"Rien de ce qui est facile n'a de valeur."
— Woody Hayes
Simplified Meaning:
When something doesn't take much effort to achieve, it usually isn't very valuable. Think about it like this: if you find a dollar on the ground, it's nice, but it doesn't mean much since you didn't work for it. On the other hand, when you save up money from working hard at a job, that money feels more valuable because you put effort into earning it. In another example, if you want to learn to play the guitar, just picking it up and strumming a few strings might be fun, but it won't make you good at playing. Practicing for hours and learning the chords and songs, however, makes you a skilled guitarist, and that skill is worth a lot more because you earned it through dedication and hard work. Using this idea in life means setting goals and being ready to put in the effort to reach them. The satisfaction and value of what you achieve will be much greater if you work hard for it. So, whether it's in your job, a hobby, or personal goals, always remember that real value often comes from the hard work you put in.
