If It's Worth Doing Well... with Attention and Integrity!
⁘ “Whatever that you're doing. Doing it properly? Investing your heart and mind to it? Some pride, some integrity, in both your process and your accomplishments. If you cut corners, you're sabotaging yourself. "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well." The classic source adds, "and nothing can be done well without attention". Do it for your own sake.”
Whatever that you're doing.
Are you doing it properly?
Investing your heart and mind to it
to the best of your ability?
The underlying assumption here being that
there is a point and a direction to what you're doing.
If not, then why would you bother?
We're talking about the ethics of work.
Some pride, some integrity,
in both your process and your accomplishments.
If you're one of those people who take it easy,
like to cut corners, landing at barely good enough,
then you are sabotaging yourself.
You're depriving yourself
from the peace and satisfaction of a job well done.
There's the maxim, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well."
The classic source from 1746 by an earl to his son adds,
"and nothing can be done well without attention".
Actually get into the zone of what you're doing.
Focus, pay attention.
Otherwise, how will it ever be done well?
Do it for your own sake,
for your own transformation.
