Colloquial Thursday - Work - 9.4

Brittany's dad had some interesting things to say about work: "You are so different to talk to on the phone these days.  The steady work will do wonders for you.  Remember, work is just something that has to be done." I can imagine Brittany at about your same age, perhaps having one of her first jobs? I talked to Janette Hanssen last night about helping find opportunities for you in Austin this summer in the design business. She has some ideas and you might want to give her a call. Janette said that she worked for some design firms when she was in college (cataloging samples) and that it was hard work, but an important part of learning the trade. I liked what Brittany's dad said next: "So smile and don't forget you can influence so many people in this world by what you say!!!!!!  Even more than smiles I think it is your destiny to be a person of effect. One that shows others how to find happiness in the wheel of life."


Here is a great colloquialism from Thomas Edison on the subject of work:
"Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits."
