What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that the way we spend our time at work decides what we own or have, while the way we use our free time decides who we really are as people. If we work hard and do our best, we'll be able to get more things and money. But how we choose to relax and enjoy ourselves in our free time is what truly shapes us into the kind of person we become.
