“We don’t get paid for the hour; we get paid for the value we bring to the hour.”

“You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.”

“We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time,... but we get paid for the value, not the time.”

“We had visceral, rich memories of dull, interminable hours. Then a day would pass in perfect harmony with our projects, our family members, and our coworkers, and we couldn’t believe we were getting paid for this.”

“ and some of the people i knew were contemplating our circumstances. our circumstances being poorly paid jobs if we worked in the arts, two hours of sleep if we worked in money, and a newfound sense of intellectual inferiority if we worked in publishing.”

“Success is being blessed to get to do what we truly love best in our life and getting paid quite well to do it.”
