2. Passion

-A painter who is paid on a daily rate does not habitually miss work or exceed a deadline.
-A painter who does a shoddy work cannot be recommended.

-Exercise power that is far beyond what is vested in your employment. Assume more power than people thought you deserve. It is easier to adjust downward than upward.
-Demonstrate the virtue of your human ingenuity and authority.
-Take appropriate action. Powerlessness is indeed a state of mind.
-You have probably noticed that people who joint an organization and demand to change the carpet in their office, walk with an element of “pride”, demand their rights etc are most often the people who perform well in their positions.
