It is rightly said that an idle man’s brain is the devil’s workshop. A man who is lazy can achieve nothing in life. The story of the ant and the cricket is well-known. The cricket had lain by nothing for winter.
When he went for help and advice to the ant, she asked him,’ What did you do in summer?’ He replied; ‘I kept singing during summer.’ Then ‘ he ant retorted ‘now, dance winter away. An idle man is always thinking of something mischievous and destructive. Those who are shirkers, become dullards and these dullards mostly end as dropouts and then as they grow up, they become thieves, pickpockets, burglars and even murderers.
Our mind is like a constantly running stream. It cannot be controlled easily. The best way out is to keep it busy and direct it to some constructive work. A man, who is always busy, has no time to think of anything wrong. He kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he- keeps himself safe from going on any wrong path and on the other hand, he ultimately reaps the fruit of his hard work.
