Summary

This quote suggests that it is more beneficial to give someone challenging work that exceeds their current abilities, rather than simply providing them with education or training to help them become better than their current role or responsibilities. By giving individuals tasks that are difficult and require them to stretch their limits, they are more likely to develop their skills and abilities. In contrast, focusing solely on educating someone to be better than their existing work may limit their growth and potential for personal development.

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd,I stand and look at them long and long.They do not sweat and whine about their condition,They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.
