I taught my children two rules to live by.
1. Life isn’t fair.
2. If you have a job, do it to the very best of your ability.
(Regardless of whether you like it or not)

My dad told me 4 things when I was young.

Son, life isn’t fair and the sooner you learn that the better off you’ll be.

People don’t care how you feel, they care what you think. (Wish that was still true)

Give a man $1.10 worth of effort for every dollar you’re paid, and you’ll never want for a job. (Not sure that’s still true)

Treat everyone you meet with the same respect you’d expect. They will soon show you if they deserve it, don’t deserve it or deserve more.

* and if you don’t like the job, or don’t want to do it. Do a bad job and you won’t be asked to do it again.😄😉
