What does it take to look forward to going to work everyday? This is probably one of the most common questions employees would consider when they wake up each day and have to go to work. This is usually typified in two classes, one of which is the people who love their work and people who simply want to sustain their daily needs.
While the first one needs no further explanation, their career path will always be on the right track, implying the attitude of wanting to grow and attain a certain goal and stature. Thriving for perfection will always be there and such attitude will certainly bring them places.
On the other hand, people who simply want to work for the reason that they need to earn a living may have a tougher time. The commitment is not there and the proper identification of their place in the organization, no matter how defined will never be achieved. The most common results from such is that they will forever be in that position or following the usual scenario, will eventually end up leaving the company and work for other organizations.
