I have learned that there is so much more to business than making money.  Making money is great and is a fine motivator, but you shouldn't do things just for the money.  You will not be happy.  You will not feel satisfied.  You should want to do something because you love doing it, and that it is changing the world around you for the better.  If you do it well the money will come.  Companies who are in it just for the money are not around very long.  It shows through the product and service.  Even employees show why they are there without them realizing it a lot of times.  How many times have you been to a restaurant and the service was terrible?  It was probably an employee there just for the money.  It is all about the attitude.  Even if the job you have right now isn't what you are striving for, it is better to have the best attitude possible.  Waiters who show that they are there to serve the customer and to try their best with a smile get the better tips.  I believe this is true for all positions in business.  Show up and give it your best and things will always work out for the better.
