Successful people are people who always give one hundred percent, who understand that a company's success depends on an individual's determination to excel. You may say to yourself, "I am an insignificant person in this big company. I could be laid off tomorrow along with five hundred of my fellow workers, and no one would care." The truth is, what you do is important to people who are important. While you may, indeed be one of many, your labor can benefit someone who is, in fact, genuinely important.

Note how it never even implies that the person doing the actual work is "genuinely important". Only the managers get that distinction. Feh. Where did you find this gem?

Right-o, so be grateful that unimportant little you is permitted to have a job serving the important of the world.

One of my company's few saving graces is that our line employee is the most important asset in the company, and the rest of us are fluff.

Occasionally senior management reminds junior management of this fact.
