Why TAX. Life Too Seriously

Why Take Life Too Seriously
Some Of US are beginning to realize
that we have taken life too seriously;
that we have not had enough play;
that we have not had half enough fun.
Many business men see the fallacy of
working too many hours day. For
merly men thought they must spend
most or all of the daylight hours in
working. Intense application to bust
ness had become almost a religion.
But now they are beginning TO learn
that 1t is efficiency, mental vigor,
freshness of mind and body. and not
necessarily long hours that do things:
and that this mental visor. freshness
and energy which produce efficient
work are impossible when the body
Is weary and the brain is tagged; that
mental robustness means physical ro-
business. writes Orison SWEET Marden
in Success. So there has been
steady shortening OF the working
hours of men of affairs and an in
creasing of the play hours. just in pro-
portion to the Importance and eiiicien-
cy Of their work and responsibility.
Multitudes of men now find that they
can accomplish much more in year
by spending part of the time which
they used to put into work in playing
golf, tennis, or some other game, or in
flying about the country in an automo-
bile. There are plenty of business
IT, ,tp ,t,-,, at I,a nf
great establishments who get through
an enormous amount of work, who do
not spend more than three or four
hours day in their Offices, and who
frequently take long vacations. They
find that good deal of play and mix
ing much with the world not only i'm.
proves their health and multiplies
their efficiency. but also gives them
broader, saner outlook.
