FOR WHAT
IT'S WORTH
By Clifford Rowe
I have always w ondered why
anyone should ever have been
taken in by that old say mg “Early
to bed and early to rise m akes a
man healthy, w ealthy and wise".
As far as 1 am personaliy con
cerned, I have alw ays ^<-en a
trifle dubious as to th e genuine
sincerity of the author, whoever
he was. 1 have alw ays had a
sneaking hunch that he was laugh
mg up his sleeve all th e tim e; for
it seems to me that all the people
J know' who are healthy, w ealthy
and wise have burned plenty of
m idnight oil in their time.
And then, of course, there was
th e oth* r one which advocated
early 1t mi’, “The e .o !.
Im d
catches the w orm ’’--w h ic h seem:
to encourage dow nright discrim i
nation between birds and worms.
Now it had always been my be
lief th a t in the scheme of things,
birds and worms were created
equal and th a t n eith er w'as en
titled to any preference over the
other. But still, according to thi.-»
proverb, getting up early will be
OK for the bird, but the worm
would have been b etter of to have
stayed snug in bed.
But I guess the one th a t really
gives me most concern or at leas
causes me to have th e guiltiest
feelings is th at which insists th a t
one "hould “ never put off until
tom orrow th a t w’hich can be done
today"
Somehow, although
1
given th idea a fair break on
several occasions, I still fail to
see w herein one derives any p r
titu la r benefit.
