work and stress

[password147]

Work and life are always full of stress these days. How do you usually deal with your stress? Have you ever thought of doing housework? Do you know doing housework is helpful in dealing with stress? Maybe it seems impossible, but according to some psychologists doing something simple like washing dirty clothes can really make people relaxed.
“Doing simple housework such as washing windows on ironing clothes is a good way to face our stress without takeing any medicine,” says Carol Clark, a successful psychologist in New York. She often advise people who are under lots of stress to try doing housework every day. “While washing something,” she says, “you can imagine you’re washing away something that is troubling you in your life. While ironing clothes, imagine you’re solving some of your problems.”
Do people all agree with her idea? Here is the result of a survey about it.
“Housework is the main reason for the stress in my life,” says Linda who works in a company in France. “As a mother of three, I have too much housework. Get me out of doing the housework and then I”ll really be able to relax.”
Gary is a single father of a seven-month-old baby. He is a doctor who is from Australia. He pays a psychologist $200 an hour for his problem about stress. However, he is just told to go back home and do some housework. I really don’t know who is crazier, the psychologist or the man

We went to visit the famous farmer Monty’s farm last week, and he told us a story.
Once a teacher said to a boy, “This is an impossible dream for you. You come from a poor family. You have no money to buy the land or the best horses. There’s no way you could do it. But if you rewrite this paper, I would like to change your grade.”
The boy went home and thought hard. However, he handed in the same paper the next day. He said, “You can keep the F and I’ll still keep my grade.” “Who was the boy?” Monty continued. “It was me. I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre farm. And two years ago the teacher took 30 students to visit my farm. When he was leaving, he said, ‘look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years, I stole a lot of kid’s dreams. Luckliy, you had enough courag not to give up yours.

It's an excellent post, but among the intellectually inclined—especially the forum-posting type—the virtues of work is not a popular subject, unless they can tie it up with a Heideggerian understanding of dwelling. I'll post a reply later when I have time.
