YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO MORE THAN YOU ARE PAID FOR....

.....BUT YOU CAN PUSH YOURSELF AHEAD MIGHTY FAST BY DOING IT VOLUNTARILY.

Initiative is that exceedingly rare quality that prompts-no, impels-a person to do what ought to be done without being told. It's also a commodity upon which the world places great value. Initiative will immediately set you apart from the competition, whether you are an entrepreneur, a professional services provider, a corporate staffer, or an hourly worker. Your boss, your clients, or your customers will notice you and come to depend upon you because you have shown yourself to be a person who can be counted upon always to do the right thing.

I agree with you.  My son tries to do the least amount possible to get the job done and it drives me crazy.  I tell him winner's do what losers won't to try to motivate him.  Perhaps I should sho him your blog :)

Dawn - doesn't he get tired of doing things more than once because it wasn't done right?  Someone said, we continue to repeat Live's Lessons until we finally get what the lesson is.  Much easier to be happy with ourselves and doing a good job instead of making it half way.  Good luck!

It is not about me , it is all about Him. How do I reflect my Savior's love?
