In general, it seems as though people simply lack a strong work ethic. Whether this is a result of their upbringing, passion for their jobs or maybe they are simply not challenged enough to perform at a higher level. No matter the reason, there is seldom an excuse for poor work ethic.
If you are waiting for the right job, the right boss etc then you’re already too late. Finish the job upon completion not upon the work day ending. Lay the foundation now. Be a linchpin now. Don’t wait for the ‘right’ situation to do your best.
We should always be striving towards greatness, progression and discipline. If not, you will be left in the dust. You will most likely never come across that ‘right’ opportunity to be the linchpin you know you can be. No one will give you the chance. competition just took your future position, your future promotion – they literally took your future. In all that you do, I challenge you to always put your best foot forward.
If you’re not being challenged – then challenge yourself. Eliminate distractions, work on yourself and further develop your skills.
Note: I would highly recommend reading Seth Godin’s Linchpin.
