Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 109. The  proverb today is no pain no

gain. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. This proverb basically means that

To-infinitive

one must work hard and suffer in order to advance and make progress. Yeah.

Definitely. The origin of this quote comes from Ben Franklin. Yeah. He is one of

my favorite ones to actually give quotes from.  Obvious,  so many good quotes. In an

article titled "The Way to Wealth"  in 1758 and here's the quote. "There are no gains

without pain. All right. Let's continue.  Jane Fonda you know,  the famous

actress you know,  daughter of Henry Fonda.  Although she's a senior citizen herself

these days.  Jane Fonda popularized this proverb even more with her aerobics

video in the 1980s. Fitness centers often had a sign on the wall with this proverb

as a type of encouragement for working out. Yeah I think many of them still do

today. So it wouldn't be uncommon if you went to a fitness center or gym and they

have this kind of as a motto or a sign on the wall to encourage people to work

harder. "No pain no gain. " So if don't  you know have some aches and pains from

working out , you probably won't get stronger or lose weight or build

yourself up. Okay. And let's look at some examples here. Okay good. Example number

one. If you're really serious about losing weight. You must start an exercise

program as well as cutting down on your food intake. Again remember,  no pain no

gain. Or number two.  If you want to compete professionally you must practice

for at least five hours a day. It is must. No pain no gain. So that's the way we

usually use it. We always add it to something like that. To get the point

across. That you know.  I know,  I know it's uncomfortable I know you

don't want to do it,  but you're not really going to advance and not going to get

ahead. If you don't put in some,  if you don't actually go through some pain in

order to get ahead. All right. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope  it was clear. Thank you for
