I sat in a presentation which laid out the Baby Boom generation as a worth = work generation. The Gen Xers and Yers around me fell into a worth = life philosophy. Get the work done, then get on with the things that inspire!
Regardless of our birth date, we might put some validity behind Captain Abrashoff's observation:
"We are now permanently wired to our work, wherever we are. Even on vacation, we're tethered to pagers, cell phones, and laptops, so we can log in from the beach. This is okay, in moderation. In excess, it eats away at the inner reservior of spirit that people need to draw on when life gets tough."
With so little in our control beyond our attitude, we may find better health if we train ourselves that resting quietly is one of life's health remedies, and not the stain of slothfulness that some would have us believe.
