Quote by Eden Phillpotts

We always think every other man's job is easier than our own. The better he does it, the easier it looks.


We always think every other man's job is easier than our own

Summary

This quote points out a common human tendency to underestimate the difficulty of other people's jobs. When someone excels at their work and makes it look effortless, we often assume it must be inherently easier than our own tasks. This perception arises from a combination of not fully understanding the intricacies and challenges of the job, as well as our natural inclination to diminish others' achievements to make ourselves feel better. It reminds us to consider that everyone's work requires effort and skill, and we should appreciate and respect the accomplishments of others.
