Greatest Bliss Is Congenial Work.

There is no greater happiness in life than doing the work you love. It matters not what the work is—to some women it is embroidery, or writing a book, or baby tending, or studying chemistry, or cooking, or keeping a house polished. It does not always happen that we have great abiUty In the thing we enjoy doing—although the chances are that this is so. For nothing stimulates you to continued effort in a piece of work more than the consciousness that you do it weU. And so if you are unhappy—genuinely unhappy—in the work you’re doing, try to find out what it is that you’d prefer to do. If there is nothing else In your mind, then perhaps your discontent is only temporary. But if you sincerely wish to do some other definite piece of work, you have a legitimate grievance and you owe it to yourself to pave the way for a new shot at -a new occupation.
