Earl Nightingale was best known as a motivational writer and author.  Here are his thoughts on getting things gone and hard work:

• Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
• Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.
• Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.
• We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.
• Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about.
• The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!
• We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.
• Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
• The key that unlocks energy is ''Desire'.' It's also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.
