Life is like a sewer… what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
Meaning of the quote
What you get out of life depends on what you put into it. Just like a sewer, the more good things you put in, the more good things you'll get out. If you put in hard work, kindness, and positive energy, you'll see those same things come back to you. But if you put in laziness, negativity, or bad choices, that's what you'll end up with in the end. It's all about the effort and attitude you choose to have.
