During a recent visit with my brother, a retired chemist, he shared some advice that his first supervisor gave him over 35 years ago.
“I’d been there for a few months,” Doug said, “when the guy called me into his office one day and told me I should think of my job and my work in the lab as my own little store in a mall, that I could do whatever I wanted with it. I could grow it and make it successful, or I could just put in my time and let it languish. It was all up to me.”
