"[Motivation, vocation and career:] A philosopher once told of a passerby watching three stonemasons. He asked the first mason, who scowled as he worked, 'What are you doing?' and he answered, 'Chipping stone.' He then questioned the second mason,who appeared a little bored, and he answered,'Building a wall.' The philosopher then asked the third mason, who smiled peacefully to himself as he worked and he replied,'I'm building a cathedral.' " - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

"… a garden, in which one can work… and grow with the seasons…A Gardener! Isn’t that the perfect description of what a real businessman is? A person who makes a flinty soil productive with the labor of his hands, who waters it with the sweat of his brow, and who creates a place of value for his family and the community…A productive businessman is indeed a laborer in his own vineyard!

[Quote No.657] Need Area: Work > General
"...we have every advantage to gain by conceiving of work as a means for the building of man, as a channel for the expression of mind and soul. To work, guided by the principles of Karma Yoga, is to build and develop the man, both in mind and personality, and at the same time produce greater and greater results for the individual, in the outer world. Partaking of a larger consciousness, the worker becomes more successful in the world of achievement, and through that achievement develops his own latent greatness.

[Quote No.661] Need Area: Work > General
"In fact every action applied in useful work of any kind can increase the power and the ability of the worker. Again, the secret lies in attitude, for the channel of enrichment and growth opens only when the worker opens his mind to joy, enthusiasm and creative optimism.
Of course, this new approach cannot be mastered overnight, particularly if one has always looked upon work as nothing but boresome drudgery. But if even small efforts are made every day, eventually it will become easier and easier, and just as muscles that are sore at the beginning of a new exercise grow stronger and more powerful with time, so the new attitude toward work cannot help but develop eventually into a permanently healthy outlook.

"A sage was once asked to draw up an agreement between two men who desired to work together. He wrote ABCD on a sheet of paper and handed it to them explaining: 'The 'A' stands for Agreement and the 'B' for Blessing, because if there is agreement, there will be blessing. The 'C' stands for Connivance and the 'D' for Disaster, because if there is connivance, there will be disaster." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com
