WORK ETHIC BEGINS AT HOME

Monday, Dec. 23, 2019
 
 
Motivation and inspiration float through air – like microwaves, can’t see or hear them unless we are tuned-in and have our volume adjusted. As the work year nears its end, some thoughts to share:
 
 
 
“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work, one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
“Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it.” – Buddha
 
“There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time.” ―  Coco Chanel
 
“The caterpillar does all the work, but the butterfly gets all the publicity.” ―  George Carlin
 
“A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor.” ―  Victor Hugo
 
“Don't mistake activity with achievement.” ―  John Wooden
 
“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.” ―  Émile Zola
 
“If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old.” ―  Peter Drucker
 
Work Ethic Begins At Home
… waking, walking, writing, workweek begins …
