Servants and Guests

      
I once heard someone say, "In a household, servants have keys to certain doors guests don't have access to." It is a profound truth. A couple of people come to the workplace with a "guest mentality" - too full of themselves to get off their high horse, they suffer some form of indigestion .. chuckle@#.. and the cure to that is to eat humble pie!
They never really get the best out of the work environment in terms of referrals, experience, promotion and necessary skill sets. They feel they are to be served; ever complaining about salaries, working conditions and what hasn't been done for them. Sad thing is, these types don't last.

Servants however, know that they are there to make things work - to add value in some way to something or someone.
Servants are there to make contribution. Guests have an entitlement mentality.
Servants are there to cause profit to occur. Guests incur cost.
Servants host. Guests are to be hosted.
Servants are part of the household. A guest's days are numbered in a household.

You can choose how you'd approach work today - as a servant or a guest!! Have a productive week.
