Bob Basso Quotations

If it's not fun, you're not doing it right

People need to enjoy themselves because that's all they have. Many people in Hawaii are working two and three jobs, so it needs to be fun.

People in Hawaii have a built-in twinkle in their eye, and bring a sense of play and ohana to their work. When you leave work for the weekend in Boise, Idaho or Delaware, Maryland, you don't see your coworkers again until Monday -- that's not true of Hawaii, which has the most bowling and softball leagues of any state in the union.

The work on a cruise ship is extremely difficult if you aren't a third-world employee. If an American is unhappy with their job, they'll tell you to take this job and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
