Though I have a body that had languished under great weaknesses for many years, and my diseases have been such as require as much exercise as almost any in the world, and I have found exercise the principal means of my preservation till now, and, therefore, have as great reason to plead for it as any man that I know, yet I have found that the foresaid proportion hath been blessed to my preservation, though I know that much more had been like to have tended to my greater health. Indeed, I do not know one minister in a hundred that needs so much exercise as myself. Yea, I know abundance of ministers, that scarce ever use any exercise at all, though I commend them not in this. I doubt not but it is our duty to use so much exercise as is necessary for the preservation of our health, so far as our work requires; otherwise, we should, for one day’s work, lose the opportunity of many. But this may be done, and yet the work that we are engaged in, be done too.

I worked at a company which decided to have an Employee Suggestion
Competition. I told my department that they were probably looking for
ways of saving money.

One fellow submitted a suggestion that they post announcements on the
dozen bulletin boards instead of printing 200 memos and distributing
them to everyone.

He won, got a helium balloon with the company logo, one share of stock,
and, yes, a memo announcing it went out to two hundred people.
