   Perhaps so.  I might even consider how good it is for my own mental   
   health at times.  Beating one's head against a brick wall can have

   "One should guard against preaching to young people success   
   in the customary form as the main aim in life.  The most   
   important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure   
   in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the   
   value of the result to the rest of the community."
