“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

If you think i am wrong than deeply sorry.

Where did I see it before? Ah, yes, Arbeit macht frei.

No the “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. is written by Stephen Hawking

And other one is written by my experience

What is wrong with looking down at your feet? Or anywhere else than stars?

What does it have to do with work? I wouldn't recommend looking up at the stars while hitting a nail with a hammer.

And regarding the last part. Life can be empty with or without work. It also can be full with or without it.

Never give up work? Any work? Useless work, too? Work for a negative goal, too?

Isn't the whole statement taken out of context, by any chance?

Regarding your addition. Do they actually want a work or a pay?

See the meaning meaning hidden not the outer appearance 

Do you want to discuss a hidden meaning? Why to hide it?

Life in a wheelchair, unable to move? I can see where he's coming from.

But we're not all afflicted in that way.

That works better for an astronomer, than a tightrope walker. Of course, most of us would not be served well by either focus: we need to look at the road, at the screen, at the classroom, at the camera, at what our hands are doing.

Never give up work.

And that's a fine slogan for people who are able to carry on doing the work they chose and love. For others, retirement makes sense.

I have not found this to be true.

What I'm wondering is: Do you have a purpose in offering us this bumper-sticker medley?

I like symbolically interpreting this.

Don't force the past to determine your future (Halo Effect). Never stop thinking. The mind must believe in something or it does not want to exist (Godot).
