#10- KaBoom! Do Your Best

"It's not about your all-time best performance that matters, it's how you perform consistently, day in and day out." (pg.7)

In Darell Hammond's novel, KaBoom!, he emphasizes the importance of hard work and dedication. I personally believe that how you perform and integrity go hand-in-hand. You can't perform only when it matters, true character is revealed on how you perform when no one is watching. I have learned this the hard way through my own personal experience. For the most part, I can honestly say I always try to do the right thing and wear my specified attire to work. However, one day I didn't wear the required shirt and it just so happened that day that my Boss walked in. I was reprimanded, but thankfully not too badly because she knows the time of person I am and how I usually behave while on the clock. Being consistent in character and quality can help with situations when your character is put to the test. What I learned is that you can't take a break on integrity and performance. It needs to be consistent and I need to "walk the talk".
