In today’s world, pride in performance has fallen by the wayside because it requires effort and hard work. However, noting happens unless it is made to happen. When one is discouraged, it is easy to look for shortcuts. These, however, should be avoided not matter how great the temptation. Pride comes from within, it is what gives the winning edge.
Pride in performance does not reflect ego. It represents high standards of performance with humility. The quality of the work and the quality of the worker are inseparable. Halfhearted effort does not produce half result, it produces no results.
Excellence comes when the performer takes pride in doing his best. Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it, regardless of what the job is, whether washing cars, sweeping the floor or painting a house.
Do it right the first time, every time. The best insurance for tomorrow is a job well done today.
Most people forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well it was done.
The felling of a job well done is reward in itself. It is better to do small things well than do many things poorly
