Book excerpt: Excerpt from Office Training and Standards The difference between work and play is simply the difference between your attitude toward work and your attitude toward play. Office work can easily be turned into a fascinating game, just by following the rules and keeping score. "How can I keep score on work?" Just the same way you keep score in a game. In a baseball game you count the hits, the runs, the fouls, and so on. In business you can also count the hits, the runs, and the fouls. Every time you finish a task, you make a "hit"; each mistake counts as a "foul"; every time you fail to finish a task, you make a "strike"; and if you fail often enough, you "strike out." On the other hand, work quickly done counts as a "ball" and four balls give you your "base"; you score a home run every time you receive advancement. What are the rules? There are only three rules for success in business; they are: learn the game, play the game, and stick to it. Simple? Yes, but you will find that something just as simple lies at the bottom of everything that's worth while. This book will show you how to play the game. Here are a few suggestions that will help you to get the most out of the book: As you thumb over the pages, you will see illustrations of various kinds - photographs, charts, diagrams, forms. Study these illustrations carefully. They were not put in to fill up the book, or to make it look nice. Each illustration was selected with a purpose, and thousands of illustrations were examined before the final selection was made. If the illustration is a photograph, see how many different objects in it you can pick out. Ask yourself what the purpose of each object is and why it is shown. You will find the charts are helpful, if they are used correctly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
