My Personal Work Ethics

A powerful influence on how I see and experience things around me is noticing people’s work ethics. Someone work ethic shows a lot about what I think of them and changes how I interact with them. Growing up, my parents always worked and at the end of the day would talk about what they did that day.

I always thing that if I was in their place what I would be doing. It makes me want to interfere, but I have found out that people accept my help better if I don’t tell them what to do but question some of their ideas on what they are
