"Rien de ce qui est facile n'a de valeur."
— Woody Hayes
Simplified Meaning:
When something is too easy to get, it usually doesn't have much value. Think about school: if you don't study and just copy answers from a friend, you might pass your test, but you won't actually learn anything useful. It's the hard work and effort you put into studying that makes the knowledge you gain truly valuable. Another example, consider someone who wins a lot of money in the lottery. They might spend it quickly without appreciating it because they didn't work hard to earn it. On the other hand, someone who works hard for years to save money often knows how to manage it better and feels proud of their achievements. This teaches us that putting effort into reaching our goals often brings lasting satisfaction and real benefits. So next time you're facing a tough task, remember that the hard work you put in now will make the results much more rewarding.
