When you do something worth doing, do it with a Bang! At any job that you do, there will always be good people, bad people and just people. Take a look at the guy next to you. Is that the person you want to be like?

It does not matter how insignificant your job is, how unsatisfied you are with your job or how little your job means to you. If your job is to clean toilets, clean it like your life depends on it. Clean it like you are going to eat your dinner on the toilet seats. Bang! If you are writing software, write it like it is the heart of a nuclear power plant. Put the bang! in your software so the power plant does not go bang!

Look back at the day you first started your job. What was it about the job which made you excited about it? Bring that feeling back. This is not to say do not quit, but do not forget why you started. Work like you are still on probation, and need to put that bang! in everything you are doing.

It all comes down to your work ethics. Do you have the traits, characteristics and strength of character that makes you do your work and be worth the dollar you are paid? When you go home at the end of the day, ask yourself whether that day you earned the money you got paid, or you bludged and fumbled through the day. Did you come to work late today? Leave too early? Took a longer lunch? Extended coffee breaks? And did you make up for these lost hours?

I’ll say this again. Anything worth doing, it’s worth doing with a bang! The universe was created that way (after all it IS called The Big Bang), and last time I checked, I had to agree that it was worth it.
