Speaker 1:Well, how about when we come back, we get motivated on this Monday morning? Oh, let's do it. All right, janine, it's time to get motivated with it. Let us know what is our motivational quote for the week. Here we go. Okay, this is from Zig Ziglar. He says people often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily. Exactly Albert Hubbard said people who never do any more than they get paid for never get paid for any more than they do. I like that. Rupaul, holy moly. I'm quoting RuPaul today. She said my favorite thing to do on this planet is to play games. And if you don't enjoy games, then you're really missing the point of what life is. Ron White says I believe that life, if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade and try to find someone whose life has given them vodka and have a party. And last quote from Claude McDonald If hard work is the key to success, most people would rather pick the lock.
Speaker 4:Oh, oh, that's funny, that's cool. What is today's?
Speaker 1:motivational quote. I think I like the one about the paid. Oh oh, that's funny, that's cool, that's cool. What is today's motivational?
Speaker 4:quote I think I like the one about the paid number two.
Speaker 1:Number two people who never do any more than they. People who never do any more than they get paid for. Never get paid for any more than they do.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there you go. I kind of like it.
Speaker 1:Well, janine, we love you, best friend. I hope you have a great day and we'll talk to you tomorrow. You, too, have a good one. Bye.
