Sales motivational speaker Zig Ziglar, in his book, Over the Top, points something out that I had never considered before reading it.

He says that we work our hardest just before a vacation. We try super hard to get everything done so we can relax when we get on vacation.

Ziglar says that if we would always work like we¡¦re about to go on vacation, we'll never be without work. Even if you lose one job for unforseen reasons, the word will get out that you are worth hiring.
