It is easy to fool yourself. It is more difficult to fool the people you work for. It is still more difficult to fool the people you work with. And it is almost impossible to fool the people who work under your direction.

Forget yourself in your work. If your employer sees that you are more concerned about your own interests than about his, that you are fussy about getting credit of every little or big thing you do, then you are apt to be passed by when a responsible job has to be filled…. Don’t worry about how big an increase in your salary you can contrive to get. Don’t let your mind dwell on money at all, if you can help it. Throw yourself, body, soul, and spirit, into whatever you are doing…. The truth is that in every organization, no matter how large or how small, someone is taking notice of any employee who shows special ability.
