360. Hard Work

There is nothing in the world wrong with hard work. Indeed you should work as hard as you can at everything you turn your hand to. Just don't plan to work hard all your life. There is a time to every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes). It is often said that you should work smarter rather than harder but I say that best of all is to work smart and hard so you can get out of work faster and richer.

341. To Work with Love

"We can all do small things with great Love." -Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"...And what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads from your own heart as if the cloth were to be worn by your beloved..." - Khalil Gibran (The Prophet)

Try to work always with Love in your heart, that way it won't be like work at all.

302. "Luck"

Luck always favours the mind that is prepared. And when I look at it, the harder I work, the luckier I get.

This means that before every event, every test, job interview, exam or encounter of any sort, you should prepare, do your homework, check, double check and check again everything connected with it.

Luck is defined as that which happens when opportunity meets preparation. Learn to recognise it whenever it happens.

281. Career

Whatever your career, lesrn well and respect your craft. Do not fear failure. Be Kind and Respectful. Work hard and with integrity. Be easy to be around.
