Resting on your laurels means you are relying on your past achievements.
Look to your laurels means that you have competition.
LaurelThe classic Laurel has won a place In the annals of the human raceAnd stands for success in all the arts.In formal gardens she imparts An elegant note, She also knows How to garnish hotels, and auto
shows, Serves as garlands where pictures are
hung,Decorates halls where songs are
sung.Her accomplishments are never-
ending, She takes a hand a bar rum blending And, despite her regal manner and
looks, Talented Laurel helps the cooks.
L. Young
