I am always looking forward to the weekend. Just want work days to pass without anyone saying I suck at work. I feel guilty. How do I change this? How do I look forward to spending time at work?

Find joy in little things that drive you; everyone is a little different.

For me, i love the fact that I work with smart, funny and caring people. I would put my teams against anyone in the world and am confident they will come out on top. It makes me feel smarter and I enjoy knowing I have helped them along they way.

I enjoy the financial independence and lifestyle this job has allowed me to achieve. I can take care of my parents who have lived on just a few hundred dollars a month most of their lives, help pay for my brothers study abroad, take my kid on a plane on a nice vacation and show her the world, help my community and support causes I feel passionate about.

I love the fast pace and challenges and adjustments that are required. I get bored easily and this career has allowed me to do many different things, try many different roles, work for some amazing brands and push myself. I enjoy everything I have accomplished on my own, with my teams, with the firms I’ve been with. There are only maybe what a couple of million in the world that do what we do; in my field, probably about 10,000 people and my firm, teams and I are on top of that - it’s good to know you’re one of the best.

We all are a sarcastic bunch with a self-deprecating sense of humor who get desensitized by the complexity and challenges of this career and the opportunities it provides. Many of us are drivers who are rarely satisfied with just being in the same spot. Take a deep breath, take a step back and realize what you have accomplished as compared to an average human being. Think of all the hardships you have gone through. Give yourself a pat in the back. Be kind to yourself and others. Appreciate fruits of your labor and find ways to do things you enjoy and have fun!

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
