Proverbs of a 40 yr old man

It is better to have only a little food in one hand, if your life is quiet and calm. Yes, if you have enough, it seems better to live without too much effort. Some people work too much. They want to gain twice as much. Look, I see people that are skillful in their work. People that achieve great things because they are jealous of others. To gain a lot, you must work too much. And if you work too hard you do not achieve anything really worthwhile.

People often see all the things that other people have. They look at other people and they become jealous. So perhaps they spend much time and effort as they try to be successful. However, they may not always produce a good result. They may neglect their family and they may lose their friends. They may lose their own good health too. Some people work wisely with knowledge and skill, then must leave the fruit of their efforts to someone who hasn’t worked for it. Reflect on this: Those who love money are never satisfied by money, and those who love wealth are never satisfied by income. Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

Study Psalm 37:16
