Employment

“Work has to be enjoyable on a daily basis. We all have to come to work on the balls of our feet and go up the stairs two steps at a time. We need to be surrounded by friends who can dress whatever way they want, even be barefoot. We all need to have flextime to surf the waves when they are good, or ski the powder after a big snowstorm, or stay at home and take care of a sick child. We need to blur the distinction between work and play and family.” --Yvon Chouinard
