HeaIth Essential 70 worker..

Practical men and philosophers,
workers in every sphere, are pretty
generally agreed that health is one of
the prime essentials TO effectiveness.
Schopenhauer. who discusses human
happiness more for the reason that
the lives of most men fall short Of
even a poor ideal than for any other,
says: Health outweighs all other
blessings SO much that one may real
~ say that healthy beggar is happier
than an ailing king" Or again: ITO
secure and promote this feeling OF
cheerfulness should be the supreme
aim 81 all our endeavors after happi-
ness. Now. II is certain that nothing
contributes so little 10 cheerfulness as
riches, OF SO much. as health.
We should try as much as possible
to maintain high degree OF health:
for cheerfulness is the very flower OF
IL
And again. this philosopher says:
~Ninetenths OF our happiness depends
upon health alone. With health every
thing is a source of pleasure; without
it. nothing else. whatever il may be.
is enjoyable: even the other personal
blessings great mind. a happy tenn
perament-are degraded and dwarfed
for want of il. So IL is really with
good reason that when two people
meet. the first thing the- do is 10 in
quire after each others health, and TO
express the hope that II Is good: for
good health is by far the most impo--
tant element in human happiness Il
follows from all this that the greatest
OF follies is TO sacrifice health for any
other kind of happiness Everything
else should be postponed to it."
