The Rocco Effect - Take Pride In Your Job

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples - Mother Teressa

When we feel our work is meaningless, we feel meaningless.  When we feel our work is important, we feel important. Meaning means even on bad days, you can find pride in what you're doing.

The meaning I took from previous my jobs

Security - I was protecting people.  I made sure others could enjoy their nights.  I learned how to defuse and prevent fights. 

Retail - I learned the importance of making sure customers leave happy.  I learned sales techniques. I helped make it easier for people to get what they needed.

Comics - I don't get paid for this so these are all about meaning.  I solidify my knowledge when simplifying lessons for the comics. I help others live happier lives.  1 provide a framework to help others grow.
