10 Things that Require 0 Talent
I was cleaning out an office of someone that had left the company and made an interesting discovery. She had a printed picture of a sign that someone drew on the whiteboard. The title was 10 Things That Require Zero Talent.
- Being on Time
- Work Ethic
- Effort
- Body Language
- Energy
- Attitude
- Passion
- Being Coachable
- Doing Extra
- Being Prepared
Needless to say, this picture is now pinned to the wall next to my desk. I wonder how much better jobs would go at work if everyone tried to accomplish those things every day. I know some of the union guys struggle with Being on Time, Effort, and Doing Extra every day. My job would be 10x easier at least if everyone that worked me made an effort at doing even one of the things on the list every day.

One of my goals for the rest of the year is to try to work harder in these areas. I'd like to work harder here on Steemit, on my job, and at home for my wife and family. The two I struggle with at work is Attitude and Passion. It's hard to work on stuff that breaks every day to be told do more with less or to get it completed faster with fewer resources.
Of the 10 which do you think you're the best at? Which do you think you're the worst? Let me know in the comments down below.
I have copied that list and i will put it on my wall tomorrow.Its a good summary.
I'd like to think that I have several things that I am best at, without seeming arrogant.
I am 99.9% of the time - on time. I have a great attitude because that is the way I want to be greeted by my colleagues... it makes working together so much more pleasant among other things. I put 100% into things that I do because my name is attached to it and why do anything halfway?
I guess anyone could improve any one of these things because I don't know a soul who is perfect, but it is a great list and I am copying it down to look at so that I do NOT become complacent enough to think I am doing well enough.
Thanks for this reminder and I hope things get a little bit better for you!
