๐ด. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ: As long as you’re trading time for money, work will be something to endure. Don’t resign yourself to a transactional existence.
๐ณ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ: If you find yourself playing gotcha with your employer, you either need to find a new employer or ask yourself whether your opening bid should be trust. Be skeptical, have high standards, but don’t cross over into cynicism.

Spend your days questioning the last three promotions and the thieves will have made off with your joy. In the long run, good things happen to great teammates who kick ass and take names.
๐ฑ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ I๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ: If you’re worried about getting found out, say goodbye to having fun. Life’s way too short to live in fear. The sooner you recognize no one has it all figured out, the more chances you’ll take, the more you can be yourself, and the more fun you’ll have.
๐ฐ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐-๐๐ผ๐ป’๐-๐ก๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ-๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ-๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ: If you don’t invest in relationships, the best of times will feel hollow. Even more important, you won’t have anyone to help you through the tough times. It’s clichรฉ, but people make everything worthwhile. That’s not less true when you swipe your badge at work.
๐ฏ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐บ: Spend your days collecting grievances, and you’ll spend your nights complaining aboutโฆ wellโฆ everything. Victims don’t win. They also don’t have much fun. Retain your agency.

๐ญ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ก๐ผ๐-๐ ๐-๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐: Do only what’s in your job description and accept that you’re a cog in the machine. It will suck your soul. Ask yourself: Are you laying bricks or building a cathedral?
What would you add?
