don't sit on your butt

Answer 2

Answer one is sort of correct, but "laurels" were a form of recognition for achievement back in early Athens, Greece, and therefore the admonition of "Don't rest on your laurels" means to continue the efforts to achieve and not rely onrecognition for previous achievements.

"Laurels" refer to the wreath of laurel (sweet bay) leaves placed on the victor's head
