Credentials

Mike Suszycki

Much better to increase the respect of your position than to rely on your occupation for respect. Only artificial self-worth depends on credentials and that dependence just undermines esteem. Instead of worrying about what people think, use that time to increase your skills, excel in your office, perfect your talents. You then become essential to your co-workers and sought after and appreciated by the wise.
