The most successful people in the workplace are those who normally really like and 'buy-into' their employer's mission and vision. In other words such people like what the company wishes to achieve and where it is heading. It is akin to being on a ship and liking what the ship is doing and liking where the ship is heading.

Unless you think that the majority of people are living successful lives, chances are that at some point you will have to act differently from those around you.

The good news is that you can learn such qualities even if they don't come naturally to you.
