THE TRUE MEANING OF WORK

For one who knows the true meaning of work, he regards his work, is it ordinary or conspicuous, not merely as a job or a  profession but as a calling of utmost significance to which he must devote all his heart and all his energy. At times, he   shortens his sleep and misses his meals  in order to give due attention to his work.  He works hard, and works inces-  santly, and  in the intensity of his work he wishes there were forty-eight hours in a  day and fourteen days in a week.

And in the  concentration of his work, he feels rest  and meals are necessary but unwelcome interruptions of his work.  He wishes he would not know fatigue so that he could keep on working. He finds peace and  comfort in work that he could find in nothing else. The more devotedly he pours his energy into his work, the greater  is his joy and exultation.
