Don't look at it as a job. Look at it as your "service to others". End of the day, each one of us needs to provide useful service to others. We must be "useful to others". Knowing you are useful to others will bring meaning to your life.

The best way to go is find out what you are good at, what you are passionate about and then use it to help others. Don't focus too much on self. Rather focus what you can bring to the table for others. The only thing you should focus on self is how to improve your skills & your service so you can be even more useful to others.

Whether you're an employer or employee, focus on your service to others. What you bring to the table for others. Once you do this, naturally you will grow as a person and in business.
