That is such a wonderful saying:

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

What has happened to the work ethic? what has happened to the joy in accomplishment?

Ummm. getting censured after hoo-rahing (out loud) about doing well after a particular fiddly bit will certainly make most folks not be so out-loud about it.

Cops showing up because of your war dance because of your Stirling engine that you machined and it actually ran...

Well, that's inhibiting. For some folks.

Me? Not so much. Work at it, and you can get the cops to hoo-rah with you. And stay out of jail. (that's important)
