Work Is an Opportunity

I love the above video from actor and investor, Ashton Kutcher, because it reminds us all of the opportunity that work is. Researcher, Jonas Salk said, “The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.” And inventor, Thomas A. Edison said, “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Putting effort into work is the only way for good things to happen. It’s very difficult to have good results come from nothing, but when we put effort into the right things, great things are bound to happen.

We shouldn’t look at work as we have to, but rather, we get to. Work is always an opportunity.

    The opportunity to work for the privilege of producing excellence fuels the passion to do more – to be more. The price? Average will never again satisfy. Your blog is so thought-provoking. Keep it up, Adam!
