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. its best to have genius at birth while its 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.
