Some things regarding work are on my mind. However, they were on the minds of famous people first:
Mark Twain said: "Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain."
Winston Churchill said: "Never, never, never, never give up." [He also said "Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.", which I like and only just discovered while verifying the first one.]
Gloria Steinham said: "I think the best job is often one that doesn't exist until you create it. The best career is one that you carve out for yourself."
I'm working on a personal goal right now regarding persistence and the long view. These three ideas sustain me in moments of irritation or impatience.
Another note on persistence...while I understand that Hilary Clinton is not always a crowd favorite, I have now read several separate profiles on her that have left a strong impression on me. For a dose of inspiration in the current daily grind, read about her schedule and methods: Vanity Fair June 2011: Woman of the World. I'm still on hunt for the links to the other articles.
Happy Friday.
