So here’s the thing, we often make the mistake of having some kind of entitlement issues even when we are just plain lazy. This is one of the biggest mistakes we make at work. Ask yourself this, how do you expect the company to recognise you when you don’t recognise yourself? Development is one of the most important part of your growth at work. But if you don’t develop yourself first, how will you grow?

It might be cliché but hard work does pay off and when you believe in yourself and your growth, we see that light shining because it is just too bright to miss. So do yourself a favour, drive! Get up and be the driver of your own growth and development.

Success is not handed over to anyone, you need to put in the work to see results. Think about it this way, when you work hard, persevere and believe in your own grind, you encourage others to also believe in you and your capabilities. Always remember that!
