المعنى
Work is necessary for results.
خلفية ثقافية
The proverb reflects the 'Cult of Labor' in Ukrainian folklore. Laziness (лінь) is often personified as a monster or a disease in folk tales. In villages, this phrase is often said while working in the 'horod' (vegetable garden). It's a way of synchronizing collective labor. Despite its old roots, the phrase is popular among Ukrainian entrepreneurs to describe the 'grind' of building a startup. It is frequently written on the walls of classrooms or in the headers of exercise books to instill a work ethic in children from age 6.

Don't over-formalize
Avoid saying 'Без праці немає результату' in casual conversation. It's correct but lacks the soul of the proverb.
