have some dignity

Sep 27, 2014 14:54

i agree with every little bit of this: http://99u.com/articles/32757/the-craftsmans-guide-to-working-with-dignity

Curiosity prevents “this worked in the past” from becoming, “this is all I know how to do.”

“You are who you are when nobody is watching.”

Without humility our own egos often fill the void that should be filled by learning and development.

Dignity means associating your self-worth with the effort placed in your work.

that last one is the hard one.
associating your self worth with the effort placed in your work.
a lot of people associate their self worth with the outcome: the perceived success or failure.
the fan base for it.

put self worth in a job done intently, focused, passionately, with care, with craftsmanship, with curiosity, with effort, with humility. these are the hard and necessary and much-more-fulfilling, authentic, and lasting things.

this helps me answer a lot of recent questions i've been asking myself about what i am doing here on this earth.


work, reading, life, thoughts, inspiration
