Whatever you do, wherever and whenever you do it, take pride in your work.
· Whoever you are,
· What you do matters.
· But more importantly,
· How you do it matters too.
I was a kid when Ford Frick was commissioner of baseball back when it was America’s pastime. Athletes in the 50’s were bigger than life, proudly working to win games and championships for their fans. They were all about teamwork, not personal glory. Many people watch sports and, in my opinion, the best players inspire us to work hard and to have pride in ourselves and what we do. In every walk of life, there are people like that, whose personal integrity and pride make them role models. That’s what everyone should aspire to. And the best way to achieve that is to take pride in your work at all times. Whether it’s a big play in a crucial game or a routine task in your daily life, pride in your work matters. People who have that are the ones you want to work for and work with. Whether you’re a champion ball player, a supervisor on the floor, or an hourly worker, always take pride in your work. That’s how to succeed in whatever you do today.
Ford Frick (1894 – 1978): American sportswriter and baseball executive. He was the third Commissioner of Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1951 to 1965.
