Of course, if this attitude is developed, it is because the parent stresses it to the child. This means that one should prepare himself properly for any task and give himself to it completely. The more he knows about the job the more interesting it will become. The child should be encouraged to have constructive hobbies. Even leisure can be work, and work can be rest.
Rest is simply the changing from the use of one set of nerves and muscles to another.
A famous baseball star said that he was happy because he was getting paid for what he preferred to do. If the child can be taught to use his spare time constructively, he is a few steps ahead of the others. The making of model airplanes and handcraft can help the child prepare for either a vocation or an avocation. Hence, he is taught to enjoy work rather than leisure and that part of his life which is not given to his vocation can be a constructive part. Many of the greatest works ever written were written by men who were employed in fields other than writing, but who used their leisure for writing.
