Pleasure in the job	puts perfection in the work.
Our work is the presentation	of our capabilities.
Never put off till tomorrow	what you can do today.
A job done well	stays well done forever.
No bees, no honey;	no work, no money.
The only job where you start at the top	is digging a hole.
Do your job and demand your compensation….	but in that order.
The future depends on	what we do in the present.
People rarely succeed unless	they have fun in what they are doing.
Choose a job you love	and you will never have to work a day in your life.
The person who knows how……. will always have a job,	but the person who knows why….. will be the boss.
When people go to work, they shouldn’t	have to leave their hearts at home.
