Abstract
Henry David Thoreau’s 1 frequently quoted insight “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation,” and Oliver Wendell Holmes’2 similar observation, “Alas for those that never sing, but die with their music still in them,” reflect the awareness they both had about humankind’s plight. Thoreau’s and Holmes’ awareness of life’s desperate and un-empowered beings reminds us that life is not always rewarding and stimulating, not just in their world, but in ours as well, including our workplaces.
