things about working here. It would take a lot to get me to leave

through a small act of kindness or unforgettable engagement, you
can turn even routine encounters into special memories. Lending a
helping hand, giving a word of encouragement and offering to listen
suggest that you are sensitive to the needs and feelings of
others.

potential. Be Present! Being there is a great way to fight burnout
and create focus so that you do not keep juggling the things that
wear you out. Giving 110% to the task at hand demonstrates
cooperation among group members, shows enthusiasm and dedication to
the project and says that you care.

attitude that is not what you want, choose a new one!
