“Folks who never do any more than they get paid for, never get paid for any more than they do”
— Elbert Hubbard

Simplified Meaning:
If you only do the minimum required at your job, you will only get the basic pay and not get noticed for promotions or raises. For example, if you work in a store and your job is to stock shelves, but you only do that and nothing else even though you have time, your boss will just think of you as an average worker. However, if you also help with customer questions or clean up a spill without being asked, your boss will see you as a valuable employee who goes above and beyond. People who do extra work often get more opportunities and recognition. So, putting in a little more effort can lead to better rewards and career growth.
