Many predictions have been made that man will not have
to work in the days that lie ahead.  Yet, we know that work
is a major element of any search for happiness in life.  It
is said that man is meant to work.  You have probably heard
that every man must find a creative outlet for his talents.
Man's failure to find this needed outlet will surely result
in the development of a dull, unproductive mind.  While the
value of work deserves great emphasis, it is also important
to keep in mind the need for a healthy balance between work
and play.  Play, like work, is required for true happiness.
     Very few goals can bring as much satisfaction to one's
life as work done well.  Yet, we know that many people will
make a substantial effort to avoid the very work that could
provide added depth and meaning to their existence.  Thomas
Edison, one of our greatest inventors, said that not one of
his many inventions came by accident, or luck, but that all
of them grew out of hours of hard work.  From a major study
of employed workers, we have been informed that workers who
frequently change jobs do so not from being overworked, but
rather their major complaint was that of being underworked.
