This is Why it is So Important to do the Best Job You Can
Are you doing the best job you can for your clients? For your family? For your employer? For yourself? While it is impossible to be the best at something all the time, it is very possible to strive to be the best.
We know that having this as a goal, even if we or others do not necessarily want to do what it takes at the moment to achieve it, can keep us on track in the long term. It is our duty to help the people that matter to us to stay on track, not by preaching or condemning, but by being a great example as much as we can.
While it is true that you cannot force people to be their best all the time, demonstrating that you are willing to try to do it can go a very long way to helping them reach what they are striving for, even if they want to do something different.
It is also your duty as a good service provider to do the best job that your clients are expecting and paying your for. It is also your duty as a good employee. Of course, your family is incredibly important and doing the best job for others must include the goal of doing the best for them as well.
If you set this standard for excellence in dealing with others, it is inevitable that you will personally hold yourself to a much higher standard as well, and personally reap the rewards from the work that you have done for others.
Doing the best job as much as possible then becomes, not just a matter of work ethic and duty, but your identity.
