It’s Labor Day in the United States. This is the day when we celebrate the Puritan work ethic. We celebrate the virtue of hard work. It is the most essential thing in life. Everything is meaningless, if you don’t work yourself into an early grave. As a reward for all of the hard work, we receive a day off so that we can grill some meat.
I’ve heard it said that if you love your job, you never work a day in your life. I love my job but some days can be hard. I know that I am the luckiest man alive because I get to do something that I love doing. Please don’t make me take the day off. I will keep working and still find time to grill the meat. There’s that old Puritan work ethic. Back to work.
