Quote by Paulo Coelho

Work is a blessing when it helps us to think about what were doing;but it become a curse when its sole use is to stop us thinking about the meaning of our life.

Work is a blessing when it helps us to think about what were

Summary

This quote suggests that work can be one of two things: a blessing or a curse. Work is seen as a blessing when it stimulates our thinking and allows us to reflect on our actions and purpose. However, it becomes a curse when work becomes the sole purpose of our lives, overshadowing the importance of pondering the meaning of our existence. In essence, this quote emphasizes the significance of maintaining a balance between work and contemplation, ensuring that work serves a greater purpose in our lives rather than merely consuming it.

But if you put him in cold water and gradually warm it up until it is scalding hot, you have him cooked before he knows it. The encroachment of bad habits in our lives is very much like this.
