Simplified Meaning:
When you work hard, taking time to rest makes that hard work feel rewarding and satisfying. Imagine you spend all day cleaning your house. After finishing, you sit down with a cold drink and watch some TV. That relaxing moment feels extra good because you earned it through your efforts during the day. Think about athletes who train intensely; they need days off to recover. Without those breaks, they wouldn’t perform well. Similarly, everyone needs rest to recharge and feel good about their accomplishments. This way, rest becomes an essential and enjoyable part of working hard, not just a necessity.
