 Why you are stronger than a machine is not to say you can lift more than a crane or pick up cars but to give you a different look at how powerful the body really is.  So let’s get to it.

One of the reasons you are stronger than a machine is that you are self-healing.  When you are cut or something, your body begins to heal itself immediately.  Thats why you get scabs.

On the other hand a machine can only be fixed by someone else.  Once your car breaks down it does not start fixing itself.  It sits there until you take it to a mechanic.

Another reason you are is because as you work your body more, the stronger it gets.  When you workout, your body breaks down and comes back stronger than before.

I can hear you saying right now that when you get older your body breaks down too.  This is true, however if you continue to work your body it retains strength just at a lower level.  For example, have you seen a sixty year old who is fit seem like they are thirty years old.  Alot of that has to do with the fact that there body is strong so it breaks down at a much slower rate than someone who has a weak body.

Now when you work a machine continuously it will begin to depreciate in value because it is wearing down. That is why accounting allows for the depreciation of machines. A good example would be a car. As soon as you drive a car off the lot it loses nearly half of its value and as you continue to drive it it becomes less and less valuable.

I have yet to se any worker depreciated because they have experience, which is basicly work or for the sake of this article, wear and tear on the employee. They actually become more valuable.

The moral of the story is to work your body and mind because they get stronger with use.
