All work is the avoidance of harder work.

James Richardson
About This Quote

There are people who make this statement in reference to hobbies, sports, or in reference to work in general. The basic message here is that when you do something that isn’t difficult, it makes you feel like you’re avoiding doing something that is difficult. There are no shortcuts in life. All the people who say that all work is the avoidance of harder work don’t understand that there are all types of work, ranging from hard to easy.
