Basic Rule of Compensation:
People get paid what the job’s worth, nor what they’ve worth. That’s why this doesn’t mean in any given occupation is more honorable than any other simply because it pays more. We all have a role to play and it’s important for our well being to love what we do.
“The highest reward for a person’s work is not what they get for it but what they become by it.” By John Ruskin
Know Yourself
“Do you know who you are and the potential that lives inside of you, waiting to be released? We are all special, individualized beings capable of admirable accomplishment, and since we are born with the gifts of potential and desire, we need to discover and cultivate them. To know ourselves is to discover our desires and follow our dreams.” Dennis E. Hensley
“People who have a plan for guiding themselves and implement it discover, in the process, who they really are”
