"The trouble with good advice is that it usually interferes with your plans." - Traditional
This morning, I will attempt to do something different, but equally
impacting. As the heading suggests, it's going to be a compendium of
advice. A traditional proverb says, "Good advice is what your own
children disregard, but save to give to their children." How revealing.
At work, never bring your boss a problem without some solution: you're
getting paid to think, not to whine. Long hours don't mean anything;
results count, not effort. Write down ideas; they get lost like good
pens.
Always ensure you arrive work thirty minutes before your boss. Help other people at work, when you can - what goes around comes around. Don't take 'sick-days' unless you're truly sick.
ASSUME no one can, or will keep a secret. Have an answer to the question, "What would I do if I lost my job tomorrow?" Avoid working on the weekends - work longer during the week if you have to - home time should be family time.
Never in your life say," It's not my job." Be loyal to your career, your interests and yourself. Understand the skills and abilities that set you apart and hone them. Forget each kindness you do as soon as you have done it. Remember every promise you made, and keep it to the letter. Remember those who lend you aid and be a grateful debtor. Remember all the happiness that comes your way in living. Forget each worry and distress; be hopeful and forgiving. Accept good advice, and work with them.
