Work Ethics And Study Ethics

"Every man's/women's work is always a portrait of himself."- Samuel Butter

   This is a discussion of thoughts, ideas, perspectives, and a philosophy on work ethics and study ethics that can be found with one's action made at a work place or a school. Every workers must be responsible for the result of what they get pay for; and every students must show respects, with humility, be acquisitive of ideas. This is the philosophy on what work ethic and study ethic are. It is for your own shake as a result; so there must be the ethics with both a worker and a student in order to be successful.

“Great effort equals great results.” - Euripides

An early Greek dramatist said that our attitude toward work or study appear on the result. How we work and how we study show our ability, personal characteristics of each an individual and a person’s own human conditions. When people lose the ethics, they are squandering and often missing their moral as well. Great success requires great effort, the ethics and your will to fulfill them as an individual in society.

   It is very important for all workers to be professional and skillful to get whatever the necessary to be done. We have to be responsible for being able to meet the requirements for a job; and we should keep working on our task until we can satisfy the result of it as an expert. This is standard expectation for every person who gets pay for what they do as a job in general society. People have carried the idea for a long time.

“Persistent work triumphed.” -Virgil

As Virgil, an early Roman poet said, to keep working can be the way to success. You must not give up your task before you finish. As long as your work affects other people in society, it is not your personal matter that can cause a trouble merely between you and your employer. There are always some people who need your work no matter what industry you are involved in. Bad work ethics can get people who ask you to work into trouble. This trouble does not occur only within your company. It can be developed into larger case in your life. You can easily become an immoral person without work ethics. If you are getting money from your work, it may be for others but for you also.

“Work is the grand cure of all the maladies (ills) and miseries that ever beset mankind.” - Thomas Carlyle
“Work banishes those three great evils: boredom, vice and poverty.” - Voltaire

An early British historian, an early French philosopher, and many other people who lived various time period said that work takes a large part of human life; so that is able to make one's life valuable and worthwhile. It has great influence on life of people in numerous ways. This does not depend on the industry. All people must do some work for living. Sometimes it requires a long time to be done. You may have to spend a lot of your life for your job as a worker; and you may not have time to spend it for your hobby, entertainment, or other things that you may wish to have fun. But keeping you busy can also kill your time to be bored. If there is nothing you need to do; and you can live without doing any of work, then you can not feel pleasure of breathing space as strong as you do after you finish your business. Your work can cure your bad habits also. Because people must have ethics in order to concern with others, we often order our life according to social standards. In today's society, money is required to get place to sleep, to get foods, to get medical treatment, nearly everything you do for living. Work is the most common way to get money. With your money, you can have a rich life. Whether you have or do not, a work ethic can change your life. So your attitude toward work can explain how you cherish yourself and other people. You have to accept your responsibilities; and as professional worker, you have to try to reach the acme of your skill to fulfill expectations. This work ethics can be applied to every worker in every work area.

   Some good examples for a study ethic are; students must show respect, with humility, be acquisitive of knowledge and ideas. This is closer to say the principle that students are there so as to learn something; therefore they must be keen in order to do not miss any of chance that they can try to gain knowledge, to develop their ability, and to improve themselves for their future dreams. You can learn from anything around you. Everything you see can teach you something if you are acquisitive of your skill. There is always something that can be a teacher as you can find something you do not have. Because of pride, one of human nature sometime called conceit, it is difficult for people to try to find something that they can learn from teacher who does not seem to be reputable. People can suck up well by being an obedient. But they do not become docile easily; and they frequently take refusal to acknowledge their innocent. Following rules and regulations is important part of study ethics. Students may have a great sense of responsibility but they cannot take it for many of what is possibly happen when they break the regulation. So they are protected by the rule and the regulation. A study ethic can develop a protection also. There are always things that you can learn something. An inestimable person can teach you by acting a negative example. None of students, teachers, philosophers, presidents, or ministers has a perfect knowledge. Student should know that they do not know anything. Knowing your ignorance can motivates you to acquire more and more. You should not forget humility. Precisely, you can never have self-conceit if you know your ignorance. Teachers do not get offensive feeling from student showing regard for them. It makes much easier relationship between both side; and it is effective for students in many ways.

   Both work ethics and study ethics are mandatory for both workers and students. We live in society, which interact with others all the time. Inevitably, the ethics are prerequisite condition for every citizen. It is crucial to have and to develop both a work ethic and a study ethic. Work ethics are more about giving the result. It more focus on an output of your skill. Study ethics are more related to an input. Responsibilities of a student are usually less and lighter than worker's one. Because studying effects more directly on student himself/herself. Instead, failure in work place can cause a bigger damage on other people around you. It emerged that the ethic is there when people make their ideas into an action.

“Commitments are only as strong as the will to fulfill them.” - Pierre Trudeay

Any great ideas are possible to come out from the mouth. But you have to put your ideas into action. Others cannot find both a work ethic and a study ethic that exist in one’s head. If nobody can see it, then it is same as being lost. Generally, people in society prefer to work with a person who has a work ethic rather than to work with someone who does not have. Having a work ethic can lead you to next work, and farther. If you do not have one, it becomes difficult for you to keep working; and your morality can be subject. We see less study ethics in today's society which education had became available for most people. Some students in education system seem to be unwilling to give any attention to any of information that can change their life entirely. Teachers prefer to teach a student who has strong intention to learn. You can prove your will by having a study ethic. If you do not have either ethic, you can lose your confidence; and you must suffer the most.

   Both a work ethic and a study ethic are found in an action of a worker and a student at any place, time, situations they may be involved.

“Every man's/woman's work is always a portrait of himself.” - Samuel Butter

Samuel Butter, an early British writer said a long time ago that one's attitudes toward a work or a study operate powerfully upon the result. Writing becomes illegible when writer was in great hurry. A punctual person may do a work that requires close attention. A little piece of an abstract art contain a great philosopher of the author. By the way they work, by the way they study, by the way they wrestle with a difficult problem, people can demonstrate their ethics. All works can present their ability, their practice, and their human condition rightfully as if a mirror reflects object exactly. Ethics are demanded to be successful. Every workers must be a professional and skillful to be able to fulfill expectations; and every students must show respect, with humility, be acquisitive of ideas in order to improve themselves in the most effective way. Having a work ethic and a study ethic can make your life superb, exquisite, and delightful.
