HAPPINESS AND WORK
From L. p. 4. Magazine.

To appreciate the real JOY OF work.
one has to suffer a spell OF enforced
idleness.
The idle moments taken when one
feels like 1t are not idle moments at
all; they're simply \ change Of &C.
cupation.
AS much as we all hate to have the
days slip away from US, yet we hate
more to have the time drag
Every man needs recreation, bus
no well man needs idleness.
Most of us get tired of our jobs now
and then, but We also get tired Of
ourselves
The things we love best very fire.
Quently get on our nerves.
And SO, it is no argument that
work is not pleasure II it doesn't
run along smoothly without un.
pleasant Interruptions.
Work Is a demand Of nature.
If we want knowledge, we have
to work for It,
If we want power, we have to work
for it,
Nothing comes to US worth whiio
unless We work for 1t.
And as things worth while make
our happiness,
Happiness can be safely credited q
work.
We cannot judge a mans value ~
his kn&Sedge, but by the use he
makes it. and the result hs sete
from itF
The highest type of wisdom 70 q u
learn that which il useful. and then
put 1t to practice. s
1t doesn't matter how much busie
