But I guess the lesson is this: If you don't have confidence in yourself and think that you are worth hiring, or whatever it is, you can't expect anyone else to.

Sometimes, taking a job is like going to a shrink or something, where you get to know yourself better.

I always knew that I would give back. My mother and my father both believe you have to work hard and give back. That's why I was a volunteer firefighter, that's why I worked in a homeless shelter. I always knew I'd give back, elective office or not.

You have to give everything to every job you do.

For one thing, there is no guarantee that I am even going to work again. I hope I will and will go on to have a long career.

You learn from the things that happen in your career. You get up and down. You never give up. All the things that happened in my career, thank God it happened early rather than late in my career.

I am comfortable giving people direction. If something is not good enough, my job is to find a way to help them learn from their mistake, and understand that next time I expect better.

I still treat every job as if I might never get hired again as far as the way I save money and live really modestly.
