Something I've heard many times, but was reminded of whilst watching a blog recently:
"Always Put 100% Into Your Job Even If You Hate It!"
I was going to write something about why this is good advice. Unsurprisingly someone on the internet has already beaten me to it:
Of the 10 listed in the link above, here's the 3 that standout for me:
1. Habitual Lifestyle
Investing 100% of yourself in any given task can form a habit within you that spills over into your personal life as well. By putting full effort into everything in your life, you could reduce your stress levels by completing tasks correctly the first time and keeping organized.
2. Self-Worth
Even if it is a job you dislike, you will improve the way you look at yourself after putting in a day consisting of your best work ethic. Nothing is better for your soul than to look at yourself in the mirror and know that you are doing the best possible job you can.
3. Reputation Proceeds You
By having a strong work ethic, your reputation for getting the job done can open greater opportunities within your company or amongst your peers at a different location.
Your life is yours (and the meaning of life is just to be alive.) Remember to find time for the positive things in your life that are most important to you (like family.) Work is important but there is more to life than work!
