Tom Hodgkinson Quotes

I love my work, and I feel fortunate to be doing a job I love, but it isn't the centre of my life.

You may be exhausted with work, you may even kill yourself, but unless your work is interwoven with love, it is useless. To work without love is slavery.

In the long run, doing work that's important leads to more happiness than doing work that's merely profitable.

To have meaningful work is a tremendous happiness.

The last thing I wanted was a big paycheck but no inspiration or support.

Life is too short to be doing work that doesn't make you feel happy and fulfilled. I'd rather wait for the right project, as opposed to just taking whatever is handed to me.

I can't be bought with money. If someone calls me and asks me to work for them for three or four years, and they'll pay me well to build their vacation home, I ask myself why I should work three or four years on something like that.

Good jobs look a lot like kids playing and adults working.

I want to go working with good people on something that's good, because otherwise it's a big waste of time. I don't have that much time.

To do work that's not going to be fulfilling doesn't make sense.

I love working so much. For me, working equals happiness.

If you're not enjoying your work, what's the point?

I love what I do, and I find personal joy through my work at Harman. My identity is who I am and what I do.

Finding meaning in your work is your responsibility. Any job can be better when you actively work to find meaning in the work.

Every employee needs to know that there's somebody out there that they serve. And when we don't let people know that for one reason or another, we're depriving them of a fulfilling job.

There's a trend for people wanting more meaning in their work and pursuing something in the day-to-day that is valuable rather than working as a means to the end.

I just want to do stuff that gives me work satisfaction.

Passion should meet your professional life, and I'm a living, breathing testament to that.

I’ve reached a certain age where I love to work. I could just live here [at the studio].

Obviously the great thing about this job is the complete freedom of the schedule. So long as I meet the deadline, they don't care when I work or how I work.

The only thing that can bring joy is work.

Work isn't meaningful just because you spend your life doing it.

To make a living is no longer enough. Work also has to make a life.

Working is part of life, I don't know how to distinguish between the two... Work is an expression of life.
