I think it's important to find the joy in your work and the things that sort of renew that.
The 35-hour week has from the moment of its inception been a massive mistake. We need to return to people the joy of work.
I was very happy in my job at the United Nations.
I love my work, and I think that I was so lucky to pick a profession where it's a joy to go to work every day.
We were created for meaningful work, and one of life's greatest pleasures is the satisfaction of a job well done.
Congenial labor is the secret of happiness.
Nothing can convince me that people are at one with their work unless they're joyous about it.
This old notion that work is drudgery is nonsense. Most days, even back when Xerox was under siege, I could not wait to get to the office.
One of the things I really love about my job is enthusiasm.
It's great to be working. Every morning, I wake up and pinch myself.
I've worked with very few that I considered unpleasant. Dennis the Menace was a joy to work on.
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.
Joy in one's work is the consummate tool.
I am so blessed to be able to get up in the morning and go to a job I love, with fantastic people around me.
I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
Our jobs determine to a large extent what our lives are like. Is what you do for a living making you ill? Does it keep you from becoming a more fully realized person? Do you feel ashamed of what you have to do at work? All too often, the answer to such questions is yes. Yet it does not have to be like that. Work can be one of the most joyful, most fulfilling aspects of life. Whether it will be or not depends on the actions we collectively take.
The joy I get from work is just huge.
Work without joy is drudgery. Drudgery does not produce champions, nor does it produce great organizations.
It's a real pleasure to go to work when you're in the most extraordinary surroundings, and working with people who are young and interested and creatively keen.
I've discovered that the standard all-American dream of fame and fortune is not success for me. Success for me is simply the joy of working - doing good work - and then bringing that joy home to my family. But if what I do in my work doesn't enrich my life with my family, I'm doing the wrong thing.
Accept the priceless gift - the joy of work. Apply the greatest value in life: love people and serve them. You will attract big and generous portions of success.
I am so glad to have found a sister in Sonam Nair. She makes work such a joy.
To be able to get up and be in my studio and work all day is a great joy.
You can work with someone who's an amazing actor, and if they hate the role they're doing, it's uncomfortable to watch and uncomfortable to work with. When you're working with someone who loves what they're doing, it's just such a joy.
You have that first joy of finding work, and then to become part of a show like 'Call the Midwife' - which I have watched religiously with my mum since it started -is doubly brilliant.
