As kids, our parents try to teach us not to pick up bad habits. One of those habits is having your hands around your face... whether it's your eyes, your mouth, or picking your nose. It took an unfortunate, yet hilarious, incident yesterday to fix my habit of biting my nails.
You've been told not to do these things since you were little. It turns out they are good for you. You just have to pick the proper time and place to do them.
Nobody's perfect, but even the best of us is occasionally going to come up short at the office. But there’s a difference between the occasional missed meeting and a career full of bad work habits that remain unbroken. And that difference could cost you your job.
