One thing I have come to realise in my working life is that no matter how hard I tried, how much effort I put in, most companies or should I say the people who worked for companies just didn't care. I have alway put in 110% into anything I do, that is just me, yet why am I the one who always ends up having to leave a job? the answer is simple..that lazy dogodders are the ones who get promoted and the hard workers are the ones who get frustrated and leave! (read my chapter on lazy work do gooders on my moralminded page) stay because they just do what has always been done, they love the comfort of not going beyond the same.

Before this dog was beaten and stood on, this is how I used to be.....
I prefered jobs that caused curiosity about the nature of things and about "what makes things tick". My motivational levels highest where activities allowed thinking focused on the inquisitive, exploratory, analytical, and experimental. I prefered not to read and follow, I prefered to experiment then lead. I dislike others who claim greatness from following what has been done before.
I regarded myself as talented, self-sufficient, and goal-oriented. I demonstrated independence in two ways:
1) Motivated to manage own operational, technical, professional, scientific, without management or involvement (unless working in a team where I tried to be a team player)
2) Manage the skills and abilities of others, personally but objectively, as "utility" in the process of getting things done. My prime driving force is to utilize what is at hand to accomplish occupational objectives. That could be done exclusively with my own talents and skills, or it could include applying the talents and skills of others. If it includes management of people, they are expected, perhaps even required, to perform at quality skill levels.
I was naturally motivated to put physical abilities and natural talents, whatever they may be, into immediate use in given situations calling on immediate responses. I was conscious of my mental ability and relied on my subconscious to jump into action to accomplish tasks. I prefered activities where agility, timing, rhythm, and ability with immediate functions, meaning that I prefered to practice something until it become second nature. I was somewhat a perfectionist and very hard on myself if I got things wrong.
I was interested in and consciously prefer to consider the existence, meaning, purpose, potential, and destiny of mankind, people, persons, and self; with self-felt, self-accepted responsibility to influence and/or cause good, growth, and gain in the lives of all concerned. I had intuition and philosophical curiosity that caused an awareness of personalities, intentions, emotions, ethics, values, and moods of other persons, and of myself, I was and still am highly in-tune with my emotional senses.
I was motivated toward activities involving mechanical engineering, including:
1) Mechanical awareness of assembly, fabrication, operation, leverage, motion, force, and power,
2) Design and/or draw technical plans,
3) Technical, statistical, and numerical analysis, and
4) Layout and installation. This highly motivated engineering orientation probably means professional dedication to a major engineering vocation.
I was highly motivated when given the task of identifying factors that are important for occupational use. This trait, comparing includes:
1) Awareness of the context (big picture) in which the factor or factors would or could fit;
2) Relationship of the factors to other factors within that larger context;
3) New possibilities of linkage or relationships of factors to the big picture; and/or
4) New possibilities of linkage or relationships of factors with factors in a new context. (NOTE: This is an important trait for research, technical activities, systems engineering, operations management, sourcing and administrative activity).
The preferences in my mind tend to be oriented toward systems engineering: identifying, analysing, and solving challenges and/or problems by collecting data, establishing facts, connecting abstract and concrete variables, drawing valid conclusions, determining appropriate actions, and devising strategies and systems to achieve objectives.
And lastly was very competitive. Nothing is as good as it should be or could be, Since my first job digging holes to planting trees from picking fruit, to working on systems to improve traffic flow for QLD government to inventing all sorts of things, I was in constant competition with myself to better myself from the last thing I’d done.
But all I am now is a worn out person who gave to much but got little in return. All those things that I have done to make others better off, has in a way, made me worse off.
