50:38 am. "Honor is found in honest toil." —Gerald Cleveland This comment had an impact on me as a reader since it came from a really good guy and demonstrates how I, too, may become honorable. It motivates me to work honestly and diligently. This is due to the fact that such activities are rewarded with honor. According to the web site for The Gerald C. Hockett Foundation, an organization devoted to honoring our nation's veterans by providing educational opportunities, honors are given for "distinguished service in action against an enemy, or in support of friendly forces." The foundation says its mission is to "provide education and employment opportunities for military personnel and their families." The word "honor" comes from the Latin honores, which means "worthy of praise," or "value." As a person receives honor for their actions, so too do they become worthy of praise or recognition. In the context of this lesson, "honor lies in honest toil" can be interpreted as meaning that true honor can only be achieved through hard work. One cannot expect to be honored unless they work to deserve it. However, one can hope to be recognized for their efforts. This idea is demonstrated in the story "The Boy Who Grew Flowers", written by Hans Christian Andersen. It tells the tale of a young boy who works very hard at a trade school where he learns skills that will help him earn money.
