首先，作为防止无聊的手段，工作是可取的。因为与终日无所事事百无聊赖相比，无聊就算不了什么了。
WORK IS DESIRABLE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, AS A PREVENTIVE OF BOREDOM, FOR THE BOREDOM THAT A MAN FEELS WHEN HE IS DOING NECESSARY THOUGH UNINTERESTING WORK IS AS NOTHING IN COMPARISON WITH THE BOREDOM THAT HE FEELS WHEN HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS DAYS.
