هرکه در پی رنج است، گنج یابد
harkeh dar pey-e ranj ast, ganj yaabad
Whoever seeks pain, finds treasure
意味
Success and reward come to those who endure hardship and effort.
文化的背景
In Iran, poetry is not just for books; it's a way of speaking. Using proverbs like this shows you are 'Bā-adab' (polite and educated). The 'Ranj' is often interpreted as the 'Riyāzat' (asceticism) required to kill the ego and find the 'Ganj' of divine love. Iranian managers often use this to build a culture of hard work, though younger generations sometimes critique it as promoting 'toxic productivity'. The Iranian school system is very rigorous. This proverb is frequently cited by teachers to justify the heavy workload.
Use it for validation
If someone is complaining about their hard work, don't just say 'Good job'. Say this proverb to show you respect their 'Ranj'.
Don't over-modernize
Never say 'Harke dar pey-e ranj ast, ganj peyda mikonad'. It sounds like a translation error. Keep the 'yābad'.
