Rationale for Taking It Easy
By DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright 1978, JTA, Inc.)
Labor Day is here — the
end of the vacation period.
No more of the business of
sitting around doing noth-
ing. From now on, you roll
up your sleeves and work,
labor.
I remember a fellow who
was running for COngress
down south, who said, "I am
for labor. I would rather be
for labor than labor."
Yes, to labor, to work, is
not easy, but work is highly
praised. They say work
keeps you out of mischief
and who wants to be in mis-
chief, although sometimes
mischief can be enjoyable.
Labor omnia vincit, says
the Latin proverb. "Work
conquers everything."
"I am not afraid of
work. I can lay right
down beside it and go to
sleep," a fellow once said.
Benjamin Franklin was
very much in favor of work.
You remember his "early to
bed and early to rise" ad-
vice. But Franklin sold his
business while he was still
in his 40s and retired to
play. He went out flying a
kite and it was then that he
made his electrical dis-
coveries.
But work is a great thing.
As they say, "You've got to
eat." But there are some
disadvantages to it. As they
say, "You'll never get rich
working." The millionaires
don't work. They play golf.
You hear workers com-
plaining of not being mil-
lionaires. Why don't they
take up golf?
Just about a century
back, there was a young fel-
low in Cleveland whose
father peddled patent
medicines. The son was
going to school, hoping to
rise above the economic sta-
tion of his father. But his
school mates all said he
would never amount to
much because he spent all
his time figuring ways to
get out of work.
His name was John D.
Rockefeller.
The famous Rabbi Leib
Yitzchaok of Berdichef
once saw a fellow rushing
for all he was worth.
"Why are you rushing?"
he asked.
"I am going after my
livelihood," said the fellow.
"How do you know that
your livelihood is not be-
hind you?" asked the rabbi.
Maybe if the fellow went
slower, he would think more
and be more worthwhile to
his employers.
speed is reduced." This,
says the professor,
applies to running or
anything you do. You
perform better by not
working too hard.
Einstein said the Jews'
greatest contribution to
civilization was the sabbath
or weekly rest day. The sab-
bath was the first moment-
ous step in civilizing man.
Once a week, man could
According to Prof. pause and think about
Laurence E. Morehouse, something other than his
director of the Human job.
Performance Laboratory
of the University of
California, the best re-
sults in any effort are ob-
tained if you don't work
too hard. As Leonard
Gross in The New York
Times writes: Prof.
Morehouse contends that
"every time you make
any movement, you must
contract and then relax a
muscle. If you work too
hard, it becomes difficult
to do the relaxing, so the
