Work requires professionalism, at all times in all set of conditions. let an earned knowledge and skills, an asset to be utilized as maximal. no regrets even if reward is scare, go ahead do it for the love of work.
People around need not to be told, everyone knows who perform well. real professional does not brag, seldom claims for recognition. open-minded to a paradigm shift, never pessimistic but often optimistic at anything of value and substance. let others rationalize to find reasons, act on the issues with sound mind no jesting around just do things right.
