Work

"There is no easy pathway to success. There are many rugged roads to straighten and walls to scale for the ultimate victory."

"You must work hard to get what you want."

"You have to work harder to achieve your goals"

"As long as high schools strive to list the number of Ivy League schools their graduates attend and teachers pile on work without being trained to identify stress-related symptoms, I fear for our children’s health. I am not mollified by the alums of my daughter’s school who return to tell everyone that the rigor of high school prepared them for college, making their first year easier than they’d anticipated. If they make it that far."

"When you are unemployed, weekends are seven days long."

"Whatever you want, work for it."

"Wherever you work, work hard and educate yourself continuously. You must never forget social welfare, ethics and honesty. However, there is no guarantee for your career progression. Therefore, don't expect that only the best people will be promoted."

"But if I'm useless only because I haven't been properly educated, is that my fault?"

"The greatest innovators and history makers of our world were not great because of the formal school system but because of self-development through the proper investment and conversation of time."

"I don't tell you this story today in order to encourage all of you in the class of '04 to find careers in the music business, but rather to suggest what the next decade of your lives is likely to be about, and that is, trying to ensure that you don't wake up at 32 or 35 or 40 tenured to a life that happened to you when you weren't paying strict attention, either because the money was good, or it made your parents proud, or because you were unlucky enough to discover an aptitude for the very thing that bores you to tears, or for any of the other semi-valid reasons people marshal to justify allowing the true passion of their lives to leak away. If you're lucky, you may have more than one chance to get things right, but second and third chances, like second and third marriages, can be dicey propositions, and they don't come with guarantees... The question then is this: How does a person keep from living the wrong life?"

"We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks."

"My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education."

"Sometimes I feel proud of myself, not because of any success I’ve achieved, but because I’m aware of all the difficulties that I have suffered or went through. I’m an eyewitness at all the fear, weakness, frustration, failure, depression, refraction and bad luck moments that I’ve been through alone and which affected significantly but never was able to beat me for so long. This is why I’m proud, because I’m here now stronger that yesterday, I'm still able to stand and continue on my way, still following up my dreams, still trying my best to build better future for me and my family and I will never ever give up!"

"All the so-called "secrets of success" will not work unless you do."

"Hard work works harder than luck!"

"Hard world is a prison sentence only if it does not have meaning."

"Each day wake up and ask yourself what will make you feel most alive that day."
