4 things this famous little girl can teach adults about a strong work ethic4 things this famous little girl can teach adults about a strong work ethicToday, were gonna do aoil changeThats what an adorable young girl said in zu sich latest video as her hands sprang above her head with joy- on the Little How To Girl Youtube channel,posted Monday.Appropriately called, How To Do An Oil Change (Episode 8), she literally walks viewers through the process step-by-step. Her channelcurrently has more than 3,800 subscribers and shes a mere three years old.Other videos of hers include How to Change a Lock (Episode 2), How To Fix a Leaky Faucet and How To Make A Bedtime Snack and Fix a Headlight (Episode 6).But heres the thing no matter how many years its been since you were three, there are a few things you canapply to your career.1. Dont forget how capable you areYou really can achieve anything. This little girl didnt let her age get in the way of walking viewers through the process with a ge nuine smile.At one point, she gets a little frustrated with a tool used for taking off the oil filter.No I cant do it But then shepushed forward anyway, triumphantly declaring, yes, I can.This ties into the concept of self-compassion.According to a 2003 article in Self and Identity, self-compassion entails being kind and understanding toward oneself in instances of pain or failure rather than being harshly self-critical perceiving ones experiences as part of the larger human experience rather than seeing them as isolating and holding painful thoughts and feelings in mindful awareness rather than over-identifying with them.The article went on to state, results indicate that self-compassion is significantly correlated with positive mental health outcomes such as less depression and anxiety and greater life satisfaction.2. Take comfort in multitaskingTime to unscrew the drain plugHer very cute and correct adviceAlways use a plug while unscrewing the drain plug, and then you can eat a c ookie while you wait for the oil to drain outThe oils draining, my lordShe then launches into her very own rendition of the religious song Kumbaya complete with a few words about the oil change process- as the oil seeps outand she clutches a cookie.Theres nothing wrong with taking on a few things at the same time, and finding ways to spice up your work process.3. Enthusiasm will always be in styleLittle How To Girl is not lacking in the enthusiasm department- you dont have to be either, but if you dont love your job now, there are ways to find purpose in it.In a 2016 Motto article, Adam Poswolsky draws on the advice he provided in his book The Quarter-Life Breakthrough Invent Your Own Path, Find Meaningful Work, and Build a Life That Matters.If theres a project that aligns with your purpose or something that gets you excited, do it. If theres an initiative you want to be involved in, get involved. Dont wait for an invitation to start loving your job, make it happen yourself. Be pro active and ask your boss. If your boss ignores you, ask someone else, Poswolsky writeson not waiting to find meaning in your position.4. Break barriersEspecially gender barriers. No matter how you identify, feel free to pursue any position you choose. Little How To Girl flawlessly shows us that even though women dont hold the majority of auto-related jobs, theres no shame in her game.Catalyst reported in 2016 that in the US, women make up 21.2% of automobile dealers and 7.3% of automotive repair and maintenance employees, citing specific data.The next time youve lost passion for you career, oreven feel burned out, remember Little How To Girl.
