- Here are five tips that I’ve found, that will work towards greater job satisfaction for you. People Need You. If you find yourself wondering why you’ re even bothering to do this work when no one seems to appreciate what you do, don’ t fret. There’ s always someone who relies on you, no matter what type of work you do. So recognize that there are those who need you to do a good job. Please don’ t let down the people who depend on you. Plan Your Day Out. At the end of your shift, decide what “major fires” need putting out tomorrow, what big things could be tackled to improve you and your company. Plan out when you’ll tackle these major issues, and then stick to that plan no matter what little embers may pop up. You need to make sure your time is your own, so that you won’ t lose it by running around aimlessly. Do something different! Consistency is a good thing to have at work. But what isn’t good to have is the same routine day after day. It drags you down, it makes you tired early in the day, and it kills any motivation you have for the job. Decide on three things that you could introduce to your work that would mix it up. Then do them! Don’ t delay in this, the longer you put it off, the more the old routines will look tempting again. Talk With Your Colleagues .Get to know your colleagues a bit better each day . Share experiences with them , and they’ll realize that you’re human too, and it’s OK to talk with each other about something other than work . The more you know about your colleagues, the more you can relate to them , and the more interesting your job becomes. Take Pride. Warren Buffett said, “There will never be a greater you than you” and he told the truth. Only you can be truly satisfied with the work you do. So take pride in this work, and see that no-one else can do the job as well as you can. Every day is a chance to do something great. So do great work, in the way that only you can.

- Each week I receive a number of calls from parents who are concerned about their adult children. Most want to know what they can do to help. Often the parent asks, "Well, I do that, but what else can I do?" "Nothing," I respond. The following silence is deafening. Most parents don’t want to believe there is nothing they can do to straighten out their adult children. One mother asked me how she could motivate her 23-year-old son to finish school. He lived at home, was sullen and uncommunicative, didn’t work, didn’t help around the house, slept all day and was on the computer or out most of the night. His parents were doing their best trying to "motivate" him. They had just bought him a car because he had convinced them he needed one so he could job hunt. His mother was cutting out job ads and strategically placing them in his room. If you want to motivate him, I suggested, give him a month to find another place to live and mean it. At some level this mother knew it was the right thing but she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. What's the problem here? This young man has never learned how to take care of himself. He’s never had to because his parents treat him like a child – and so he remains one. If parents want their children to become mature adults they need to let them embrace life, make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions. Even when it seems guaranteed the child is heading for disaster, parents have to step back, watch and pray. Parents who treat their adult children like younger children are, in effect, saying "I don’t believe you can look after yourself, so I’ll do it." The message is "we don’t trust you to run your own life." Parents were once the centre of their child’s life. How quickly that changes! But it’s so important that parents adjust to this change. Parents must embrace a long-term vision that guides them in their decisions that will help, not hinder, their child’s development into a mature person. Part of that vision is letting the child make their own age-appropriate decisions and allowing them to face the consequences. At some point, parents must let go of their children entirely. Then, how could they let go? Mothers seem to struggle with this more than fathers. Fathers often are more willing to take a "tough love" approach sooner than mothers. But tough love is necessary if we want to give our adult children the best chance of making a go of life. I suggest that parents tell their adult children how much they love them, believe in them and know they are capable of handling life with all its inherent risks, failures and successes. Let the adult kids know you’re making some changes. No more suggestions, advice or lectures. Just listen to them, let them know you understand and that you believe they will eventually sort it out. One mother asked, "What if something terrible happens?" Something terrible might happen, or it might not. There are no guarantees. Christ tells us we will have trouble in this world. We cannot prevent our children from suffering, but we can teach them how to deal with it in a proper way.
