Worth Quoting: Ivan Seidenberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon, on Hard Work

"My first boss - he was the building superintendent, and I was a janitor - watched me sweep floors and wash walls for almost a year before he mentioned that I could get tuition for college if I got a job with the phone company. When I asked him why he'd waited so long, he said, 'I wanted to see if you were worth it.' The message: Work hard, have high standards, and stick to your values, because somebody's always watching."
