You would be a great wood chopper Helen. Its a little bit of a work harder quote this one and not really very inspiring seeing as Henry Ford introduced the factory line, and probably contributed to making peoples working lives mundane.

Being that the head monk of this monastery in Amnye Machen is probably overseeing the contruction, hopefully he is more compassionate than Henry Ford in dispensing rewards for labour.

The man was definitely an inspiration.
