their forehead.
They stepped out of their home to the field carrying on a hoe on their shoulders
with the moon overhead giving off dim light and went home with their exhausted
bodies when the sun set day by day. When autumn,the harvest season came, smiles
appeared on their black and wrinkly faces which were caused by the strong
sunshine and hard work while gazing at the large fields of ripe crops swaying in
the breeze. How fine! In contrast, other peasants who lay in their houses with
comfort escaping the poor weather conditions outside only to find nothing in
their storehouses while those hard working peasants' storehouses were filled
with golden wheat and other grain. Then, they learned the meaning of the saying
"No sweet without sweat". It may be the origin of the proverb.
But the proverb is also true in modern times. With the rolling wheel of the
history it has been proved that the saying can also be applied to many aspects
of social matters in any times of the history. Without constant practice, how
can one become a planist and win the respect and praise from all over the world?
Without hard training, how can an athlete win the gold medal in the
international games where cruel competitions exit all the time?Without sweat
paid off, how can you climb up the top of the mountain and look over the
boundless beautiful scene?
Have you learned the saying by Edison that 1% genius plus 99% hard work
make success? Maybe you are born with genius just like Mozart, but without sweat
you also can not get sweet.It is undoubted that Mozart had the amazing genius of
composing. As a matter of fact, what were really handed down were not what he
wrote by means of his genius but by his huge amount of effort. When you listen
to his great art works, you will be deeply moved. It's best to have genius at
birth while it's worst to rely on it entirely and pay no effort.
Even if you are considered less intelligent than others, you can obtain
sweet through sweat as well. Take Edison as an example. Once he was considered
little mind and had little education but at last he became the inventor of the
lamp which greatly improved civilization of human beings. He had to do several
thousand of experiments in order to find out a suitable metal which was
resistant to high temperatures and oxidation for the sake of making a lamp which
could be long used. He succeeded with his large amount of sweat. If he had given
up half way and if he had grudged his sweat, he would only have been a mediocre
person.
In a success, genius can' t replace sweat. Sweet mostly comes from sweat
rather than genius. The saying "No sweat no sweet" will be the permanent golden
proverb of human beings. |
