“Wake up determined—go to bed satisfied”

“Wake up with determination—go to bed with satisfaction” (or “wake up determined—go to bed satisfied”) is a saying that has been printed on many posters. George Latimer (1867-1937), an author and an editor of The Saturday Evening Post, wrote in the book Letters from a Self-made Merchant to His Son (1902):
 
“You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction. You’ve got to eat hog, think hog, dream hog—in short, go the whole hog if you’re going to win out in the pork-packing business.”
 
The saying has been popularly used in both sports and in business. “Wake up determined, go to bed satisfied” was cited on Twitter in 2011.
 
   
Wikiquote: George Horace Lorimer
George Horace Lorimer (October 6, 1867 – October 22, 1937) was an American journalist and author. He is best known as the editor of The Saturday Evening Post. During his editorial reign, the Post rose from a circulation of several thousand to over a million. He is credited with promoting or discovering a large number of American writers, e.g. Jack London.
 
Lorimer was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of the Rev. George C. Lorimer and Belle Burford Lorimer. He attended Moseley High School in Chicago, Colby College, and Yale University. In 1899 he became editor-in-chief of The Saturday Evening Post, and remained in charge until the last day of 1936, about a year before his death from throat cancer.
