Dear @chbartist sir!
In the context of the present, the proverb has become a little vomiting God helps those who keep updating themselves over time and keep up their work honestly.There are some such traditions and myths that we are still not able to get out of the way. Besides updating the facts, we should also take some inspiration from them, as the basis of our ancestor's rule is based on available resources, as well as difficult He used to work hard and discharge his duties, which saved him from physical ailments.
The change is the law of nature, the country, society, culture or man did not change in time with their existence, their existence came under threat. For example, we can take the name of the Nokia brand, Even today, it is far behind in the race for business.
I agree with you that it is not necessary to get up from 4:00 in the morning and do not work all day. Need is this thing, that we need to work as much as we need to do, work 12 hours or 17 hours .it is day or at night.This is my own thaught.
Regards.
