hmmm....
do I look at it differently? Not really. I've always given 110% in everything I've done. Going above and beyond the call helped me to excel in everything I ever did, so that part has always been with me. If anything, I've always had the right predisposition, but not always the right opportunity.
A wise man once told me, do what you love.... what you were meant to do..... and the money will eventually follow.
Another wise man once told me, no matter what you do in this world, even if it's mopping floors..... be the best fucking floor mopper there is and eventually it will be acknowledged and rewarded.
obviously no one wants to be a professional floor mopper..... but the basic concept is solid. And that's how I've always treated my work, regardless of what the actual duties were.
In a nutshell, be a fucking professional or don't do it at all. So in that regard, no... I don't look at it differently.
Has my professional (work) life evolved over the years? Certainly. Would I go back to day one if my very first boss that I worked for at $3.35 an hour came knocking tomorrow? Hell no. So in that regard, it's all boiled down to just another brutally obvious dumb question.
But I'm assuming you're looking at it all from a perspective of "this shit is gravy compared to slingin' hash at Burger King and woohoo! Yay for me!"..... and that's the wrong comfort zone to fall into.
Nothing good ever comes easy. Due diligence must be paid. :2 cents:
