It usually means that if you put in a lot of effort or resources, you will be rewarded by a good result. A company that puts a lot of effort and money into marketing will reap the rewards by winning more customers. A student who studies hard will reap the rewards of good qualifications.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ReapTheRewards/cnjmg/post.htmSun, 24 May 2009 07:02:04 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:233722Peixinha2http://www.englishforums.com/English/ReapTheRewards/cnjmg/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-233722.xmlHi, Does this have the meaning "to harvest the fruit" and "take the lion's share "?
