Your job will never be any bigger than your imagination makes it. Daniel Burnham, the turn-of-the-century architect and civic planner whose plan for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair had an enormous influence on contemporary civic design, was quoted as saying, "Make no little plans." He know that to achieve great things we must have great ideas. If you can imagine it, you can create it. And if you can create in your imagination the job that you would like to have, it is possible to create it in the real world.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

The chances are that your job likes you precisely as much as you like it, but no more. You are the world's greatest expert on your job and you can make it into what you choose. You may have a job description, but there are few jobs in the world that come with detailed instructions. A job description simply provides a foundation upon which you may build the perfect job for yourself. When you give generously to it, a job responds with full measure of satisfaction, personal growth, financial rewards, and promise for the future. If you give in a job you absolutely hate, and you have considered all the alternatives and decided that you will never like your job, find something else. But if you, like most people, you have a pretty good position, get busy making it the greatest job in the world. In your career, as in life, you get in direct proportion to what you give.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

If you have something you don't need, give it to someone who needs it. It will come back to you in one way or another. You know by now how important it is to offer service freely to your community without expecting anything specific in return. And you know as well how important are the intangible personal benefits of self-respect and inspiration that accompany such action. But it is also true that by rendering a public service you have an effect on the values in your community. Your actions are a quiet but steadfast signal to others of the importance of being involved, a sign that success does not require heartless devotion to a cause and a reminder to others of the personal satisfaction you gain from your labour. You will find that you inspire others to similar actions in different areas, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond what you alone can do. The community in which you live will become a better place, and you will be happier being a part of it.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

Do your job precisely as if you were your own boss, and sooner or later you will be.   The American system of free enterprise is based upon the premise that every individual may profit in proportion to his or her labours. In today's hectic, highly competitive, global environment, however, you may feel that you are not adequately recognised and compensated for the contribution you make. The next time you feel overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated, remind yourself that you really are in business for yourself. Your product is you! Are you the kind of employee you would like to have if you were the boss? When you are considering a difficult decision or when you are thinking about how to avoid an unpleasant assignment, ask yourself, if this were my company: How would I handle this situation? When your answer is that you would take precisely the same action you are considering as an employee, you are headed for bigger and better things. You will soon be the boss.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

Those who do no more than they are paid for have no real basis for requesting more pay because they are already getting all they deserve to earn. If you look around you, it will be apparent that there are two types of people in the world: There are those who say, "When this company decides to pay me what I'm worth, then I will do what they want me to do." The second is the person who says, "I'm going to be the best I can be because that's the kind of person I am. I also know if I consistently give more than expected, I will eventually be rewarded for my efforts." It is easy to see that the positive person contributes most to the organisation. Yet, very few people are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve success. Make sure you're a member of the group.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

Start going the extra mile and opportunity will follow you. Going the extra mile can give you insight and a good reputation, both of which attract opportunity. Many obvious opportunities are found in places no one else has bothers to venture. If you put in the extra effort to make a good project an even better one, or you get to know your equipment better than anyone else on your shift, you will see things others overlook and be in a position to make use of them. Leaders who need a job done think first of people they know who will do it well. If other who regard their jobs as drudgery.   For all the extra service that you've rendered, you'll find yourself more than amply compensated by opportunities other never grasp.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

Only those who have the habit of going the second mile ever find the end of the rainbow. It is a fact of life that most of us try and fail many times before we ultimately achieve the level of success that we desire. You can expect to travel the extra mile many times only to find fool's gold at the end of your rainbow. But you will most certainly miss out on the great riches that await you if you quit trying. A superficial commitment to doing more than expected based only on what you expect to receive will not sustain you in the long term. Great achievement results from a commitment to do the right thing regardless of the consequences, and that commitment will ultimately lead you to the pot of gold at the and of your rainbow.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article

The end of the rainbow is reached only at the end of the second mile. Christ's admonition to the faithful in Matthew 5:41: "And soever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with twain," Was in response to the Roman custom of allowing officers to force others to carry their load for a mile. The purpose of the biblical principle, similar to the idea of turning the other cheek, was to make good come from evil. You can add goodness to goodness by rendering beyond what you are asked to do. When you truly believe that the habit of going the extra mile is the only acceptable way to conduct yourself in all your dealings with others, when you are driven by a burning desire to serve your fellow man, you will rewarded both financially and personally.   Peace&Love Miti Read the full article
