Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

Get to work

Things are never as difficult as they seem, once you get started. Just put one foot in front of the other. Just take the first sheet of paper off the top of the stack, and go to work. Dig in and keep going. Make yourself comfortable. Feel the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment as you get things done.

No matter what you do, give it your full attention and do your best. Don’t worry about making it perfect. Do make it valuable and useful. Enjoy and appreciate your work. Take pride in it.

The work you do, whatever it is, is an opportunity. An opportunity for your to express the very special person that you are. An opportunity for you to make a difference. An opportunity for you to enrich your own life and the lives of those around you.

— Ralph Marston
