I took what I've been given, and I got where I did on the basis of something that is often undervalued - merit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What do you do with what you're given, and how do you transform it into something worthwhile?
I've been given so much, and if I can just give back a tenth of what I've been given, then it's all worth it.
I worked my way through the education system and was treated as though I had value.
I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.
If the work is going well and it's something that has value with some meaning to it, it gives back a lot.
What you measure and reward is what you're going to get.
The sufficiency of merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.
My principles are more important than the money or my title.
The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.
Merit, however inconsiderable, should be sought for and rewarded. Methods are the master of masters.
