Motivational Monday

It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.

I enjoyed the quote about the benefits of work, Kristin. I've got a trivia question about your author above. What best selling novel did his daughter write that arguably caused the Civil War by flaming the Abolitionist Movement? How about it Wisconsin Wise One? (no fair asking your HTH!) ^_~

Bruce, glad you liked the quote....I have no clue what the answer is (and I won't cheat and google it), although I am sure my hubby would know in a second!

Wonder if this is who Beecher Street was named for ? If rust you must....you only get crust...and the good stuff will be left to those who work not only harder but smarter.

Worry is not productive. Confucius used to say "Anticipation of death is worst than death itself" meaning the end result isn't or may not be anything what people have worried about.

Kristin.. I can't say how many times I've thought "if I didn't have stress in my life, I would not be able to do anything". This ranks right up there with worry. Nothing you can do about it.. but let it go. This is just easier said than done.
