Quotes about Workers

my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing.

A working definition of Honor is,
"respect or esteem that has been earned."
Contemplate that for a moment.
It would be very special to earn the respect and esteem
of our family, our friends, our co-workers, our community, wouldn't it?
If anything, it is of even more moment to honor yourself.
Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.

Forgive everyone. Choose to release all regrets.

Release your regrets if you choose

acquaintances, and others who share your life.

not necessarily those who agree with you,
but those who respect your right to your point of view.

If you don't enjoy your career,

look for small joys at work each day,
perhaps in your interactions with customers and co-workers.
