I was chatting with my dad the other day. He’s a good man. I often feel like his clone. We look the same, we act the same, we walk the same, we’re even as reserved as each other. It’s pretty cool. My similarity to him often makes me seek his counsel.

There where certain situations at work that I was not happy with. To be specific, my boss was giving me a hard time because I was making too many mistakes. This was due to the fact that we where missing personnel, so I was doing twice the work. This made me want to quit, because it just wasn’t fair. So I talked to father.

He said, “Always try NOT to quit your job. It’s hard to get one you know. If you feel you want to quit ask this question before doing it, ‘Is it something that I have to improve on my part?’ If the answer is yes, then don’t quit.” This got me thinking, and I concluded that I COULD improve my performance. So I did, and all was well.

Wise words from Dad.
