There was a team of 2 people, who used to build houses for a living. They worked together for almost every project. (For the sake of the story lets name them Gary and Jones). Gary used to go get the jobs, and Jones used to build the houses. Jones was so good at building houses, that Gary never had to inspect them before delivery. They continued this for many years, till Jones said "Hey Gary! I can't do this anymore, I'm done with building houses, and now I need to retire." Jones was hoping Gary would listen to him and let him retire, but he didn't. Gary said "Jones, I can't let you retire just yet. I have one last job we need to do, and then you are free to retire." Jones was totally annoyed. He just didn't have any heart left in him for the jobs. Since it was his last job, he went ahead and did it, but without heart. For the heck of it, he finished that job, with messy fittings, a bad paint job, and uneven fencing around the house. Jones went back to Gary in his office, and said "Here you go, its all done." and handed over the keys of the house to Gary. Gary smiles back at him and says "Great!" and hands him the keys back and says "Jones, its your home now. A gift from me to you for working for us so long."
Moral of the story: Whatever you do, do it with you heart, because its got your name on it.
It can be anything, anywhere, just put your heart into it, because its got your name on it. It can be a paid job or a non paid job, my passion and my dedication towards it shouldn't change. Why? Because its got your name on it. Your name is what you are. People remember you by your name, and you need to make sure your name is remembered in a good way. At the end of the day, everything you do has your name on it. I always try to give it all I have, and yes, sometimes you loose motivation, but thats when you need to tell yourself, that look, its GOT MY NAME ON IT. I can't repeat this enough, but this is what it is. Whatever field you are in, you need to remember that you represent your name, which is a brand. No matter how small or big, its your name, and everything you do, HAS YOUR NAME ON IT. So go ahead and nail everything, anything everytime you do.
