Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, speaking to Bane-Clene owners, prescribed a plan for making hard work easy. He said, "First of all, do not get the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world will go on even without you. Tell yourself that you like your job, and mean what you say. Your work will become a pleasure without drudgery.
"Plan your work and then work your plan. Lack of a plan produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling. Don't try to do everything at once. Get a healthy mental attitude. The difficulty of your job depends on how you think about it. Think that it's hard, and you will make it hard. Become more proficient. Knowledge is power.
"Practice being relaxed. Don't press or strain. Discipline yourself not to put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Don't drag yesterday's burdens along with you. At the start of every day, thank God you have a job and then give that job all you've got and then some."
