Original text - Turkish - ne kadar duman o kadar randuman

Hi FIGEN,

Is this meaningless in Turkish?

CC: FIGEN KIRCI

hi lilian,
the meaning is hidden betweetn the lines, it's something like 'how much effort that much effect/result'. Sorry, I don't know how is that proverb in english.

Does it mean that the results are proportional to the effort?

Yep (reverse order)

actually this sentence is not meaningless but it is like a proverb in Turkish.I want to open this sentence in english " if you work more , you can get more" .that is to say , this sentence cannot translate in english samely..
