The Habit of Doing More Than Paid For
Here is one of the most important tenants of this philosophy: A person is most efficient, and will more quickly succeed and easily succeed, when engaged in work that he or she loves, or work that he or she performs for someone they love.
When the element of love enters any task, the quality of the work improves and the quantity increases.
When engaged in work that you love it is no hardship to do more and better work than you are paid for; for this very reason you owe it to yourself to find the work you like the best.
There are many reasons to do more than you are paid for, but two stand out:
First, by establishing a reputation as someone who performs more and better work than paid for, you benefit by comparison with competitors who rarely show such commitment.
Second, out of resistance comes strength. By performing more and better service than paid for, you not only develop your skill and ability but also command greater compensation than the majority who do not perform such a service.
Try this experiment: For the next six months commit to rendering useful service to at least one person every day,for which you neither expect nor accept monetary pay. Go at this experiment with the faith that it will prove to you one of the most powerful laws of success: you succeed best
and quickest by helping others to succeed.
