Pondering On Labor…

 

Hey, it’s a long weekend...some say this would be an ideal time for pondering. As if I needed an excuse.  As I have previously expressed...I ponder because I can.   So why not today?  Why not any and every day?  Indeed.

 

And along with pondering...my mind wanders about in the world of wonder. So I digress and find some interesting thoughts on the topic of labor and working from a diverse group of thinkers...and doers because it’s the Labor Day weekend and I’m pondering:

 

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress;

working together is success.

Henry Ford

 

Talent without working hard is nothing.

Cristiano Ronaldo

 

A rainbow is the product of physics working

for your appreciation of beauty.

Kyle Hill

 

So whether this weekend is one of a labor, play or maybe a combination of both -- I suggest spending some of it pondering.    Just because.

I always thought it interesting that on Labor bay we avoid labor. Have a great Holiday!

I once knew someone that claimed they were one of the ten most brilliant minds of our time, but chose to do nothing with it.   His lifestyle was what you might see in The Big Lebowski.  I would think if someone had a mind that brilliant, they would be unable to stop themselves from working.

Hi Michael- I ponder, cogitate, and meander through many subjects that enter my mind but often settle on one. Have a fun Labor Day. Going to the movies??

I love your pondering, Michael!

Henry Ford was wise enough to understand that if his employees were paid enough they could afford to buy his cars.

Michael, I often find myself pondering on a Sunday. Yesterday was all Labor so the pondering will happen today. Perhaps while sitting outside and enjoying the nice weather we are having. I always enjoy your pondering posts.

Pondering can be so laborious. Ha. Therefore, I guess this is a day made for pondering. Thanks for getting the theme started. Happy Labor Day, Michael. D

Hi Michael, any day, including the Labor Day is a good day for pondering. You've selected some great quotes to go with your post. I have today off, no work as I celebrate Labor Day with pondering.

Of course you can ponder any and every day of the week, Michael! And, yes, Labor Day included!

Love Henry Ford's quote - a lot of people don't like working with others (or they can't share the same sandbox!) but, when you come together, stay together and work together - now, that is true success!

Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day!

What better time that labor day to ponder!  Of course, one can make time to ponder any day of the week - or channel that energy into some deep meditation......  Ohm Ohm Ohm Ohm etc. etc. etc.

This is always one of the my favorite types of posts to happen upon. Debe Maxwell, CRS had made mention of it in one of her missives and I just had to stop by and take it all in. I love the rainbow quote the best. Left brain and right brain coming together in an aha moment.
