Sweat to earn – A wonderful HR message from evolution of man
Sweat to live. One has to sweat and make the livelihood. This is not a simple phrase for quote but is the ultimate science that only has made the human evolution possible on earth.

Sweat to live means work hard and earns the wages and not by any other means. The earnings come out of hard work alone will taste sweet and hence everyone has work for the wage. This phrase is extremely relevant to the corporate ecosystem where many people will do nothing while small group of people alone work hard and generate resources for everyone. This is the moral truth about sweat to live.
The science of ‘sweat’ is no way different from the moral definition of sweat. All warm blooded animals in general sweat for the purpose of thermoregulation. The brain of all warm blooded animals is very sensitive to extremes of temperature such as cold or heat as the body temperature of all warm blooded animals remains constant.
Among the various warm blooded animals, how man alone stand separate and unique. The brain and intelligence of man alone differentiates man from other animals. The mechanism of thermoregulation for the development of the brain of the man is very unique from all other animals. This unique mechanism only protects the continuous evolution of the brain of man.
The unique mechanism of thermoregulation in man is sweating and shivering. Sweat glands are distributed throughout skin of the man. The watery sweat come out of the skin through the sweat glands and cause evaporative cooling to human system. This mechanism is very sensitive and superior than the other mechanisms that are present in various warm blooded animals.
None of the animals have such an effective evaporative cooling or thermoregulatory mechanism like that of man. The sweating for the purpose of thermoregulation in man only keep man the most evolved species over all other life forms on earth.
When evolution has given so much of importance for sweating, why men shy to sweat in the corporate?
People in most corporate work less, never sweat, do the business of showing and showcasing to fool around. Unfortunately, such people are considered as great ‘managerial leaders’ by the corporate world. Such funny culture more often exist in one man dominant or driven corporate.
Learn from nature and biology that says only when one sweats to live, one would evolve further. Nature has shown the way for man through the process of evolution of unique thermoregulation mechanism but man has to find his way towards his further evolution and which is possible only if one prefers to sweat to live.
The meaning of the phrase ‘sweat to live’ should not be reduced to the physical sense or as quotable quote but it has to be understood in real evolutionary sense. Every earning, recognition, appreciation and applause, one should gain by hard work and not by petty politics. This essential is what the evolution of sweating in man conveys to the corporate world.
