The Impact of Work Ethic

The town was dark. Rain hit the windows of the taxi, making the man in the backseat very tired. He leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes, knowing full well he wouldn't actually be able to sleep. He would be getting out soon, anyway. The taxi passed street after street, and even without his eyes being open he knew exactly where he was. The taxi came to a slow stop. He paid the driver, got out and watched as the car drove away. After he could no longer see the lights he turned around and walked into the apartment building.

It was a dark, cold and generally gloomy September night. There were footsteps all through the street. Laughter and smiles from the children of the orphanage. It was nothing new, the children made the environment around them their home. Little Annie with the bluest of eyes was sitting on the old trash can watching two older boys from the boys home. Johnny jumped mid air for the ball, and it grazed right between his hands into the alley behind them. With a look of terror, he entered the alley. It was very dark and nothing could be seen; he noticed the ball had rolled into the corner so he set off in that direction. He reached his hand out for the ball, and suddenly he heard a huge thud from behind the bush. Moments later Annie started to worry because he has not returned. She took a deep breath and jumped down. There was no one in sight as she entered the alley. The alley was filled with a breathtaking odor.

The historical origins of the traditional American work ethic are not what many think it and it has evolved through the years. The idea of work ethic is based on the value of hard work and diligence. During the 1960s work ethic was different from the work ethic we think of today, but how can this be?

n the middle of the second semester that is when it hit. The laziness and an excessive wearing of track shorts and sweatpants, and the over-sized T-shirts. Mrs. Rado demanded that I see her after class to have a “talk” and we all know what that means. When teachers want to tell you have a bad work ethic and need to start doing better or you will be guaranteed a failing grade. In order to teach me a lesson Mrs. Rado sent me four mentors with the hope that I would change my ways. Krogstad, Beowulf, Hamlet, and Elizabeth Proctor lawyer strolled into the classroom where I met them before the lessons began. Krogstad was an intelligent, tall man who dressed in a business suit. Beowulf had shoulder length, golden hair, and wore his gladiator armor.

was raised by my parents to never lose sight of my goals and to always have a positive work ethic. My parents were born in India and they moved to Canada in hopes that their children could have a better life. They work hard everyday so that my siblings and I do not have to quit school like they did. My greatest eye opening experience was when I started working with my mother as a general factory worker in grade ten. The working conditions were very tough in which we stood for long hours and we had to be constantly working quickly. I met many great women and men who were new immigrants and heard their struggles in their birth country. However, despite all of the pressure they were thankful for their job and to be living in Canada. At the young

Interesting topic. I literally had this discussion a few weeks ago at my workplace. In my current career we are having a hard time to find good reliable people and I have experienced what you have discussed with trying to fill a position. I believe the work ethic begins at home. I am an young millienal, but my work ethic do not fit the stereotype given to millennials. My family are dairy farmers and we raise tobacco so I learned at a young age what hard work is and how important it is to be reliable and dependable. In order for my family to be successful farmers everybody had to do their share and I was taught what was expected of me. Now that I live in the city I see a lot of individuals not caring or having good work ethic mainly due to being

Hard work sets the people who only have natural intelligence and the successful people apart. I believe my work ethic distinguishes me from other people with similar abilities. I know that it is necessary to overachieve and put in maximum effort to reach success in school, and in life. My ability to challenge myself, my passion for science, and the way I will continue to utilize my potential separates me from my peers of the same intelligence.

In the United states, the top 10% makes approximately $90,000 more than the average American (The New York Times.). A controversial belief regarding that wage gap revolves around the idea that people are only capable of joining the top 10% of wage earners when they are born into wealthy families themselves. However, others would argue that with enough hard work and continuity almost anyone in America could earn wages far higher than any of their predecessors. After all, the American Dream is to come from an average or poor family and make something more for oneself. Many people have given up hope in that dream believing that the only way to get ahead is to have the right connections

A few traits that employers seem to be looking for in possible hires is that they have a strong work ethic, are eager to gain knowledge in their field and that they have proper communication skills.

Work behaviour can be classified as a ‘formal’ behaviour used within employment and business organisations in comparison to alternative forms of human behaviour. For example a lawyer may be more conservative and have far more constraints in their work behaviour in comparison to a chef (Clegg, Kornberger & Pitsis, 2015).

I always used to hear people say that you’ll learn from the mistakes that you made when you were younger. I have come to find out how true that statement really is. It has only been a short time since the start of my junior year, but I feel like I have learned so much since then. I often realize the foolishness that I committed last year. There are so many things I would have done differently if I could have seen what was coming for me in the future. I believe that the future holds all answers to the past which of course, cannot be changed. About my personality, the only thing I would want to tell myself is do what makes you happy. About my work ethic, I would tell myself to just get it done and to make sure you know what motivates you.
