The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one’s children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals.
My mission is to make the world happy and cute and to love everyone. I think I’m doing a pretty good job.
If you have a job without any aggravations, you don’t have a job.
By the 1980s, businesses had realized that environmental issues had a price tag. Increasingly, they balked. Reflexively, the anticorporate Left pivoted; Earth Day, erstwhile snow job, became an opportunity to denounce capitalist greed.
The most important job you’ll ever have is in the walls of your own home.
I got fired when I was a dishwasher at Denny’s. That set me back a little bit. You don’t realize how important dishwashers are until you do the job.
I was a bellman – a great hotel, five-star hotel in Boston. I made great money. I made cash every day. I had good benefits. We had 401k. All the things you could ask for in a great job, I had. You know what I didn’t have? I hated my job.
I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It’s kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It’s a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.
Everybody aspires to an affordable home, a secure job, better living standards, reliable healthcare and a decent pension. My generation took those things for granted, and so should future generations.
Modeling is a job. Even my mum doesn’t believe that I do work hard.
People are going to doubt Aaron Donald and they’re going to like Aaron Donald. But at the end of the day, my job is to make plays and let them speak for me.
I love my job. I don’t find it stressful, and I only took a rest because I didn’t find another club after Real. It was not something that I needed because of stress, because that is not a problem for me. I don’t have pressure. I like my job, and I know how it is. I have experience.
Real estate is my life. It is my day job, if you will. But it consumes my nights and weekends, too.
To mistrust science and deny the validity of scientific method is to resign your job as a human. You’d better go look for work as a plant or wild animal.
I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile.
It’s time to get real, folks. Hope and change ain’t working. Hope and change is not a solution. Hope and change is not a job.
I have friends and experience from everywhere; I’ve worked in all kinds of locations and situations and in all kinds of job profiles, so there’s a varied experience that comes handy. And there’s something nice when you do something you’ve to push yourself to do it.
I feel like if I can help somebody look at money differently or manage their finances differently or spend a little differently, then I feel like I’m doing my job. So I’ll try to help them see the bigger picture and think longevity versus the temporary spending that we’re kind of accustomed to.
I think that having a job in journalism, despite all of the changes, is still a fantastic way to be – make a living observing your society and having a chance to use your voice.
I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.
As an actor, you have to face the public all the time. It is a job that people fantasies, but it also creates prejudices; these prejudices are the scariest things. People judge a personal life or your image, and it can affect the characters I play. Therefore, I try not to showcase my personal life too much.
I explained to my kids at an early age: I’m a normal dad with an abnormal job.
My job as a prosecutor is to do justice. And justice is served when a guilty man is convicted and an innocent man is not.
A smartphone is a computer – it’s not built using a computer – the job it does is the job of being a computer. So, everything we say about computers, that the software you run should be free – you should insist on that – applies to smart phones just the same. And likewise to those tablets.
Whether it’s salary or a promotion or a job, I think it’s important for women to ask for what they think they deserve.
Copenhagen has done a remarkable job creating streets that are focused on bicycles and pedestrians.
If there is a job that you feel passionate about, do what you can to pursue that job; if there is a purpose about which you are passionate, dedicate yourself to that purpose.
What is Apple, after all? Apple is about people who think ‘outside the box,’ people who want to use computers to help them change the world, to help them create things that make a difference, and not just to get a job done.
Debt certainly isn’t always a bad thing. A mortgage can help you afford a home. Student loans can be a necessity in getting a good job. Both are investments worth making, and both come with fairly low interest rates.
My job as energy and climate change secretary is to both power the country and protect the planet. Nuclear power delivers on both of these objectives.
There are people who are hating you more because of where you are coming from. People like the ‘he comes from nothing and made it to F1’ story. I know that, but I just do my thing; I focus on my job.
Acting is such a weird job.
Everyone forgets comedians are actors. There’s no question about it. A Robin Williams cannot say the same line every night for 40 weeks and make it sound fresh unless he’s doing an acting job.
Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience – in an instant, you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it’s the most important job in the world.
One’s dream is constantly evolving, rising and falling, changing course. This happens in every job, but because I have worked in comedy for twenty-five years, I can probably speak best about my own profession.
Frankly I’ve never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an ‘icon’, ‘superstar’, etc. I’ve always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.
Under neoliberal governance, workers have seen their wages stagnate and their working conditions and job security become more precarious.
I think baking cookies is equal to Queen Victoria running an empire. There’s no difference in how seriously you take the job, how seriously you approach your whole life.
I am a completely self-made person. It’s been a tough journey – I learnt on the job, worked 48 hours without sleeping.
