Excerpt from The Arts of Cutting and Shocking Corn and of Educating and Breaking HorsesWe like to feel that we are accomplishing something. However light our work may be be, if we feel that it is tedious and we are not getting much done, we do not find much pleasure in it. But on the other hand however hard the work may be, if we can do that work quickly and skillfully we find pleasure in doing it. The more difficultthe task the more pleasure we find in it, when we can do it with skill. Skill in any work takes away to a great extent the unpleasantness of that work. If our skill gives us a speed in doing that work which makes it but play for us to lead one, who formerly lead us, even when putting forth our best efforts, the work not only loses its unpleasantness, but we find in it a keen delight. The author can well remember when he looked upon corn cutting as a very unpleasant task. But when'he had recognized the principles involved, and had formulated this system, which reduces corn cutting to an art, it was no longer an unpleasant task, but a delight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
