Show WHEN THE DE8T WORK 18 DONE. At Times When the Dody Rests and the Mind Is Active. "The best work that most of us do," ays Dr. Luther II. Qullck, In tho World's Work, "Is not begun In our officos or nt our desks, but when we are wandering In tho woods or sitting quietly with undirected thoughts. From somewhere at such times there flash Into our minds those Ideas that direct and control our lives, visions ot how to do that which previously had seemed Impossible, now aspirations, aspira-tions, hopes and desires. Work Is tho process ot realization. Tho careful balanco and tho great Ideas come largely during quiet, and without being be-ing sought Tho man who never takes tlmo to do nothing will hardly do great things. Ho will hardly havo epoch making Ideas or stimulating Ideals. Rest Is thus not merely In order to rccupcrato for work. If so, we should rest only whon fatigued. Wo need to do nothing nt times when we aro as well as possible, when our wholo natures are ready for their very finest product Wo need occasionally to leavo them undirected, In order that wo may receive theso messages by wireless from tho unknown. Wo need to have tho Instrument working at Its greatest perfection, bo undirected undirect-ed and receptive." |
