Remark on Proverbs
Job Stress
1. Work while you work, play while you
play. 2. All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy. 3. Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today. 4. Grasp all, lose all. …
Remark on Proverbs
Sample Remark
Make a list of some proverbs on work. Then make a few remarks on one of them.
The proverb “Work while you work, play while you
play” is applicable to everyone of any profession.
When we do something, we should not think or worry
about anything else. When our mind is concentrated
on one particular thing, it will surely yield good
results. With constant repetition of a daily program,
we can go on with our regular work without any
difficulties.
Sample Remark
Moreover, one cannot work all day long. Play is as
necessary to everybody as work. Play can make one
fresh and cheerful so that one may not be sick of his
work. I think this proverb is also a good motto for us
students.
Job Stress
Stress is another factor that can lead to illness. It’s
not that stress causes a cold or causes a flu per se,
but it can lower your body’s resistance by
depressing the immune system. For many, a major
source of daily stress is their jobs, and stress levels
can be particularly high in a big city emergency
room, like this one. And unfortunately, catching a
cold is the least of a stressed-out worker’s worries.

A Poem—A Poem—Think It Think It OverOver
Now we have more possessions,more fun and more excitementthan we used to. But do we really enjoy happiness? Listen to the poem and think it over.
Think It Over…• Today we have higher buildings and wider
highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;
• We spend more, but enjoy less;• We have bigger houses, but smaller families;• We have more compromises, but less time;• We have more knowledge, but less judgment;
• We have more medicines, but less health;
• We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values;
• We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much;
• We reached the Moon and came back, but we found it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;
• We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space;
• We have higher income, but less morals;• These are times with more liberty, but less
joy;• We have much more food, but less nutrition;• These are the days in which it takes two
salaries for each home, but divorces increase;• These are times of finer houses, but more
broken homes;• That’s why I propose, that as of today:
• You do not keep anything for a special occasion because every day that you live is a special occasion;
• Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs;
• Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love;
• Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival;
• Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it.
• Remove your vocabulary phrases like “one of these days” or “someday”;
• Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days”!
• Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them;
• Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;
• Every day, every hour, and every minute is special;
• And you don’t know if it will be your last. The End

For three years, Louis played with Fate Marable’s band on a Mississippi riverboat. There he wrote songs and learned the
In 1925 Armstrong returned to Chicago where he recorded a series of jazz classics with his “Hot Five” and “Hot Seven” bands. These recordings soon earned him a worldwide reputation and a position as the unchallenged
