The value of achievement lies in the achieving. (Albert Einstein, influential 20th century physicist)
Another way of saying it: “The value of work is the working.” Whatever the accomplishment, honest work is important and is its own reward. According to the Bible, man was created to work, and, in doing so, he most honors his Creator.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for [God], not for men. (Colossians 3:23)
