WORK, WORK, WORK!

Your work is to discover your work

and then with all your heart give yourself to it.

The best way to appreciate your job

is to imagine yourself without one.

Pray as though everything depended on God.

Work as though everything depended on you.

Work is either fun or drudgery.

It depends on your attitude. I like fun.

While the ideal of society is universal freedom,

idleness should never be tolerated.

All able-bodied persons should be compelled

to do at least a self-sustaining amount of work.

Never forget there is only one adventure

which is more satisfying and thrilling than the attempt to discover the will of the living God, and that is the supreme experience of honestly trying to do that divine will. And fail not to remember that the will of God can be done in any earthly occupation. Some callings are not holy and others secular. All things are sacred in the lives of those who are spirit led; that is, subordinated to truth, ennobled by love, dominated by mercy, and restrained by fairness — justice.

BE A JACK OF TWO-OR-THREE TRADES

.

.
It is not enough to train men for work;

in a complex society there must also be provided efficient methods of place finding. Before training citizens in the highly specialized techniques of earning a living, they should be trained in one or more methods of commonplace labor, trades or callings which could be utilized when they were transiently unemployed in their specialized work. No civilization can survive the long-time harboring of large classes of unemployed. In time, even the best of citizens will become distorted and demoralized by accepting support from the public treasury. Even private charity becomes pernicious when long extended to able-bodied citizens.
