Work

I work as a lifeguard, and crowding a bunch of young people into a small room for hours on end is a recipe for goofing off.  And that's all well and good, but you're being paid for six hours of work, and you need to put in those six hours.  If there's something you can do, do it, despite the fact that your boss hasn't asked you to do it.  This kind of behavior has it's benefits, besides the obvious moral ones.  Doing things preemptively that your boss hasn't specifically asked you to do yet can attract goo attention from the people you work for, and this opes the door for possible benefits down the way.  Not that this is the only reason that you should work hard, but it is a nice reward for doing your best.
