As a kid, I spent most of the summer on my grandfather's farm.My grandfather worked very hard to make his small farm run well, and, ran a successful farm for thirty eight years. My brother and I helped him with chores every day when we stayed there. My dad was in the military, then, worked for the civil service for almost forty years. Both had a very strong work ethic. It was a pride thing, that was instilled in us as youngsters. My first actual job was as a dishwasher in a restaurant. It was hot, dirty, greasy work, and paid 2.00 per hr, but I earned the money for my first car that way. People who grew up in the depression years, or WW2 era, usually always had a strong work ethic. It went without saying. You worked, that's all there was to it. I still think a good work ethic is important, and, I'll always feel this way. It's not about the job you do, or, how much money you make. It's about taking some pride in being a working man. If you have or had a strong work ethic, how did you develop it?
