The Joy of Labor
Anonymous
Wise men of ancient times and successful men of today have told us that
labor is sweet. Its reward is not material gain but what one becomes by it.
Work does much more for us than just giving us a living; it gives us our
life and the reason for living. The real joys of life come from doing
something and doing it well.
All of us hope for success, but it is illusive 1 and hard to keep. It nearly
always slips away from one like sand through the fingers, like water
through a leaky pail 2, unless it is held tight but hard work, day by day,
night by night, year in year out. Everyone who fears failure should work
harder and harder with a faithful 3 heart as long as he lasts.
