[Quote No.59871] Need Area: Work > General
"Every now and then, go away, take a little relaxation, because when you come back to your work, your judgment will be surer. To remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgment. Go some distance away, because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen." - Leonardo da Vinci

[Quote No.60133] Need Area: Work > General
"[Vocation and career:] The very worst use of life is to spend your years scrambling up the ladder of success only to find that it is leaning against the wrong building. We cannot know which direction to move in toward greater success and fulfillment if we are unclear what our purpose in life is. We must discover which building best suits us before we embark on the climb. Otherwise, it's just a whole lot of ladder climbing and very little fulfillment.
Your job is to find your 'heart's desire.' Your job is to think it through and decide what you believe in and what you stand for and then to select an activity or area of endeavor that is completely congruent with the very best that is within you." - Brian Tracy

[Quote No.60191] Need Area: Work > General
"[Vocation and career: it's important to find something you can enjoy:]
Happiness is a mindset for your journey, not the result of your destination.
...Waiting to be happy limits our brain's potential for success, whereas cultivating positive brains makes us more motivated, efficient, resilient, creative, and productive, which drives performance upward.
...We become more successful when we are happier and more positive.
...Your brain at positive is 31% more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.
...Most people keep waiting on happiness, putting off happiness until they're successful or until they achieve some goal, which means we limit both happiness and success. That formula doesn't work." - Shawn Achor

[Quote No.60418] Need Area: Work > General
"[Vocation and career:] ...success in the modern economy will generally only go to those who can bring extraordinary dedication and imagination to their labours – and this is only possible when one is, to a large extent, having fun (a state quite compatible with being exhausted and grumpy most of the time). Only when we are intrinsically motivated are we capable of generating the very high levels of energy and brainpower necessary to shine out amidst the competition. Work turned out merely out of duty quickly shows up as limp and lacking next to that done out of love.
The other thing that happens when our work is informed by our own sense of pleasure is that we get more insightful about the pleasures of others – that is, of the clients and customers a business relies upon. We can best please our audiences when we have mobilised our own feelings of enjoyment.
In other words, pleasure isn't the opposite of work; it's a key ingredient of successful work.
Yet we have to recognise that asking ourselves what we might really want to do – without any immediate or primary consideration for money or reputation – goes against our every, educationally-embedded assumption about what could possibly keep us safe – and is therefore rather scary. It takes immense insight and maturity to stick with the truth: that we will best serve others – and can make our own greatest contribution to society – when we bring the most imaginative and most authentically personal sides of our nature into our work. Duty can guarantee us a basic income. Only sincere, pleasure-led work can generate sizeable success." - www.thebookoflife.org

[Quote No.60468] Need Area: Work > General
"[Vocation and career: follow your passion:] An amazing thing happens when you get honest with yourself and start doing what you love, what makes you happy. Your life literally slows down. You stop wishing for the weekend. You stop merely looking forward to special events. You begin to live in each moment and you start feeling like a human being. You just ride the wave that is life, with this feeling of contentment and joy. You move fluidly, steadily, calm and grateful. A veil is lifted, and a whole new perspective is born." - Anon

[Quote No.60682] Need Area: Work > General
"Though freedom and wealth are both good things which most of us desire and though we often need both to obtain what we wish, they still remain different. Whether or not I am my own master and can follow my own choice and whether the possibilities from which I must choose are many or few are two entirely different questions. The courtier [business-person, employee] living in the lap of luxury but at the beck and call of his prince [investor or customer, employer or customer] may be much less free than a poor peasant or artisan, less able to live his own life and to choose his own opportunities for usefulness!" - Friedrich A. Hayek

"[Vocation and career:] When tested in national surveys against such seemingly crucial factors as intelligence, ability, and salary, level of motivation proves to be a more significant component in predicting career success. While level of motivation is highly correlated with success, importantly, the source of motivation varies greatly among individuals and is unrelated to success. [Bashaw and Grant 1994]" - David Niven, PhD

"Our philosophy about activity and our attitude about hard work will affect the quality of our lives. What we decide about the rightful ratio of labor to rest will establish a certain work ethic.

[Quote No.61190] Need Area: Work > General
"[Vocation and career:] I define happiness as 'the overall experience of pleasure and meaning.' A happy person enjoys positive emotions while perceiving her life as purposeful. The definition does not pertain to a single moment but to a generalized aggregate of one's experiences: a person can endure emotional pain at times and still be happy overall.
... Attaining lasting happiness requires that we enjoy the journey on our way toward a destination we deem valuable. Happiness is not about making it to the peak of the mountain nor is it about climbing aimlessly around the mountain; happiness is the experience of climbing toward the peak." - Tal Ben-Shahar
from his 2007 book, 'Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment'.
