What do working people gain from their hard labor?
In hard work there is always something gained, but idle talk leads only to poverty.
What do people gain from all their hard work under the sun?
But when I turned to look at all that I had accomplished and all the hard work I had put into it, I saw that it was all pointless. ⌞It was like⌟ trying to catch the wind. I gained nothing ⌞from any of my accomplishments⌟ under the sun.
This also is a painful tragedy: They leave exactly as they came. What advantage do they gain from working so hard for the wind?
What good will it do for people to win the whole world and lose their lives? Or what will a person give in exchange for life?
to follow the example of people like these and anyone else who shares their labor and hard work.
