Wise men of ancient times and successful men of today have told us that labor is sweet. Its (reward) is not material gain but what one becomes by it. Work does much more for us than just giving us a living; it gives us our life and the (reason) for living. The real joys of life come from doing something and doing it well.
All of us hope for success, but it is hard to keep. It nearly always (slips away) from one like sand through the fingers, like water through a (leaky) pail, unless it is held tight but hard work, day by day, night by night, year in year out. Everyone who (fears) failure should work harder and harder with a (faithfull) heart as long as he lasts.
