Work Ethic
Work Ethic seems to be universally accepted as one of the most important factors contributing to one’s success. The harder you work – the more successful you’ll be. “Do a bunch by lunch…be a winner by dinner!” ~ Unknown.
And in this day and age, with so many things spiraling out of control and leaving us in tougher and tougher economic situations, it can feel good to get a grip and take charge over at least one aspect of our current situation that can have a significant impact on our future success. Although not necessarily easy to control, with the right mindset, the right map, and the right mantra you’re sure to get to where you want to be a heck of a lot faster than from laying down, eating leftovers, watching Law and Order: SVU.
Remember, “The most practical, beautiful, workable philosophy in the world won’t work – if you won’t.” ~ Unknown.
According to American Thinker, there is no precise formal definition of “work ethic,” but it certainly includes the following traits (omitted are obvious ones like honesty and not doing drugs).
- Punctuality – arriving promptly and otherwise being there when needed.
- Reliability – performing one’s job, rain or shine, even when tempted to be elsewhere.
- Diligence – tenaciously sticking to it and avoiding the lures of wasteful socializing or daydreaming.
- Agreeableness – getting along with fellow employees or customers regardless of personal feelings.
- Abiding by the rules – whether about personal appearances or performing tasks properly, all rules are to be obeyed.
- Ambition – a willingness to improve performance, acquire new skills, and try to be a better employee as a matter of principle even if not immediately rewarded.
In addition these qualities have also been cited as being important in a good work ethic:
- Integrity
- Sense of Responsibility
- Emphasis on Quality
- Discipline
- Sense of Teamwork
