ATTITUDE TO WORK
What is work?
Work is the activity which a person performs regularly in order to provide goods or services and earn a living.
People who work make things happen. They solve problems and get paid for doing so.
Our attitude to work
- We must learn to do a particular kind of work. We can do this by going to a school. We can learn a trade by learning directly from those who know and practise the trade.
- We must learn to do our work with skill.
- We must arrive at work early, even if we are self-employed.
- We must work hard in order to get the best results.
- We should get the kind of job we love doing. We would find it easy to work hard and do our best if we love what we do.
