Communicate what it is about your work that gives you pleasure. Tell what it is that is different (from others you know) about how you approach the job, and why that works well for you. Your intern might identify with your approach -- or maybe he or she will identify with someone else you talk about. Tell lots of stories that communicate how people in your line of work think. Talk about the people at your workplace who really add value to the organization. In each case, what are they bringing to the team that makes them so valuable? "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." - Gen. George S. Patton, Jr "Do not try to satisfy your vanity by teaching a great many things. Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds; do not overload them. Put there just a spark. If there is some good inflammable stuff, it will catch fire." - Anatole France "Morale is increased by the accomplishment of difficult tasks." - Erwin Rommel "Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough." - George Washington Carver "He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great." - John Ruskin "Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him and to let him know that you trust him." Booker T. Washington "The work will teach you how to do it." - Estonian proverb
