People who engage in work that they love best do not always have the support, in this choice of the people closest to them.
Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
-Harvey Mackay
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, til it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
-Harriet Beecher Stowe
"No man is a failure who creates a single idea, much less an entire philosophy that serves to soften the disappointments and minimize the hardships of generations yet unborn"
There are many sound reasons why you should develop the habit of performing more and better service that that for which you are paid.
Two reasons, which transcends all others in their importance
First, by establishing a reputation as being a person who does this, you will benefit by comparison with those around you benefit by comparison with those around you who do not render such service, and the contrast will be so noticeable that there will be keen competition for your services, no matter what your life's work may be.
Second, and by far the most important reason is basic and fundamental in nature. Suppose that you wished to develop a strong right arm, and suppose that you tried to do so by tying your arm to your side to give it a long rest. Would disuse bring strength or would it bring atrophy and weakness?
You know that if you wanted a strong right arm you would develop it only by exercising and working it harder. Out of resistance comes strength. The strongest tree in the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun, but the one that stands in the open, where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and scorching sun.
The purpose of this lesson is to show you how to harness this law of nature that struggle and resistance develop strength and use it to aid you in your struggle for success.
By performing the habit of doing more than paid for, you will eventually develop sufficient strength to enable you to remove yourself from any undesirable station in life, and no one can or will desire to stop you.
If your employer should be so unfortunate as to try to pay you less than you are worth, that won't last long; Other employers will discover your unusual quality and offer you employment.
The very fact that most people are rendering as little service as they can possibly get by with serves as an advantage to those who are rendering more service.
You can "get by" if you render as little service as possible, but that is all you will get; and when work is slack and retrenchment sets in, you will be one of the first to be dismissed.
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual, and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
-Booker T. Washington
Those who do observe this principle are rewarded with a greater material gain than those who do not. They also gain happiness and satisfaction that comes only to those who render such service. If you receive no pay except that which comes in your pay envelope, you are underpaid, no matter how much money that envelope contains.
Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
