What do people gain by all their hard work in this world? ⌊They gain nothing that lasts!⌋
-or-
People work for their whole lives. But they get no benefit from the work that they do here on the earth.
-or-
People work very hard while they live on the earth. But in the end, what do they receive in return for their work? (EEB) ⌊They receive nothing that lasts!⌋
