I was intrigued by this one part in the book on pg. 209. It says:
"Indeed, the real question is not, 'why greatness?' but 'What work makes you feel compelled to try to create greatness?' If you have to ask the question, 'Why should we try to make it great? Isn't success enough?' then you're probably in the wrong line of work."
That quote from the book really stuck with me. As we are about to graduate and find what we want to do with our lives you can't help but think about this quote. I'm sure we all want to make the big bucks when we get out of here, but reality is we won't. You have to find a career that makes you happy and you want to do great things for that company. It's not enough to just go through your day-to-day life being good at your job. You must strive to be better and innovative if you want to achieve greatness as an individual and as a company. Personally I want to do great things for the company I'm going to work for. Of course I want to be noticed for the work I'm doing as an individual but maybe help fellow co-workers to have the same mindset I have as well and help achieve greatness.
Very well put. I think that is what every body is thinking. By continually proving yourself and doing great things will definitely help progress your career...Good Luck in the future!
ReplyDeleteI agree. With the company you are going to work for and the task of working with new people your success can sometimes be measured through them. So maybe you are doing all the right things, but if you can't help your co-workers succeed, how can you become great?
