The Work is All That Matters

Seek praise and it will always elude you.

Feign expertise and you’ll appear ignorant.

Deflect blame and it will land squarely on your shoulders.

Be everyone’s friend and you will be alienated.

Avoid labor and suffer twice the hardship.

Tinker with everything and you will accomplish nothing.

…

The work is all that matters. Do your work and rewards will follow. Humble yourself and you will be elevated. Accept blame and you will be admired. Be true to yourself and you will attract others. Confront your duties now and avoid suffering later.

Focus on your task and achieve greatness.

“Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.”

    Do you somehow know I’m reading this while at work?! I am currently NOT on the path to serenity

    Aw don’t sweat it Tom. Not sure I’m on the path either. I’ve got the “step back” part down pat though. ;-)

    Hope you have a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year Tom!
