When doing a job – any job – one must feel that he owns it, and act as though he will remain in that job forever.

Hyman G. Rickover
About This Quote

When you are doing a job, it is important that you feel that you own the job. You must act as though you will remain in that job forever. Without ownership, you cannot be motivated to do your best. When people do not feel ownership, they tend to slack off and take minimal effort.

Ownership is all about passion and motivation. You should always take ownership of something that you are doing even if it is just for one moment.
