ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
Attitude they say determines your altitude, which simply interprets, where you would get to in life. I come across persons in paid employment without an enviable work ethic. This persons do not take work seriously, they come late to work, never display a sense of ownership and responsibility. Inasmuch as I agree that an employee is never paid the true worth of his effort in a paid employment, it is still important that the right attitude is displayed. There have been times when I feel my achievements are underplayed, my efforts are not recognized and in these instances I was close to allowing mediocrity set in. But one would realize that there is only two option- either you get out and get another job or see reason to be happy with your current job.
Attitude is so important to the extent that a good attitude can become a habit. You really cannot give what you don’t have, if you find it hard to be good in a paid employment when you own your own job you would most likely be worse off. Good attitude won’t just “fall on you”, trying to mimic Davido( a Nigerian singer). If you can’t get to work 8am under an employer, then if it is your company you won’t get to work till 4pm- imagine the fate of that company. Hence, no matter how annoying it is, while under paid employment we need to develop the right attitude to enable us build the kind of company we would like to own personally.
