Kickass Work Ethic Role Models!
« on: April 26, 2017, 11:12:05 AM »
  I read this line in 1985, at age 19, in a People Magazine article about the hardest-working celebrities,
   and it has stayed with me forever.  When I think about it I glow with happiness and ambition.  :)

  "It surprised absolutely no one that, when a bomb went off in her
   hotel at 2:54 a.m., Margaret Thatcher, 59, was still working."   :chores:


   Seriously, the work ethic in that one line is what I aspire to. 
   I haven't lived up to it, but there's still time.  :viking:

   Who are your work ethic role models?  :)

A world with just Jacks or Meowsy McDermotts would be very boring.

That's correct, but imagine all the work that would get done.

It's a good thing I don't work so I don't need ethics.  :zoinks:

My favorite cartoon (from the 1960's)

Two hippie females were walking down the street.  On of them says, "You know housework is a drag.  You sweep the floor, you do the dishes, make the bed and 6 weeks later you have to do it all again."
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.
