As busy as I claim to be, I've still got the greatest job in the world.
I don't think you've done something by getting a job. I think you've done something by proving you can succeed at that job.
In my mind, I've got the best job in the country.
One of the first pieces of advice I was ever given, on my first job was, 'You should always buy something to treat yourself to say, 'Well done for getting the job!'
Working in water is so difficult. But I liked having something very physical to do - you realize you're strong. It's a really good feeling.
An organization belongs on a sick list when promotion becomes more important to its people than accomplishment of their job they are in. It is sick when it is more concerned with avoiding mistakes than with taking risks, with counteracting the weaknesses of its members than with building on their strength. But it is sick also when "good human relations" become more important than performance and achievement.
I love the job I'm doing.
