Never stop trying to improve your work. Demonstrate your long term dedication to your job by trying to improve even after you have been told you are doing a good job. Remember that a positive review is not an invitation to take a break, rather, it is a sign that your employer loves the work you are doing and wants more.

☛ Keep in mind that, at most jobs, there are very real rewards to striving for excellence. For instance, if your supervisor only has one promotion to give to their employees, they will probably give it to the person that strove to improve their work, rather than one that was content getting mostly positive reviews.
