I suppose I have a really loose interpretation
of "work," because I think that just being
alive is so much work at something you don't
always want to do ... The machinery is always
going. Even when you sleep.

For a salesman, there is no rock bottom to life. He don't put a bolt to a
nut, he don't tell you the law or give you medicine. He's a man way out
there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine .... A salesman is
got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory. -Arthur Miller, Death
of a Salesman, 1949

You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you
have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become
motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and
when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want
to see in the organization. -Anita Roddick, Body and Soul, 1991
