Reflections 2

The last couple of chapters have been pretty interesting. In chapter 7 we discussed motivation in the work environment. If you have a job that isnt exciting or interesting then you are more likely to not be motivated to do your best. I can attest to this from personal experience. I have had jobs where all I was doing was sitting in an office doing paperwork. I couldnt stand it, I was bored all day everyday. Im an outdoors kind of guy, being born and raised on a ranch all I have ever known is working outside using my hands to fix fences, feed livestock, or plant fields. Sitting in an office and counting the number of ceiling tiles doesnt really appeal to me. I need some scenery to look at. I like to work up a sweat and get dirty and be able to see my accomplishments at the end of the day. Because of all of the things that interested me I was able to keep my motivation very high while on the ranch.
