Maintain a positive attitude about the changes you are going to be experiencing and try setting a few goals for your first year as a high schooler. Once you establish your goals, determine what you will need to do to meet them and work on developing good practices that will ensure your success. A large part of succeeding in simply believing you can.

Have a sit down with your teachers and tell them that you are struggling and ask for an extension to get the work done. You should also inform your parents of your recent struggles so that they can support you in completing your assignments. Begin your research for your reports and write notes as you go. Allow your notes to inspire the rough draft for your actual report.

Question

A lot of the issues in this article describe what a person with a good work ethic is like, but how can I change the deep subconscious roots to alter behavior in someone like me with a bad work ethic?

Community Answer

The best thing I can suggest is to just follow the tips in the article even if they don't come naturally to you. Over time, you may find those subconscious roots are changing to match your behaviors.

Question

Proper attire or wearing the correct uniform is important as well, right?

Community Answer

That would fall under the category of professionalism. Wearing proper attire in the workplace is a mark of a professional person, which is a sign of a good work ethic.

Question

I work at a job where I would like to be an employer, but the task I'm assigned to greatly lacks my interest. It takes months, if not years, to move up. How do I find good work ethic in a job I dislike performing?

1. Try to speak with your boss right away about how you feel. 2. Ask for a change 3. Start the change yourself. Try to anticipate the challenges you are facing on the project. 4. No matter what, find the ultimate goal you wanna reach in your life. Once found, stick to it and evaluate every aspect of the job whether it is a tool to reach that goal.
