- Many predictions have been made that man will not have
- to work in the days that lie ahead. Yet, we know that work
- is a major element of any search for happiness in life. It
- is said that man is meant to work. You have probably heard
- that every man must find a creative outlet for his talents.
- Man's failure to find this needed outlet will surely result
- in the development of a dull, unproductive mind. While the
- value of work deserves great emphasis, it is also important
- to keep in mind the need for a healthy balance between work
- and play. Play, like work, is required for true happiness.
- Very few goals can bring as much satisfaction to one's
- life as work done well. Yet, we know that many people will
- make a substantial effort to avoid the very work that could
- provide added depth and meaning to their existence. Thomas
- Edison, one of our greatest inventors, said that not one of
- his many inventions came by accident, or luck, but that all
- of them grew out of hours of hard work. From a major study
- of employed workers, we have been informed that workers who
- frequently change jobs do so not from being overworked, but
- rather their major complaint was that of being underworked.
