Work
The world is full of choices for building your life story. Work is the most common way that people become self-supporting. It is also a common source of personal fulfillment and opportunities to contribute to your chosen communities. Use work to explore personal interests and build a variety of professional assets.
Here is what motion pictures have to say about work.
“I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't want one.”
“The only successful marriage I had was me and my work.”
“The best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
“I act knowing that someday this job will end. You should do the same.”
“Judges, lawyers, cops, politicians. They stop bringing dope into this country, about a hundred thousand people are going to be out of a job.”
“There is something you should understand about the way I work. When you need me but do not want me, then I’ll stay. When you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go. It’s rather sad really, but there it is.”
“Why do we work so hard to get what we don’t even want?”
“I'm a people person, very personable. I absolutely insist on enjoying life. Not so task-oriented. Not a work horse. If you're looking for a Clydesdale I'm probably not your man. Like I don't live to work, it's more the other way around. I work to live. Incidentally, what's your policy on Columbus Day?”
“They say the number one killer of old people is retirement. People got 'em a job to do, they tend to live a little longer so they can do it.”
“Being brilliant is not enough, young man. You have to work hard. Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift, and you use it for the good of mankind.”
