“I remember this very, very vividly in one particular case where an individual had demonstrated to everybody that painting was very hard work. And very shortly thereafter he stopped painting—it was too exhausting.
“I processed him and I just got him out of this and we just changed the definition of painting. And we had the awfullest time doing it, because all of his relatives kept coming up to him, although he was making a great deal of money painting, they kept walking up to him and telling him how he really played all the time and he wasn’t serious about anything, you know? And therefore it had to be work.
“We had to get all those agreements out of the road before this fellow could relax and again consider that painting was play. At which moment this individual started to paint to such a degree that I think stock in Sherwin-Williams* increased a couple of points.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
