Don't work too hard . . .

I stopped to get fuel this morning at my regular place.  I always get the fuel first then get a cup of cappuccino (half french vanilla and half hot-chocolate with a shot of real coffee).  As I'm checking out, the clerk, a nice young man who works hard at being personable, says to me on the way out the door, "Don't work too hard."

I know I've said those same words myself but for some reason they've stuck in my head and I've turned them over and over all day.  I've come to the conclusion that that is NOT the reputation which I want to cultivate, nor is it the lifestyle I choose to live. 

Say instead, "Work hard, give it all you've got, and be proud of what you've accomplished."

Just sayin'
