The Way to Work

September 5, 2008

In order to start turning the cogwheels of your work,

You need willpower

You need courage

You require great effort

However,

Work shouldn’t continue that way

First, acquire the power of habit

Next, learn the method to work mechanically

Then, you will be able to achieve great results with ease

And sometimes,

Make sure to relax your mind and body

And wait until you regain your energy

You will also need

New experiences

And knowledge on unfamiliar subjects

When something is accomplished with inspiration

People consider it a work of genius

However, inspiration will not come down to you

If you are lazy

Heaven offers full support to

Those who make steady efforts

Those who have built good habits

And gained the ability to work mechanically

( Puisi Ryuho Okawa)
