More Than A Job
A job is a serious commitment. You spend more time working than you spend breathing, so it's a good idea to make sure you have a plentiful oxygen supply next to your desk.
Extract from the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers:
Law 15 - Crush your Enemy Totally - All great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. (Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.) If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smolders, a fire will eventually break out. More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation: The enemy will recover, and will seek revenge. Crush him, not only in body but in spirit.
Your job is important to you. You wouldn't leave your wallet lying around for someone else to pick up, so why treat your job any other way? And don't forget, if you leave your job in a parked car in the hot sun, open the window a crack.
