“At Wal-Mart, a co-worker once advised me that, although I had a lot to learn, it was also important not to "know too much," or at least never to reveal one's full abilities to management, because "the more they think you can do, the more they'll use you and abuse you." My mentors in these matters were not lazy; they just understood that there are few or no rewards for heroic performance. The trick lies in figuring out how to budget your energy so there'll be some left over for the next day.” ThinkingKnowsImportantMatterUseLyingNextEnergyLeftCan DoAbilityToo MuchUnderstoodPerformancesAbuseManagementRewardsWorkersTricksBudgetsLazyHeroicMentorNext DayCo Worker Author:Barbara Ehrenreich

“Don't get discouraged. As far as I'm concerned, a positive attitude is the most important attribute any runner can have. You'll need it often. Every runner has bad days, every runner has occasional injuries, and every runner eventually slows down (take it from someone who has slowed down a lot). But as long as you maintain a positive attitude, you'll find ways to overcome the obstacles and continue running. After all, running offers countless rewards. It's simply up to you to find the ones that have the most meaning for you.” WayNeedsLongImportantRunningAttitudeOffersConcernedOvercomingRewardsObstaclesPositive AttitudeInjuryAttributesRunnersSlow DownDiscouragedUp To YouOccasionalBad Day Author:Amby Burfoot
“It is not the ownership of the instruments of production which it is important for the State to assume. If the State is able to determine the aggregate amount of resources devoted to augmenting the instruments and the basic rate of reward to those who own them, it will have accomplished all that is necessary. Moreover, the necessary measures of socialization can be introduced gradually and without a break in the general traditions of society.” IfsImportantStatesWisdomAblePoliticsBreakEconomyAmountResourcesTraditionInstrumentsAssumingRewardsRateDetermineProductionsLiberalismAccomplishedDevotedOwnershipSocialization Book:General Theory Of Employment , Interest And Money Source: General Theory Of Employment , Interest And Money
