Thought Tweet #652 Seek the upside in ordinary tasks: seeking simple work and doing it well; knowing its link to positive outcomes.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
As the old saying goes, "There is satisfaction in a job well done."
There is more satisfaction when:
- You know the work, even if it is the most-simple of tasks, is a step toward a positive outcome and
- You do the work well.
Some people know this.
Others have to learn this.
Some have to teach this.
Leaders illustrate this by example: Mahatma Gandhi took pride in simplicity and practice of walking; Napoleon Bonaparte took pride in the science and practice of aiming cannons.
