Hard work never killed...

"Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?"
- A quote attributed to various people.

This quote always comes across as a joke on the lazy type.
Whoever dared to think there was something wrong
with working hard, was instantly forced to think of himself
as someone making up excuses.

But the fact is, that hard work actually kills people.
And not only the blue collar people(working hard
physically), but also the white collar ones.

Have a look at this about what has happened/is happening in Japan :

"...during the Bubble Economy, however, when several high-ranking business executives who were still in their prime years suddenly died without any previous sign of illness, that the media began picking up on what appeared to be a new phenomenon."

So next time you want to work hard, think hard :-)
