Russell Simmons
The person who understands Dharma will have the opposite reaction to a hard job. That person will be eager to get started, no matter what kind of work is in front of her, because she understands that she's doing God's work. And when you're working for God, nothing is too hard.
Russell Simmons
It's very simple: When you're working your hardest, the world opens up to you.
