Remember where you came from

I have seen a lot of employees and drivers come in the door hungry and wanting to prove themselves.

They work hard and go the extra mile in order to try to impress and separate themselves from others.

They succeed and start to climb up the ladder and drivers start to make more money and gain a positive reputation.

Then a funny thing starts to happen with some of them, they forget where they came from.
Some even start to take on an attitude that the company owes them something.
The same company that hired them and or gave them an opportunity.
Yes they took the opportunity and ran with it but you never really should feel you reach a stopping point or that you are now entitled.
Those that do always start to spiral downwards and may begin to have a chip on their shoulder.

If your company paid you what was promised and allowed you growth to make more revenue and was honest with you then they do not owe you anything.

If you get complacent you get lazy and if you get lazy you become expendable.

The longer you are at a place the more you should feel you should contribute.
Take all that helped make you successful and pass it on.
Take the knowledge that you have gained and try to improve the process and procedures and help someone else climb the ladder and learn. Through that process you will continue to learn yourself .

STAY POSITIVE

Always remember where you came from.
