Fictional Saturday-Enjoying Work

"Do you ever envision yourself reaching a point where you're intrinsically satisfied with the work that you're doing? Where you're no longer working to get ahead, but simply because you enjoy it?" as quoted by Elyse Keaton, the mother on the show Family Ties, popular television series in the 80s. This quote is from one of the first season episodes titled "Death of a Grocer" when Alex quits his job at a small grocer for the big time and end up going back to the smaller store.

I found this quote so great and so defining for my work. I love my job and what I do. If all I made was just enough for a roof over my head and food, I would be greatly please with it. I don't know that many people could say that.

Lefty Tuesday-Henry Ford

"The high wage begins down in the shop. If it is not created there it cannot get into pay envelopes. There will never be a system invented which will do away with the necessity for work." as quoted by Henry Ford, great American inventor.

Who else today?

"If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well." As quoted by Martin Luther King, Jr.
