Work Quotes
“The best plan now is to have as many bosses as possible. I call it boss diversity. If you work for a company and you have one boss and that boss doesn't like you or wants to get rid of you, you're in trouble. But if you work for yourself, you have lots of bosses, who are your customers, and if a few of them decide they don't like you, that's okay.”

-- J. K. Rowling
“Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.”

-- Jack White
