21 amusing quotes about earning a living

09/10/2024 by

Today, I have a collection of amusing quotes about earning a living and reflecting on the nature of work and money.

Most of us have no choice but to do whatever’s necessary to pay our bills and put bread on the table.

Yes, it can be rewarding but sometimes we must question whether the stress of work is worth it.

The easiest way to deal with stress is through humour, so here is my take on work and money in 21 quotes.

Earning a living can be a challenge, but it doesn’t do to take any of it too seriously.

I hope some of these quotes resonate with you, dear reader. Enjoy them all.

Quotes about earning a living (1-10)

Yes, I’m sick. Sick of work.

The best part of my job is a chair that swivels.

Money isn’t everything but try living without it.

I can’t afford to get sick. I’m far too busy at work.

Money talks, of course, but mine mostly just says goodbye.

Yes, I have a sense of purpose. My purpose is a life of leisure.

I work not because I want to but because I don’t have any choice.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can provide a comfortable misery.

The part of my working day that I look forward to most is going home.

I’m not driven by a love of money; I’m driven by the fear of being poor.

Quotes about earning a living (11-21)

I’m a self-made man. I started out with nothing, and I’ve still got nothing.

They say having money brings its own problems but so does not having money.

I’ll have enough income when I’m earning at least a penny more than I can spend.

They say having money is stressful but I find not having money is even more stressful.

I thought I wanted a career but now I realise all I really wanted was enough money to do as I please.

This morning, my boss said, make sure you have a good day. So, I went home, and I had a wonderful day.

If I had to choose between a life with money or a life without, then it’s a no-brainer. Show me the money.

We were poor but we were happy. Well, that’s not quite true. We weren’t happy exactly, but we were poor.

I’m on neither your side nor their side. I’m on my side. Looking after my own interests because no one else will.

Given a choice between affluence and poverty, I’d choose affluence, if only to satisfy my desire to live comfortably.

Careers are a wonderful thing. So far, mine has taken my earning capacity from really struggling to pay my bills to just about managing to pay my bills.

17 quotes by Salvador Dalí for you to ponder

09/05/2024 by

Today I thought it would be interesting to explore some quotes by Salvador Dalí.

As you probably know, Salvador Dalí was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, and the striking and bizarre images he created.

He was born in Figueres, in the Catalonia region of Spain, but received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid.

Dalí was influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, but he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements.

Dalí lived in France throughout the Spanish Civil War before leaving for the United States in 1940 where he achieved commercial success.

He returned to Spain in 1948 where he announced his return to the Catholic faith and developed his nuclear mysticism style, based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and the scientific developments of the day.

Dalí was increasingly an eccentric and ostentatious personality with often quite controversial views.

However, he was an important influence on many artists and never failed to make an impression.

Like him or loath him, it was impossible to ignore him.

So here are 17 quotes by Salvador Dalí for you to ponder, dear reader.

Please feel free to pass them on.

Quotes by Salvador Dali

  1. Let my enemies devour each other.
  2. Have no fear of perfection. You’ll never reach it.
  3. Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.
  4. Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
  5. Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.
  6. Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.
  7. The secret of my influence has always been that it remained secret.
  8. The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.
  9. Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.
  10. There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.
  11. Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
  12. Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure. That of being Salvador Dali.
  13. Don’t bother about being modern. Unfortunately, it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.
  14. At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.
  15. It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.
  16. The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
  17. Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.

17 inspirational quotes about leadership

09/04/2024 by

I love inspirational quotes about leadership because we all have the potential to be leaders.

We demonstrate our leadership skills in given situations, where our unique abilities and skill set make us best suited to lead.

When circumstances dictate we can all bring our unique talents to a situation to move that situation forward in a positive way.

When our talents collide with favourable circumstances we can ‘grab the ball and run with it.’ We can seize the day and demonstrate our capabilities to the world. We can put our best foot forward and say, “In this situation, I am the one who is best equipped to lead everyone to a satisfactory outcome. So follow me, everyone.”

You can be a leader dear reader; everyone can. We just don’t always fully appreciate our hidden depths.

In essence, leadership is having the confidence to stand up and be counted.

It’s all about driving you and your team towards a winning outcome.

Here are 17 inspirational quotes about leadership to help you think about what it means and why you have the right qualities to be a leader.

Inspirational quotes about leadership (1-10):

  1. Today a reader, tomorrow a leader. ~Margaret Fuller
  2. Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. ~Warren Bennis
  3. Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses. ~Mitt Romney
  4. A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd. ~Max Lucado
  5. The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. ~Henry Kissinger
  6. Leadership to me means duty, honour, and country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time. ~George W. Bush
  7. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want doing because he wants to do it. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
  8. I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. ~Alexander the Great
  9. A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit. ~Arnold H. Glasow
  10. A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. ~J. P. Morgan

Inspirational quotes about leadership (11-17):

  1. Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better. ~Bill Bradley
  2. A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a moulder of consensus. ~Martin Luther King, Jr
  3. A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. ~Lao Tzu
  4. If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever. ~Thomas Aquinas
  5. Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish. ~Sam Walton
  6. Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. ~Colin Powell
  7. Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire teammates and customers. ~Robin S. Sharma

21 inspirational quotes about age that’ll make you think

08/29/2024 by

Today I offer you some quotes about age.

Many of us spend far too much of our time fretting about our advancing years. However, should we? Age is just a number, surely?

Well, maybe! Then again, each birthday reminds us that time is passing.

On the other hand, as we get older we gradually become more comfortable being the people we are.

We worry less about what others think and we concentrate more on simply being ourselves and enjoying life as best we can.

For me, the most important thing is that we make the most of our lives.

I regard age as simply being a state of mind. Only when I lose interest in everything new will I truly regard myself as being old.

As long as I am still keen to learn, have new experiences, set myself new goals and rise to new challenges then I will never be old.

However, think old and you are old.

So choose to think young, constantly learn and test yourself. That will keep you young at heart. And forget the number, just focus on enjoying the moment.

Here are 21 inspirational quotes about age to help you put it all in perspective.

QUOTES ABOUT AGE

Old age comes at a bad time. ~San Banducci

The older I get, the better I used to be. ~Lee Trevino

Age is a high price to pay for maturity. ~Tom Stoppard

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis

Nice to be here? At my age it’s nice to be anywhere. ~George Burns

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art. ~Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old. ~George Burns

Old age isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative. ~Maurice Chevalier

Age is something that doesn’t matter unless you are a cheese. ~Luis Buñuel

You know you’re getting old when the candles cost more than the cake. ~Bob Hope

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. ~Mark Twain

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age. ~Lucille Ball

Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~Dylan Thomas

Old people shouldn’t eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get. ~Robert Orben

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young. ~Theodore Roosevelt

You don’t stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing. ~George Bernard Shaw

Eventually, you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. ~Will Rogers

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred. ~Woody Allen

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. ~Henry Ford

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age. ~Sophia Loren

Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

21 thought-provoking quotes about inspiration

08/23/2024 by

Do you need a little inspiration occasionally, dear reader? I know I do, frequently.

From the feedback I regularly receive from readers, it seems that most people find quotes an excellent source of inspiration.

And not just quotes from the great thinkers of course. Rather it’s those observations from ordinary people about life and the human condition that can be truly inspiring.

  5. There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found while journeying east and west. The only folks we really wound are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know. We please the fleeting guest. And deal full many a thoughtless blow to those who love us best. ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Quotes About Inspiration (16-21):

  1. If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

  5. My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that’s nice too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success. ~ Helen Hayes Brown
  6. The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. ~Pearl S. Buck

Why you should put something away for a rainy day

08/04/2024 by

Dear Reader, have you ever considered why you should put something away for a rainy day?

When you’re doing well and have a good income, it’s easy to imagine that the good times will go on forever and you can enjoy it all with the expectation that money will continue to flow in your direction without interruption.

But life’s not like that. Into every life, some rain will fall, as the saying goes.

Good times don’t last forever. Life tends to be cyclical, like the changing of the seasons.

The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining, for winter will have its day and we must be prepared for inclement weather.

Savings matter:

When you get paid each month you must set some money aside, separated into three accounts, as follows:

You must be prepared to pay those bills that come in regularly; you must be ready for an emergency. Equally, you must start creating wealth, so that one day you’ll be able to retire.

Bill Payment:

You cannot live in the modern age without incurring bills.

Whether it’s utility bills, phone bills, TV subscriptions, mortgage payments or rent, credit card payments, food bills, repayments on a car loan, et cetera. You must set money aside to pay all those bills when they fall due.

Emergency Account:

As the saying goes, stuff happens.

And when stuff happens you must be prepared to deal with it. You must have an emergency fund you can tap into to deal with emergency repairs or even an unexpected interruption to your income. These things do happen.

Financial Freedom:

When you’re young, it’s easy to think that you’ll keep on working, if you must, to earn an income.

However, trust me, one day you will want to retire from work, or at least from the daily grind.

If you are to retire you will need some wealth.

The best time to start building wealth is when you’re young.

Start a 401K or pension whilst you’re young, pay into it regularly and with some luck and good financial management, you can enjoy a comfortable old age.

By starting young you will benefit from the magic of compounding. The impact of compound interest should not be underestimated.

Remember; it will rain:

Think of life in terms of the seasons and prepare accordingly.

Most people experience hard times at some point in their lives, particularly when they’re young.

You can be sure it will rain; the only question is when.

You will be able to weather the storm a lot better if you have a financial cushion in the form of some savings.

If you are lucky enough to have an income now, you’d do well to remember to put some of your income away for a rainy day.

It’s easy to squander your money thinking the good times will never end.

However, nothing lasts forever. So, my advice is, to be prepared.

Why you should put something away for a rainy day

21 inspirational quotes about money you’ll enjoy

07/30/2024 by

People may tell you that money’s not important but, after oxygen, few things are more important to sustaining life in the modern age. So it’s essential that we take good care of our money and use it wisely.

That’s not to say we should be mean or stingy. Quite the contrary; being generous when it’s appropriate is very important too.

However, we should not waste money or fritter it away on things we don’t need, and will probably never use.

Enjoy your money when you have it but always put a little away for a rainy day because one day it will rain, of that you can be absolutely sure, dear reader.

Build capital over time and that capital can then generate an income stream for you.

Money can make your life easier of course but on its own, it will not make you happy. Never make the mistake of assuming that it will.

Happiness comes from within and if you’re not happy without money then having some money is unlikely to improve that situation.

Never chase money for its own sake. The personal cost of being overly acquisitive is likely to be very high indeed.

Make sure you have some balance in your life; then do what you love; do it well and the money will follow.

And never forget this; money is important but the people in your life are far more important. You can have all the money in the world but without people in your life, you have nothing.

Here are 21 inspirational quotes about money to help you reflect on what it really means. Enjoy them all.

Inspirational quotes about money (1-10):

  1. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. ~Milton Friedman
  2. A fool and his money are soon parted. ~Thomas Tusser

  7. Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons. ~Woody Allen
  8. Never spend your money before you have earned it. ~Thomas Jefferson
  9. There are people who have money and people who are rich. ~Coco Chanel

  2. Anybody who thinks money will make you happy hasn’t got money. ~David Geffen
  3. Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail. ~Kinky Friedman
  4. A wise man should have money in his head but not in his heart. ~Jonathan Swift

  6. Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish but it will not replace you as the driver. ~Ayn Rand

  8. When I was young, I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is. ~Oscar Wilde
  9. Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. ~Richard M. DeVos
  10. Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants. ~Benjamin Franklin
  11. Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence. ~Steve Jobs

11 quotes about gratitude to remind you its important

07/29/2024 by

However hard life proves to be, being grateful is an essential element to achieving personal happiness. So this post offers you 11 quotes about gratitude to make you think.

All too often we fret about all the things we lack. And then we fail to appreciate fully all the good things in our lives.

So what do you do when you’re feeling negative about your life experiences?

Well, you should stop for a second or two and contemplate all those things for which you really should be grateful.

It can be as simple as the cup of coffee you’re enjoying or the lunch you have planned with a friend later in the week. Maybe you’re off to play football or simply to sit in the park to watch the world go by.

If you think hard enough and you think positively enough, then eventually you’ll see that there are things for which you can be grateful. They don’t have to be big or significant. They just need to be something that brings you pleasure, if only for a moment.

However bad you think your life might be, if you look around the world you’ll see that in comparison to many others, you’re quite lucky.

Yes, of course, there’ll be people with a bigger slice of life’s cake than you’ve got but so what? Does it matter? It’s not the size of your house that matters, it’s how happy is the home in which you live.

If you want to be happy it starts with a positive frame of mind and that starts with being grateful for whatever it is you’ve got, however small it may be.

So go on, be grateful and be happy. And contemplate these 11 quotes about gratitude now.
