From the Publisher: Hard Work Brings Profit
The Good Book instructs us that all, repeat, “all,” hard work brings a profit. It doesn’t matter if I am unskilled or ignorant of a required task; if I work hard and push forward, I will profit.
If I had known this as a teenager, my life would be dramatically different today. No longer thinking as a child, I now receive pleasure in all tasks presented to me. In fact, the ones I do not particularly look forward to, but require the most work, bring a deeper satisfaction.
You’ve probably heard of–or read–the book, What Color Is Your Parachute, by Richard Bolles. The status of the book and the information it provides is certainly newsworthy.
“Parachute is one of the all-time bestselling careers books, with more than 10 million copies of 37 editions snapped up since 1970. It ranks-along with War and Peace and the Bible-among the top 25 books that have “shaped readers’ lives.”
(US News & World Report, October 13, 2008)
Mr. Bolles, now in his eighties, understands the profit of hard work. He says,
“…and let’s not forget the human nature factor called ‘laziness’ -so, sometimes they just say: ‘Oh, that’s too much work.’ I’ve heard that so many times.’”
As the writer of the [US News & World Report] article stated, Bolles’s principles are not for the faint of heart.
There are many areas of book publishing which require hard work and perseverance. Applying hard work to all areas of production produces the highest quality. From the author to the editor, to typesetting and design, hard work, insightful advice, patience, and perseverance will produce shining results.
At WinePress, the central ingredient to creating a good book is—hard work. We relish the opportunity to work hard on every author’s manuscript, for all hard work brings profit and satisfaction.
