Work Ethic: You Have to Do Something About It

If you firmly want to change procrastination about yourself you have to be able to acknowledge that change needs to be done in order to be successful. Simply saying that you are going to change the following school year and "try harder" is not going to cut it. It has to be within yourself and only you can really change your work ethic. As an immigrant to Canada the school system from my home country is very different. Throughout high school I focused on adapting to the school system and try to do well within the areas I need improvement on. Among my group of friends I had the lowest average among them and was constantly teased about even the thought of post-secondary school. My average was around the 60's range. I entered post secondary school and by the time the first semester finished my average jumped into the 80's and some in the 90's. I only dreamed of being an A student, but I changed my work ethic and rather talking about doing this and that. I let my actions do the talking. 

The Business World 

Canada is a very diverse country. It's worker force is made up of different backgrounds from all over the world who bring a cultural mosaic to the country. Having different backgrounds, means having different work habits and the way of understanding certain concepts compared to others. Having a good work ethic and being able to fulfill the tasks given onto you is really beneficial to the company and displays a good character image of yourself to everyone around. 

Procrastinator of the Day: Leonardo da Vinci 

Famous for his painting of the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci is the biggest procrastinator of all! da Vinci is a very knowledgeable man and studied in different areas such as engineering, architecture, biology, physics, math. But he never finished anything on time. Did you know the Mona Lisa took 16 years to paint!
