The world is filled with people who are prepared to do no more than the absolute minimum necessary to get by. Do you want to be happy in your work? Do you want to experience promotion and financial reward? If so, you’re going to have to consistently do more than is expected of you; get more done than is required; and bring more excellence to your work than the minimum standards demand. This is what Jesus meant when He said, “If someone compels you to go one mile, go with him two miles.” That’s where we get the phrase, “going the extra mile.” Jesus taught us to exceed the expectations of those we work for. It’s an important key to finding happiness on the job. —– An excerpt from Mac Hammond’s “Winner’s Way Broadcast”
