One Special Day In The Making
Make It Happen
No matter what you plan on doing
Make it count
Find little things that make you happy
Without other peoples help
That can be a tough one
For me, it is writing and dreaming
I can do fun things and show creative ideas
The skies the limit
In work, I have to listen to my boss
I get paid to do the job they want and expect
Many times my work exceeds more than other people
Most co-workers get paid the same
If they do little or more work
So they do just enough to get by
I think that is sad
They have no personal pride and feel no obligation
I was raised differently
My parents instilled the philosophy
You are getting paid to do a job
Do the best job you can
Not once and awhile
Each and every time you come to work
It is frustrating watching other people
With their poor, I don't care attitudes
I stopped watching other people
I refocus my thoughts on my family life
What I plan on doing later
Tomorrow or next week
My list is endless
When work is over
I know I did a job to the best of my ability
I can hold my head high
I have no regrets
If the day comes I don't care
It's time to find another job
I believe those people who do less
Will develop those bad habits
That will carry on
To any job they do
To their personal life and friendships and relationships
Instead of a win-win
it is a lose-lose
Not much else to say
Except make your day an exception to the rule
Over time you might teach someone else
Management might learn something too
That we are more than just an employee number and a paycheck
We are people who try to do our best
Try so hard to make things work
Giving it our best
In return, the company may succeed in the toughest of times
They are good but so are so many other companies
In today's competitive market
Not because they have the best service and quality in the world
Because they have the best people in the world
That knows the meaning of raising the bar to a new standard
Going up and beyond what peoples expectations are
Then waiting for everyone else to catch up
