The amount of snow that has been accumulating has forced Bob to work from home for some consecutive days now. Junior has been right by his side as his school had called for a few snow days as well. Some father-son bonding time without a doubt, he thought. Bob decided he could use this time together to teach his son about still being motivated to do good work although he is not in a work environment. Granted that Junior is still young, he’s still impressionable and whenever Bob can make a difference, he will always try. So Bob put on his best work clothes along with a nice bow tie and sat down at the kitchen table with his laptop in front of him. Junior walked into the kitchen and asked, “Dad, why are you all dressed up if you’re not going into the office?” Bob replied, “Well son, it’s important to still be motivated while doing work at home so this is a form of motivation for me. When I’m dressed nicely, I feel good about myself and when I feel good about yourself, I’m more enthusiastic about my day. That energy and enthusiasm can be translated into my work. That’s why I choose to dress like this while I work from home.”
Junior looked at him with a smirk on his face and turned around to leave the kitchen. He returned just minutes later in a pair of slacks and polo along with his own bow tie and sat right across from his father. Junior pulled out his homework and a pencil and began working. Bob had succeeded. He had succeeded in teaching his son about motivation. He admired that Junior was willing to trying something he’d never done before. It was the best “work from home” day Bob had ever had.
