A Quote by John Moulder Wilson

There are only two stimulants to one's best efforts-the fear of punishment, and the hope of reward. When neither is present, one can hardly hope that salespeople will want to be trained or want to do a good job. When disappointment is not expressed that one hasn't done a better job, or when credit is withheld when one has done a good job, there is absolutely no incentive to put forth the best effort.

There are only two stimulants to ones best efforts: the fear of punishment, and the hope of reward.

I believe that if you want to do a good job at something, then you're always analyzing the job that you've done to see if you can do it better.

Sean Spicer

I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.

Bill Parcells

I mean, an actor's got to be known for something. Typecasting is an unfortunate kind of reflex punishment for having done a good job. But what's the alternative? To not do a good job?

John de Lancie

Others, amounting to four novels and a mess of short stories which I did not think worth preserving, I have done my best to eliminate from the record by refusing all requests for permission to reprint them, and I hope I have done a good job of making them hard to unearth.

Leslie Charteris

It's not really the job of a public servant to inspire, but to get the job that the people demand done. The Democrats think that if they have hope and are inspired, things will get better, but they actually won't.

Roseanne Barr

It is ridiculous to take on a man's job just in order to be able to say that 'a woman has done it - yah!' The only decent reason for tackling a job is that it is your job and you want to do it.

Dorothy L. Sayers

Personally, I really hope I can treat everyone equally. I think I have done a pretty good job so far but I know I can do it better.

Warren Buffett

Texas has done a very good job of securing their borders with the help of the federal government. California has done a good job.

Jan Brewer

I do my job. I love my job. It's the best job I ever had. And it's probably the best job I will ever have. And I serve at the pleasure of the president. That's true of President Obama. That will be true of President Trump. And if and when a president decides that they want to replace me, I'll ride off into the sunset.

Preet Bharara

I have unbelievable trust in my offensive line that they will get the job done. Not only them, but the running backs and as a quarterback, I have to do my job in getting the ball in the right people's hands and doing what I do best.

Cam Newton

The best way to create a winning team is to train them, give them everything they need to get the job done and second, make sure they know what the job is and what the job will be. So you connect strategy to resources.

Colin Powell

The downstream effects are unknown. Do your best and hope for the best. If you're improving the world-however you define that-consider your job well done.

Tim Ferriss

Making a film is like raising a child. You have to be there every step of the way, guide it, provide for it, and finally let it go into the real world and hope you have done a good job. If you don't absolutely love your film then you will loss interest in it and the movie will suffer.

Nicholas Ozeki

I hope we win a lot of games, that's part of the job at Ohio State. But you want to have a bigger impact than that when you're done. You want to leave a legacy behind, you want to make change.

Ryan Day

Google's done a super good job on search; Apple's done a great job on the IPod.

Bill Gates
