Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure. I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. What we do matters to us. Work may not be the most important thing in our lives or the only thing. We may work because we must, but we still want to love, to feel pride in, to respect ourselves for what we do and to make a difference. Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and there must be system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.
