Question

Why did Mr Selfridge denounce the author's (On Doing Nothing ) state of idleness ? What was his viewpoint?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Selfridge denounced the author on doing nothing because he observed that Mr.Gordon Self ridge was one of those people who would never waste time. He had a habit of not wasting time because he was a man who was a clear cut example of a person working for the sake of profit.

That was the one true motive which drove him towards hating to waste time.

These are those sort of people who miss out on important moments in life due to being profit minded.

The author did not approve of such idleness.
