A worker's appetite works for him,When I read this, I don't just think about appetites and hunger. I think about ambition. All of us want stuff. Sometimes it's big, sometimes little, but there's always something. We may know we don't need it, but we want it, and I read this as saying that's not necessarily bad.
For his hunger urges him on.
Not necessarily, but it can be. We can want the wrong things, or too much of things. This would be where hunger in the proverb turns to gluttony. While ambition can be a good thing, it also needs to be properly harnessed and directed, to point us the direction God wants us to go.
