Be like a duck, paddling and working very hard inside the water, but what everyone sees is a smiling and calm face.

About This Quote

Don't be a duck. Be a duck. Ducklings are cute, but the way they move is not graceful or coordinated. When a duck moves its whole body at once to get from one place to another, it looks awkward and jerky.

But when a duck pushes its tail in the water, it looks cute and smooth. The same is true of people who are very busy all the time, but don't look happy or relaxed. When you're working hard, no one sees that you're smiling and enjoy what you're doing.
