LABOUR
Labour means different things to many people. To most men and women it means pain or gain. Some think of it as torture while to others it is the path to success. Employees think of work input, while employers think of work output. Famers think of it as sweat. Factory workers think of the union, while managers think in terms of manpower. The Government thinks of tax, while the people think of income. To understand labour we need to think of its purpose.
The keys to wealth are labour and creativity. To create wealth you need labour. The two go together, but you can tell them apart. You can increase wealth by either or both. To increase labour means to do more of the same. To increase creativity means to do less of the same.
Labour uses land to create wealth. You can use your hands to get a good yield. But there is a limit to how much you will get in the field. But you can apply your head to multiply that yield. And if you will do well, then you must do it with all your heart. A job is where most people start. Labour is much more than work; it is a matter of your hands, head and heart.
Many people toil on jobs for a long time and fail to create wealth for the family. They produce no more than their hands allow. The labour that produces wealth is the labour of hands, head and heart.
