Swing
hard, in case they throw the ball where you're
swinging.

Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion
which brings out all the powers of body and mind is
the best thing for us all; but practically most
people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a
general rule nobody does much more than
circumstances drive them to do.

When
you do something, you should burn yourself up
completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of
yourself.
-- Shunryu Suzuki
Japanese Zen Master
The
only method by which people can be supported is out
of the effort of those who are earning their own
way. We must not create a deterrent to hard work.
