#233: Timeless energy

Do you think that you were hired for your skill, your experience or your knowledge? Are you paid by the hour and so think that you are hired for your time at work?

Well, think again. You are hired for your energy. Without your energy, your experience and knowledge will remain untapped. Without your energy, your time at work will be wasted.

I find it strange that so many managers still don’t realize that your willingness to use your energy is far more important than your physical presence, your experience or your knowledge. I would rather work with someone who knows little but is willing to find out than with someone who knows a lot but is too tired to use it or to share it.

Don’t leave your energy at home. Bring it to work. You cannot change time, but you can change how you use your energy. And if you do, then your experience of time will change.
