“Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom, psychological conflict, and disease. They do not die of hard work.”
-David Ogilvy (from Confessions of an Advertising Man, 1963)
- derleth 13y agoNonsense. If you do more work than you take in calories, you will eventually die of that work. If you work through injury, the injury will get worse and may well kill you.
