Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, DO IT WITH THY MIGHT!"
"If a man does not have a full time job, he has a full time job looking for a job!"
Men, if work is hard to find, do not give up. Look Harder. In hard times, it is often more difficult to find real hard working men that to find a decent job to work hard at. There are too many ordinary men that are barely average in their work ethic.
Manliness is best expressed by an extraordinary work ethic. Men who go far beyond what is normally expected are rare indeed. Men who put their shoulder to the task, who roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. These are the men who make themselves indispensible. They are the last ones to be laid off, and the first to be re-hired.
Men who work really hard are always respected and admired for what they do. One does not have to be doing manual work to as it were "roll up your sleeves" for all work requires it.
I have also noticed that hard working men are rarely overweight, but usually lean and sinuous because of their vitality. No dragging the chain here! No slouching. No mooching. Let's get the job done! They don't have time to get soft and flabby. Who wants to hire soft, overweight men?
Be encouraged.
