- be optimistic and always look at the good/up side of your job/assignment. bosses most of the time assign you tasks to test your capabilities and limits.
- don't limit yourself on just delivering what the boss asked of you. instead, go beyond. example of this is if your boss asks you to analyze the numbers. instead of just giving him what those numbers say, add recommendations based on the data.
- don't complain too much
- set a goal for yourself in everything you do and do everything to achieve those goals
