Do the best job you can and rewards will follow
When I was a young kid working my way through the public school system, each and every teacher told me to do my very best. Whether drawing circles, reciting the alphabet or categorizing insect classes, doing my best has always be the goal. Now I have to admit that when it came to school, I was never really challenged. To any outside observer it may have appeared that I was not doing my work or that I was not fully engaged, yet I finished with honors near the top of my class.
Work sometimes means doing things you hate
My daughter works as an assistant manager at a shop that makes "authentic" sub sandwiches. Their food is great tasting and they use fresh cooked meat products. For most people, roasting and slicing beef would be a simple part of the job,which is of course based on perspective. For someone who is a vegetarian it is a little more difficult. However, if you go in and order a sandwich from her she'll assemble it with a loving smile and deliver it with a happy word; she loves her job.
Security is based on integrity
It's time once again to recount a story I overheard regarding a bank somewhere in the United States. The employee was contacted by a customer who was concerned that there was an issue at the bank due to the number of police cars surrounding it. Upon calling the manager, the individual discovered that customers had wandered in and were waiting in line. This is a very normal process for most financial institutions with the exception that it was a federal holiday and that the bank was closed. Yes folks -- the bank was closed, the lights were off, there was a big sign on the door and yet people were inside waiting to check on their money.
