66 Top Job Quotes That Motivate You To Go For That Dream Job

Job

If you have a job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life. That's true. You will only be doing what you love instead of working. If you haven't found what you love yet, don't settle. Keep looking because it's right there somewhere.

Some people wake up and grudgingly go into offices they don't like, to work with colleagues they hate, and do jobs they don't love. When you dislike your space and what you are doing, it's bound to get in your way and you cannot produce satisfactory work.

It affects your mental health gradually. You may become stressed, have trouble sleeping, and end up depressed. That's because you are constantly in an environment that your whole being resists being in.

Sometimes people may remain in jobs they hate because of the pay they get. The jobs help them pay their bills and save some for a rainy day. However, if this is you, you may have to do something about it in the long run.

Figure out if it's the job you hate, your colleagues, or your boss to learn how to navigate your days while there. Remember to reward yourself for the little wins. When you do something fantastic or complete a milestone, reward yourself because it motivates you to complete the next one.

Always keep your work at work. Avoid carrying your work back home or telling work stories at home. Leave everything work-related in the office and enjoy your free time.

You should also plan your exit. Don't just wake up one day and say that you are tired and done. Start looking for another opportunity while still on the job to make your exit smooth for you and those depending on you. Here are job quotes to motivate and give you insight about work.

I always started a job with the feeling that I'd soon quit or be fired, and this gave me a relaxed manner that was mistaken for intelligence or some secret power.

Baby, that's grammar school. Any damn fool can beg up some kind of job; it takes a wise man to make it without working. Out here we call it hustling. I'd like to be a good hustler.

"Look, you're small-town. I've had over 50 jobs, maybe a hundred. I've never stayed anywhere long. What I am trying to say is, there is a certain game played in offices all over America. The people are bored, they don't know what to do, so they play the office-romance game. Most of the time it means nothing but the passing of time. Sometimes they do manage to work off a screw or two on the side. But even then, it is just an offhand pasttime, like bowling or t.v. or a New Year's Eve party. You've got to understand that it doesn't mean anything and then you won't get hurt. Do you understand what I mean?" "I think that Mr. Partisan is sincere." "You're going to get stuck with that pin, babe, don't forget what I told you. Watch those slicks. They are as phony as a lead dime."

I think my idea of God was much more directive than my idea of God now, that is, a God who had one plan in mind for me, perhaps, and my job was to find out what it was and obey.

Because that is the Cat's "Role". All of us are monsters. Miserable, Misshapen creatures. Don't tell me you think we're happy like this? That we enjoy being freaks? Do you know how many handicaps we have, how much pain we go through, just to survive within the framework of this world...? Do you? To us, the existence of the Cat is our salvation. Without him, our lives would be completely unbearable. You see-that monster is the ugliest of us all. He's inferior to us all. So it's only natural for him to be discriminated against, disrespected, and locked up. The rest of us look at the way he's treated-and we signed with relief. "Thank God," We think. "At least I'm better off than that." You should ask the others sometimes. "Did you know he was going to be confined? Deep down, don't you feel superior to him?" They won't know what to say. The Cat was prepared as an outcast creature...for our sakes. And Kyo...knows that too-.

When I got back to Los Angeles I found a cheap hotel just off Hoover Street and stayed in bed and drank. I drank for some time, three or four days. I couldn't get myself to read the want ads. The thought of sitting in front of a man behind a desk and telling him that I wanted a job, that I was qualified for a job, was too much for me. Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.

Early on, when I was quite young and going from job to job, I was foolish enough to sometimes speak to my fellow workers: 'Hey, the boss can come in here at any moment and lay all of us off, just like that, don't you realize that?' They would just look at me. I was posing something that they didn't want to enter their minds.
