The reward of hard work

I remember, as a child, watching a television show called ‘Dobie Gillis.’ One of the characters was a beatnik by the name of Maynard G. Krebs. Every time the word ‘work’ was mentioned, Maynard would jerk as though a cold chill ran through his entire body, and he would raise his voice in tone and pitch to produce a squeak and say “WORK?” Obviously, his beatnik lifestyle was like an allergy to any kind of labor. Some people detest work. The reasons vary and may include the fact that they do not like their employer, don’t like the work itself,…
