Mowing the yard for my dad as a pre-teen. I was trying to earn some extra cash and so went way above and beyond.

He acknowledged it and did pay a little more than we’d agreed to, but in no way commensurate to the extra work I put in.

I don’t mind working hard or doing extra, but I do it for me now. If interested, passionate, and engaged, then I dig deep and do more. Otherwise it’s the agreed upon work and no more.
