“After Jacob had worked for Laban for seven years, do you know what happened? Laban fooled him and gave him his ugly daughter Leah. So to marry Rachel, Jacob was forced to work another seven years. So, you see, children, the Bible clearly teaches us you can never trust an employer.”

“As a result, we now see a plethora of MBA-holders mushrooming in and infiltrating every sector, company and corporation, no matter how large or small. With rare exceptions, these MBA-holders hardly bring any creativity or depth to the table. For them, everything is about profits and building their own image and profile. They seldom care about the well-being and advancement of those who fall under the mercy of their business ideas. They are usually people who, like a herd of sheep, have been told that an MBA is the easiest and fastest route to prosperity and advancement, so they go to school, get that MBA, and from there wreak havoc in every place they set their foot on. With their mediocrity and strong desire to advance at any cost, their management styles often create a culture of fear and intimidation among employees. This culture is usually characterized by serious retaliation if anyone dares to open their mouth to challenge their authority or critique their ideas.”

“In brief, anyone who has worked at one or two workplaces in America is familiar with that type of middle management or upper management individuals whose job is almost exclusively to create unnecessary tasks and procedures that turn the lives of employees under them into an absolute nightmare. What usually happens under such toxic circumstances? Nothing. A deafening silence from most employees. In fact, many employees not only remain silent out of fear of getting fired, they go as far as putting on fake smiles (or even loud laughter) to survive. Some walk around the office with the attitude of ‘I love my job!’ ‘I love my life!’ ‘I am living the dream!’ to please middle and upper management.”

“An EMPATH is someone with at least one significant gift for directly experiencing what it is like to be another person. Many different empath gifts are possible, but the process of developing empath skill is identical whether you were born with one empath gift or many.”

“Labor Day is a day to recognize the dignity of work and the contributions of working people to our society. Dedicated to no single man, sect or class, Labor Day celebrates the tireless collective efforts of all individuals striving to make our nation a better place for us, our children, and future generations. The farmer and the businessperson, the civil servant and the private sector worker, the state officers, all the workers..... let us honor their selfless service irrespective of their class or background.”

“با اینکه بسیاری از ما رئیس یا مشتریانی داریم و هر کدام خرده‌فرمایش‌هایی دارند، آن‌ها همچنان قادر نیستند برنامه‌های جزئی روزانه‌ی ما را تعیین کنند؛ نگرانی‌های درونی خودمان عموماً خشن‌ترین کارفرمایانمان هستند. جدول‌های زمانی بیش از حد جاه‌طلبانه و مدیریت نادرست مشغله‌هایمان باعث ایجاد بی‌قراری عمیق و فرسودگی ناتوان کننده خواهد شد.”

“راهبرد کلی خوبی برای متعادل کردن وسواس و کمال‌گرایی داریم: به خودتان برای تولید یک نتیجه‌ی عالی وقت کافی بدهید، ولی دقت کنید که وقت شما نامحدود نباشد. محصول شما باید به اندازه‌ای خوب باشد که نظر افرادی با قریحه‌ی مورد قبول از نظر خودتان را جلب کند، اما خود را ملزم نکنید که حتما یک شاهکار ارائه دهید.”

“در واقع آهستگی برای اعتراض به کار نیست، بلکه برای پیدا کردن راهی بهتر جهت انجام دادن آن است. رویکرد سریع دست کم در هفتاد سال گذشته امتحان شده و مشخص شده است که کارآمد نیست. وقت آن رسیده است تا رویکردی آهسته‌تر را امتحان کنیم.”
