8:16 我專心求智慧,要看世上所做的事。(有晝夜不睡覺不闔眼的。)
8:17 我就看明上帝一切的作為,知道人查不出日光之下所做的事;任憑他費多少力尋查,都查不出來,就是智慧人雖想知道,也是查不出來。
16 When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—people getting no sleep day or night— 17 then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.

傳道者在這裡要讓人知道,即使是自以為有智慧的人,也不能完全明白世間的各樣事情。這也就是告訴我們,面臨到現實的問題,不要自以為是,自以為都知道,反倒要謙卑來倚靠上帝!
也因為這樣,我們不要以為有成就的成功人士會比較清楚狀況,他們其實也是不清楚,只是比別人殷勤努力,多承受更多的挫折,但是他們不放棄,最後做出一點成果來。
也因此,我們不要以為智慧和方法是萬靈丹,反倒是勇氣與堅持,是有所成果的重要原因!我們要鍛鍊的,反倒是一顆不放棄的心,在一次次的打擊之後,仍然堅定站立,不斷突破,就會有所斬獲,得著上帝的眷顧!
