          When one feels sufficiently inspired to perform a
        
        
          task, one undertakes it at all costs, even on one’s
        
        
          deathbed, and even when one’s external
        
        
          circumstances are totally adverse. It is one’s will
        
        
          and one’s motivation to work which are of prime
        
        
          importance. Health and strength are secondary.
