It seems like Order, Resolution, and Industry overlap or sound very similar. I wonder how Franklin and other people differentiate between those 3 when trying to make marks at the end of the day.

And yet it provides me with some satisfaction and fulfillment because I recognize its value and that I am paid fairly for the work I actually do. Recognition of those two aspects of <i>any</i> job, when they exist, can make it much more tolerable. My job is pretty menial, and I am highly intelligent.

Oftentimes I crave a break from work, and when it finally comes, the first week of relaxation is fantastic. The second week is also enjoyable, but after that it gets a bit old and boring; I start to feel antsy and once more want to be engaged in doing something useful. By being industrious, when you actually get a break, it feels fantastic. You can't have the sweet without the bitter." Could not agree more. Earlier this year, I had a serious surgery, and I was looking forward to the leisure time during recuperation. Well, after two weeks, I was stir-crazy. I didn't just WANT to get back to work, I NEEDED to. I was on logged onto my computer remotely all day, answering e-mails and writing documents when I should have been on my back, resting. When I got a fever the next week and had to miss two more days, I was so angry! It taught me a great lesson about idleness and the accompanied feelings of inadequacy and uselessness. “1.
