Show WORKERS AND WORKERS. Many people regard work as a penalty, as something irksome. irk-some. They think it a sort of punishment. They work because be-cause they must, and do as little work as they can. At closing time, at most places which employ large numbers, num-bers, you can see the workers who deserve promotion and those who do not. A few will drop their work on the tick of the clock, heedless of whether their day's work is completed or not; while some will go for a few minutes, finishing what they are doing. Many workers seem to regard themselves as slaves. Tliey seem to think in slave fashion. These folks create their own slavery. They lack ambition. Any worker, no matter how small his job, can win the respect and good will of his superiors by taking a keen interest in his work. The workers who get ahead are those who do something to improve their position once in awhile something they are not paid for and do their job better than the boss expects them to do it. This is a secret of promotion and is the reason rea-son back of what is called "good luck." Edson R. Waite. ' rt |
