Success
2.What we sow, so shall we reap.
3.We must sow before we reap. Sowing takes place before reaping; we must give before we get.
4.When we sow a seed, we do not reap a fruit--our harvest is manifold. If we sow a positive seed our harvest will be manifold in the positive,and if we sow a negative one the harvest shall be manifold in the negative.
5.we cannot sow and reap in the same day. There is always a period of gestation.
