“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
–Anne Frank (1929–1945)
Dutch diarist
Sales mind…
"Work is born in us. We take to it kindly or unkindly. The terms may be easy or harsh, but the contract is binding."
Studs Terkel (1912-2008)
American writer, journalist, broadcaster
Pulitzer Prize winner
Everything begins with our attitude toward our work – to how we contribute. We should be sure to guard and nurture that attitude.
Terkel’s bestselling book Working was published 35 years ago as an oral history of "people talking about what they do all day and how they feel about what they do".
Outside the money hours, enjoy 9 minutes of audio from NPR (you can download it for a run too) – the story around the book and actual recordings from a few of Terkel’s interviews for the book. Particularly heartwarming: Delores the waitress (at minute 2), Terry the newspaper boy (at minute 3.5) and Therese "just a housewife" (at minute 7).
