#work

"We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile."

"What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come."

"One measure of your success will be the degree to which you build up others who work with you. While building up others, you will build up yourself."

"Give a bowl of rice to a man and you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to grow his own rice and you will save his life."

"Your environment will eat your goals and plans for breakfast."

"You just have to keep trying to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. Yes, I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things."

"I was always most interested in drawing - most of my childhood drawings are black-and-white line work. And when I kind of abandoned comics, through college and art school, I was doing a lot of painting. But once I started doing comics again, everything else just fell by the wayside."

"The thing that makes 'Dirty Jobs' different is that it's one of the few shows that portrays work in a way that doesn't highlight the drudgery. Instead, it highlights the humor."

"People are roasting each other at parties, at work events, around the fire. It's so fun. People are busting each other's chops, and it's a sign of affection, truly. It's a true test of love and friendship: can you make a man laugh at himself? So what makes a good burn? Go after targets you love and respect. And hit 'em hard."

"I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it."

"Hide not your talents, they for use were made,What's a sundial in the shade?"

"Transparency, honesty, kindness, good stewardship, even humor, work in businesses at all times."

"There is no happily-ever-after to run to. We have to work for happiness."

"We tell them that we believe it will be beautiful because that is our specialty, we only create joy and beauty. We have never done a sad work. Through the drawings, we hope a majority will be able to visualize it."

"Very much, string theory is simply a work in progress. What we are inching toward every day are predictions that within the realm of current technology we hope to test. It's not like we're working on a theory that is permanently beyond experiment. That would be philosophy."

"Dancers are a work of art - they are the canvas on which their work is painted."

"Do not do what you cannot continue to deliver.For, remember, the world wants to see a continuity of delivery of set standards...!"

"I don't want to do anything. I don't even want to start this day because then I'll just be expected to finish it."

"I've come to the point where I never feel the need to stop and evaluate whether or not I am happy. I'm just 'being', and without question, by default, it works."

"The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary."
