No Work Beneath You

Men create problems for themselves when they view a small part of their work as dishonorable to their position. 

Aurelius Kadzius

You have your work, and then that is it. The moment you begin it, whatever it may be, your perception is skewed with visions of yourself doing the portion you love doing. 

While the job will require you to do various daily tasks you will not like. It is simple logic: not every part of the work will a man find and build his love of it.

There is the problem. It's our perception of what we will be doing and only doing that specific particular thing. Only to find out that we will not only not be shooting weapons and doing raids and missions, but we will be doing things we never thought we would be told to do in our lives. 

Attaching any thought or view that a particular task is beneath you is ridiculous, as it is to think like a child. In the beginning, anything a man chooses to do involving work will have tasks that no one is enthusiastic about. Regardless of enthusiasm, they still need to be completed.

Men are not children; I thought this way when I was young in the Marine Corps; filling sandbags is not on the recruiting poster, or building your guard posts, digging your shitter hole, stirring shit with jet fuel while it's on fire, carrying 5-gallon water jugs to your fighting whole is not the highlight real you see about Marine infantry units. Also, I never ran into that "Lava Dragon."

I write all this to emphasize that no work is beneath a man if the money deposits for his service are on time and the agreed-upon amount.

Is there work I am asked to do that I don't find any esteem in? Of course! 

When it's a job, I am not looking for esteem but maximum earning potential for myself, and for the job, I want to complete each task as it arrives.

Keep a light heart, make fun of the funny things, and then do them anyway. It is what you get paid for.

Not to mention that if you decide to begin your own business, the only phrase you should get used to repeating to yourself is

"Dig now, money later."

Edmond Dantes, - The Count of Monte Cristo

Do your work well, and don't take it personally.
