Bible Reading: Ecclesiastes 4
Key Verse: Verse 8 – “There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.”
Key Words: yet is there no end of all his labour
Those who know me, know that I expect and appreciate a solid day’s work from employees; but I have come to realize over the years that every employee needs time to “unwind,” time to spend with their children and grandchildren. I’ve also come to realize the need for rest, not slothfulness, but rest. I read the following recently. It is nine rules for being a member of The Coronary and Ulcer Club.
- Your job comes first; forget everything else.
- Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are fine times to be working in the office. No one will bother you on these days.
- Always carry your briefcase with you. You never know when you can get in a few minutes’ work.
- Never say no to a request.
- Accept all invitations to meetings, banquets, etc.
- All forms of recreation are a waste of good working time.
- Never delegate responsibility to others, carry the entire work load yourself.
- If your work calls for traveling, work all day and then you can travel all night to make that 8:00 A.M. meeting.
- No matter how many jobs you are already doing, remember you can always do one more.
Work is good, but time for your family is also needed.
