“The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else.”
— Earl Nightingale

Simplified Meaning:
When you think you're just working for someone else and not for yourself, you're missing the bigger picture. Even if you have a boss, the effort you put into your job can help you grow, learn new skills, and open up opportunities for your future. It's like when a student works hard on school projects not just to get good grades but to understand the subject better and succeed in life. Always putting in your best effort means you’re investing in yourself, making yourself better, and creating more chances for a successful career. By seeing your work this way, you stay motivated and see the value in everything you do. So, working hard benefits you, even if it seems like you’re doing it for someone else.
