Would I let the grasshopper die?

Poor ol' grasshopper, he got a pretty bad rap. That ant was pretty intolerant. Sometimes the grasshoppers are the ones who know how to have fun, and that's worth a few grains of wheat.

When we were teaching our kids about work ethic, we told them that the most important thing was to show up everyday on time. I've seen a few fellow workers who weren't much on form or style, but as long as they could be depended on to be at work when they were supposed to be, they had fulfilled 99% of what was required of them. An excellent job can't be performed by a worker who is not present, no matter how talented they are.
