Ecclesiastes 10:10
‘Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade.’
- Most people just do what they are required to do.
- Over time this wears you down and you can become like a blunt ax.
- But successful people always do a little more than what is required.
- In the process they stay sharp and effective.
Prayer: Lord, help me not just to do what is required, but cause my life to be effective just like a sharpened ax is more effective. Amen.

Prediker 10:10
As die yster stomp geword het, en ‘n mens die snykant nie geslyp het nie moet hy die kragte meer inspan;
- Meeste mens doen wat van hulle verwag word.
- Met die verloop van tyd raak mens moeg en word soos ‘n stomp byl.
- Maar suksesvolle mense doen altyd meer as wat van hulle verwag word.
- In die proses bly hulle skerp en effektief.
Gebed: Vader, help my om meer te doen as wat van my verwag word sodat my lewe effektief sal wees soos wat ‘n byl wat skerp gemaak word effektief bly. Amen.

传道书10:10
铁器钝了，若不将刃磨快，就必多费气力，但得智慧指教便有益处。
- 大多数人只做那些被要求去做的部分。
- 如果一直持续如此的话到最后只会像铁器一样被磨损！
- 但是成功的人总是超出所要求的去做事，
- 并且借此过程保持敏捷和有效。
祷告：主，请帮助我不只是做被要求的部分，而请让我的生命像一把利斧一般有效！阿门！

Mpitoriteny 10:10
“Raha dombo ny antsy ka tsy asaina, dia tsy maintsy manao anteninaina izy; fa ny fahendrena no mahasoa satria mahalavorary ny raharaha izany”
- Ny ankamaroan’ny olona dia mianona fotsiny amin’izay ampanaovina azy
- Ka nony ela, dia handreraka anao izany ary mety hitarika anao ho lasa toy ny famaky dombo
- Saingy ny olona tafita dia ireo izay manao mihoatra an’izay hampanaovina azy.
- Amin’izay fotoana izay dia maranitra sy mahomby hatrany izy ireo.
Ray ô, ampio aho mba tsy hianona fotsiny amin’izay ampanaovina ahy fa tendreo ny fiainako ho tena hahomby toy ny famaky tena maranitra. Amen
