Definition
收获 (shōu huò) means 'to harvest/reap' (crops) and also 'gains, rewards' from effort or experience. Unlike 收割 (shōu gē), which is only the literal verb for reaping crops, 收获 is broader and also a noun. As a noun, it contrasts with 成果 (chéng guǒ 'achievement, positive result') which is more formal and specific to work/research, and with 果实 (guǒ shí) which is a more literary/figurative 'fruit of labor'.
