Quotation of the Day for August 16, 2014



"If we could have found a way to get rid of all the griping, we would have had the perfect place to work. I wish we had made it a requirement for all employees to work somewhere else before coming to WordPerfect Corporation, so they could have understood how lucky they all were. If I ever start another business, I will have all employees sign a contract requiring them to come to work with a good attitude. If they decide one day they do not like their jobs or they do not want to be cheerful, then they will agree in advance to an immediate termination without notice, without severance, and without receiving any accrued vacation pay. Life is too short to spend it with the dissatisfied."

- W. E. "Pete" Peterson, "Almost Perfect", on page 76 of http://www.wordplace.com/ap/almostperfect.pdf.
