Warning: this post may contain writing hazardous to lazy attitudes! Why is that a much too large percentage of the workforce is scared to take a white-knuckled kung-fu grip on the reigns of their career? This, an often thought question in my mind, has bobbed along on the meniscus of my consciousness for years.

Now, everyone incurs times of need in which the help of others is necessary. Just today, for instance, an associate and I had to put our heads together for several hours in order to complete a rather difficult coding task. This is a healthy, natural, productive way to pool resources. Sitting around day after day, barely making an effort to advance an employer’s mission is not.

“Good lordy this guy is as tough as nails today… what gives?”

Please understand that I, known to you as “ModWork’r”, understand that my opinion and perspective on life and the workplace may not align with varied opinions and perspectives of other professionals and quasi-professionals, but hey, thus is the cornucopia of life we all dig, right? Perhaps.

If in fact reasoning should be laid out (and it probably should) for my stance on the mediocre crowd that gums up the gears of business and public service, it shall be disclosed. Quite honestly, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many top-notch people who are steadfast in their fervent dedication to whatever challenge is introduced before them. For this, I am thankful and appreciative. I would, however be lying if I said I have not had to supervise and motivate some wet shoelaces.

What I’m striking at on the hot iron (aka “blog”) is, that the focus to bring about successful qualities and dedication lies within everyone. And by that, I truly mean everyone. I’ve seen the potential brimming at the seams of hes and shes gone by, and always hope that the sound advice and direction I served up will stick to them. If only a little bit, then to help them to consistently take that next step forward in being a respectable, productive member of the greatest economy on this planet.
