Getting a job scared her but she was determined not to shy away from risk. That’s what life’s all about. Climbing out onto the airplane wing and jumping off. ↗

Writing itself is a dream. There are days of self doubt and deadlines and wondering how you're going to pay the bills until you write that bestseller. But it's still the best job I've ever had. I've also been able to help a lot of people and even inspire a few and that feels great. ↗

The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job, to teach. His first school, his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him. ↗

الوظيفة في تاريخ مصر مؤسسة مقدسة كالمعبد، والموظف المصري أقدم موظف في تاريخ الحضارة. إن يكن المثل الأعلى في البلدان الأخرى محارباً أو سياسياً أو تاجراً أو رجل صناعة أو بحاراً فهو في مصر الموظف. وإن أول تعاليم أخلاقية حفظها التاريخ كانت وصايا من أب موظف متقاعد إلى ابن موظف ناشئ. وفرعون نفسه لم يكن إلا موظفاً معيناً من قبل الآلهة في السماء ليحكم الوادي من خلال طقوس دينية وتعاليم إدارية ومالية وتنظيمية. ووادينا وادي فلاحين طيبين يحنون الهامات نحو أرض طيبة ولكن رؤوسهم ترتفع لدى انتظامهم في سلك الوظائف، حينذاك يتطلعون إلى فوق، إلى سلم الدرجات المتصاعد حتى أعتاب الآلهة في السماء. الوظيفة خدمة للناس وحق للكفاءة وواجب للضمير الحي وكبرياء للذات البشرية وعبادة الله خالق الكفاءة والضمير والكبرياء. ↗

Nations with too many laws, endless regulations, just cannot grow or generate enough jobs. Wake up... ↗

If you use a philosophy education well, you can get your foot in the door of any industry you please. Industries are like the blossoms on a tree while philosophy is the trunk - it holds the tree together, but it often goes unnoticed. ↗

For the man in the paddock, whose duty is is to sweep up manure, the supreme terror is the possibility of a world without horses. To tell him that it is disgusting to spend one’s life shoveling up hot turds is a piece of imbecility. A man can get to love shit if his livelihood depends on it, if his happiness is involved. ↗
