亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
Farming in the old style is rapidly fading into a picturesque memory. This does not mean that work is going to remove from the farm. Work cannot be removed from any life that is productive. But power-farming does mean this--drudgery is going to be removed from the farm. Power-farming is simply taking the burden from flesh and blood and putting it on steel. We are in the opening years of power-farming. The motor car wrought a revolution in modern farm life, not because it was a vehicle, but because it had power. Farming ought to be something more than a rural occupation. It ought to be the business of raising food. And when it does become a business the actual work of farming the average sort of farm can be done in twenty-four days a year. The other days can be given over to other kinds of business. Farming is too seasonal an occupation to engage all of a man's time.

白话
福特说,旧式农耕正在迅速变成一种怀旧的记忆。这并不意味着农场不再需要劳动,任何生产性生活都离不开劳动。但动力农耕意味着:繁重的苦活将从农场消失。动力农耕就是把负担从血肉之躯转移到钢铁上。我们正处在动力农耕的开端。汽车之所以给现代农场生活带来革命,不是因为它是交通工具,而是因为它有动力。农耕应该不止是一种乡村职业,而应该成为生产食物的生意。当它成为生意时,普通农场一年的实际耕作可以在24天内完成,其余时间可以从事其他生意。农业季节性太强,不该占满一个人所有的时间。
上下文
福特在自传中展望农业机械化,认为农业应成为高效的食品生意,而非全时苦力。
今日一问
你的工作是否也被季节性或其他因素限制,能否通过工具或模式创新释放时间?
