About This Quote
The speaker agrees that all of us should be doing our jobs and doing them well. It’s not like we don’t all work, we do. We use the exact same clock and the exact same rules of logic and communication. Some people think they can get more money or control by doing something different than others, or even doing the exact same thing differently than others.
But no matter what anyone does, they all work. We all get paid for working and we get paid for doing our jobs. And we all get plenty of opportunities to do the things we want to do.
Sometimes we just don’t take them because we’re too afraid of what might happen if we did.
