To love is to commit
Edwin says: "The phrase 一见钟情
(Love at first sight) is like the perfect love story. It
speaks of the first encounters between lovers in which time stood still. It is
passionate, romantic, momentary yet eternal. However, while we enjoy entertaining
such ideas, 一见钟情
is not always realistic. I replaced the character 钟
with the similar sounding 忠 (loyal), to remind
ourselves of the commitment and sacrifices required to keep love alive. To love
is to commit."

Good Sweat is an old-fashioned reminder that what matters is not the scale of the work or its reward, but to take care and to take pride in whatever we do. Good Sweat also celebrates the spirit of those who persist, however humble or challenging their job may be, in perfecting their craft.
