LESSON 22

Job Hunting

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

We pretend to work because they pretend to pay us.

Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.

The best time to start thinking about your retirement is before the boss does.

The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.
