Why? It is because the Master you serve is always watching. Obey your masters, leaders, and bosses even when they are not around or checking on you.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/68\/PRO.25.19.gnt\">Prov.25:<sup>19<\/sup><\/a> (GN) &#8220;Depending on an <strong><u>unreliable person<\/u><\/strong> in a crisis, is like trying to chew with a loose tooth or walk with a crippled foot&#8221; <\/em>[with emphasis]. How do you know an excellent and responsible person? A boss walks his staff through the how of keeping a particular process running. Now, between them, they know that the process is not a priority one process but, because of some other dependencies, the process needs to keep running. The responsible person knows the boss may never check, but will keep the process running. The unreliable person will do it a few times and stop because no one is checking.<\/p>\n<p>A young job seeker saw an advert in the papers; a company was looking to hire a young, responsible man. The remuneration for the role was really good; so he applied. The day of the interview came and he showed up. When asked why he thought he qualified, he said, \u201cYour advert states that you are looking for a young responsible man, so here I am\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell us how you have demonstrated being responsible at your last job\u201d, the interviewer asked. He replied, \u201cIn my last three jobs, any time something goes wrong, my employer would tell me \u2018You are responsible!\u2019\u201d Let it be said that he or she keeps her word.<\/p>\n<p>How reliable are you? If you play when your boss is away, you are a one. If you work whether the boss is around or not, you are a ten. If you are in between &#8211; sometimes you need to have the boss around to make you sit and sometimes not, then you are a four.
