How Do I Find Satisfaction at Work? - Doug Barr

Transcript: Doing any job in an excellent manner is very satisfying. I mean, Martin Luther King used to talk about the street sweeper. He needs to be the best street sweeper of any. So, excellence is really an important thing [for satisfaction], the quality of what you do.

You’ll make an impact.
