What is the meaning of the quote 'Not all pain is gain'?

[Edit]
To answer this you need the origin of the quote "No Pain-No Gain." This is from people who work out to build muscle and strength. So The quote "Not all pain is gain" means that if the pain is coming from damage such as a torn ligament, then it's definitely not gain.

Another interpretation of "No Pain-No Gain" could be "You have to work hard to get what you want." The quote you gave us could mean "Not everything you do will amount to something."
