"La diligence est la mère de la bonne fortune et l'oisiveté son opposé n'a jamais mené un homme au but de ses meilleurs vœux"
— Miguel de Cervantes
Simplified Meaning:
Working hard and staying active lead to good luck and success, while being lazy and doing nothing leads nowhere. Imagine a student who studies every day for an upcoming exam. Because they put in the work, they understand the material well and do great on the test. On the other hand, another student who spends their time watching TV instead of studying ends up failing. In life, effort and persistence help you achieve your goals. For example, if you want to get a promotion at work, you need to show up on time, do your tasks well, and maybe even go the extra mile. Simply hoping for a promotion without putting in the effort won’t get you anywhere. This saying encourages us to be proactive and persistent, as hard work is often rewarded with good outcomes.
