In societies where mature workers are respected and where their wisdom is respected, everybody benefits. Workers are more engaged and productive. Their health is better. They live longer.

I don't want to say work is who I am, but some people feel more centered and more whole when they're producing and creating.

Middle-aged women have greater stability, they are more loyal, and their capacity for steady work is greater than that of younger women.

I think the younger generation, the people poised to dominate the workforce, are more socially conscious. They are more demanding in terms of environment and how that environment contributes to their life.

If you're in your early 20s and you're hanging out with a bunch of other people in their early 20s, nobody has a sense of the kinds of problems that real 'workers' run into every day. They're running into a completely different set of problems like 'What's the party going on right now that I should be going to?'

When we think about the workplace, people think about hard skills being dominant, but they're not. The employer realizes knowledge will shift quickly, and there's a half-life to knowledge in this world.

It's important that the adults appreciate that young people are capable of doing really astounding work.

Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.

The young people working for me are ambitious and hard-working. That work ethic has always been a trait of the British.

Individuals, too, who cultivate a variety of skills seem brighter, more energetic and more adaptable than those who know how to do one thing only.
