Question

7．When I was 12，I got a part-time job on a dairy farm，milking cows．We milked 65 cows twice a day．One day，I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows，saying it was tiring．He said，you know，boy，to work is a blessing．I looked at the men who'd worked harder．I had a feeling I had been told something really important，but it took many years before it sank in．
 Back then，going to college was a rare privilege．My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing，I'd always look forward to my work．But he also added，even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all．I wanted to be a farmer，but I joined a military program to help pay for college．And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I had been devoted to for 37 years．
In the late 1980s，during a visit to Bangladesh，I saw a woman with her baby on her back，breaking bricks with a hammer．I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier．He told me a machine would put that lady out of work．And as bad as that woman's job was，it was enough to keep a small family alive．It reminded me of my father's words：to work is a blessing．
 After seeing a lot of people like that woman in Bangladesh，I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free．They're victims of crime，poor health，and depression．People who have jobs can have a home，send their kids to school，develop a sense of pride，contribute to the good of the community and even help others．When we can work，we are free．We are blessed．
