You are a master; you take your obligations at work seriously. If you work for someone else, you are being paid and you are honor bound actually to work hard for that person or company. Work hard more than half the time you are on the clock and you will shine in comparison to your peers. Work full time and you will be twice as productive. You should get the raises and the promotions. You should be indispensable with your superiors thinking that losing you would be a major blow to the company. This becomes your power, leverage to use. As a valued employee, you earn the right to be audacious. If your hard work is not acknowledged and appreciated by management, they lose. Find other employment.
In some employment situations, you are boxed in. If you are a city bus driver, you work under a union contract. As a hard worker, you might make $20 an hour. If you are a lazy slacker, you make the same $20 an hour. If the contract says that bus drivers make$20 an hour, then all bus drivers make the same salary.
As a bus driver or a postal worker or a soldier or a police officer or a teacher, you have a good job with a reliable income. But, is this enough to reach your financial goals? What are your choices to improve your income? You could work overtime, become a supervisor or become a union rep. You might consider using your driving expertise to start a part-time limo service. Perhaps, you can earn a college degree at night and start a transportation consulting business with a specialty in bus safety, terrorism against buses or bus maintenance. Figure it out. You are a thinking person of action.
Consider that as a strong individualist, you may not fit in or want to work in a team environment of shared reward. Some masters make great leaders. Some masters succeed as lone wolves, sole-proprietors.
