　　Hadfield, says,

　　“The greater

　　part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.

　　In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.”

　　Dr. Brill,

　　a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”

　　What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated－those

　　are

　　the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
