More on the Work Ethic

[ailbhe]

So it seems that other people think I'm not lazy.

My friend says that I care too much about the job - whatever the job may be. That I need to learn not to care. I think she's right; I do care about getting a good job done, and I get frustrated when other people make that impossible, especially if I end up getting blamed for other people's mistakes or neglect.

So, how does one stop caring?

The trick is to tread the fine line between caring about what you do (so that you always do _your_ best), but being able to be detached about things if other people let you down. It takes a lot of learning, but it doesn't hjalf save you some heartache. As long as _you_ know that you have done _your_ best, that should be good enough... if others aren't doing _their_ best then that isn't _your_ fault.
