Pride in your work is a learned behavior, and the ways you learn it are twofold: first, you learn it through a sense that the people for whom you work value your craft as much as you value it, and you valued it enough to learn it in the first place, and second, you learn it from the other people around you, practicing the same craft, and the rising sense in yourself that you don’t want to do shoddy or careless work, not just because you might lose your job, and not just because something bad might happen out in the world if you do, but also because you don’t want to be the person who dishonors the craft practiced by the people around you.
