Short Straw

Everything starts on the inside. If you think you are going to be a success, then you can be a success.

Did you draw a short straw, meaning that you received an assignment that everyone else is happy and relieved they did not get?

If you did, make sure your attitude is positive about the assignment and think about how good you can make the assignment and make it an assignment that everyone else wants in the future.

If you need some extra incentive, your bosses and coworkers should have extra respect for you when you complete the assignment within the time constraints and under budget.

Make someone's day and perform a random act of kindness. Someone may have drawn the short straw and really need it.
