Well, a smart idea, hard work, and dedication can transform the whole world. These are the ingredients that can make you extraordinary. There are some widely accepted norms that one can follow to gain a little bit of inspiration.

A few days ago, Huxley Dunsany who is a former Apple employee posted an image of the back of his old employee card. According to Huxley Dunsany, the card was given to him when he was hired by Apple way back in the year 2004.

Huxley Dunsany submitted the picture on Reddit where he wrote “I left Apple years ago, but these really stuck with me ever since”

Let go of the old, make the most of the future
Always tell the truth, we want to hear the bad news sooner than later
The highest level of integrity is expected, when in doubt, ask
Learn to be a good businessperson, not just a good salesperson
Everyone sweeps the floor
Be professional in your style, speech, and follow-up
Listen to the customer, they almost always get it
Create win/win relationships with our partners
Look out for each other, sharing information is a good thing
Don’t take yourself too seriously
Have fun, otherwise, it’s not worth it
