What Whoever Said:
“It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.”
–Benjamin Franklin
What I Say:
Well, Benjamin Franklin was a pretty hardworking man, being an American forefather and diplomat to France and all. His words remind me of the story about the grasshopper and the ants. I'm sure you've heard it, but I'll quickly summarize on the off chance you haven't. So, all spring, summer, and fall, the grasshopper shortsightedly played games, music, etc. The smart ants, however, dutifully stored food for the winter. When the harsh winter rolled in, the grasshopper was cold, starving, and generally miserable, but the ants were safe, warm, and happy. Ben could be referring to many other things, though. For example, someone who can't find work and is forced to be idle because of unemployment is obviously not happy. Similarly, those who procrastinate on an inhumanely large, school project end up miserable. That I sadly know from experience. You should really listen to Ben Franklin . . .
