  • Notes: "... First, never make the money return you get for your work the measure of your interest in the work or the amount of service you give. A man who only does what he is paid for doing very soon loses his position. Second, don't wait to be told what to do in life... Promptness, willingness and an interest in what you are doing will carry a man further than anything I know of. For your life work, make it your business to find some occupation that you have a genuine love for... Finally, no matter what you do, remember that work that is good enough is rotten..."
