I’m not a native English speaker, so I may be misunderstanding the meaning. Does this mean “If you work hard, you should be rewarded. I hope you feel happy with the outcome” or something? But sometimes the reward is different from what I expected. I often got scared later by thinking “If I hadn’t failed there and hadn’t found my fatal mistakes, what would have happened?”

Besides, even if we could get what we wanted, I don’t enjoy someone saying, “See these acorns I got! Work hard, then you can win!!” I don’t need those many acorns and feel uncomfortable with that person. I think that person may lose many friends by making much effort and getting what he/she wants. Then is the person actually happy?

I would probably give the treasures away, but not to people who demand more and more. It’s like giving water to a strainer, and I will go bankrupt shortly. I want to give the acorn to the one who can imagine how I earned it and how the acorns grew up because the one would make the most of the small gift. Then the acorn and I can get more worth than we could imagine and we are actually rewarded by sharing our fortune. Giving is sometimes getting more.
