Peeling oranges
Ernest Hemingway, the author of the classic "The Old Man and the Sea," combined moments of tough physical work with periods of complete leisure. Before he sat down to start a new novel, he would spend hours peeling oranges and looking at the fire.
One morning a newspaper reporter noticed this strange habit.
"Don't you feel that you're wasting your time?" asked the reporter. "You're so famous, shouldn't you be doing something more important?"
"I'm getting my soul ready to write, like a fisherman fixes his gear before taking to sea," answered Hemingway. "If he doesn't do that, if he thinks that only the fish matters, he'll never catch anything."
