Work and Study

The famous Slominski, a famous astronomer, lived in great poverty.  One day he sat absorbed in a thought trying to discover a new planet.
"What are you trying to do, my husband?  I need money to buy food!"
"Be patient.  Soon I will make a discovery that will improve our condition."
"Yes,'"said his wife.  "It is much easier to find a star in the than a ruble on the earth."

The Mishna clearly teaches us,“Rabban Gamliel, son of Rabbi Yehudah the Prince said: Study Torah  together with a worldly occupation."
