Is your attitude in everything.
People make the mistake of thinking of work vs. home as a light switch. "when I'm at work, I'm in work mode and when I'm at home, i go into home mode". The question for these people is what's different?
Sure there are times when you focus more time and attention on a particular subject matter than others, but these statements are usually in reference to attitude and energies invested into each domain. As if work mode requires a little less effort and energy than home mode.
The reality is all facets of your life require a great deal of effort, attention and energy and if your goal is to become a success (by your definition), you must invest equal amounts in all circumstances if you are to get the most out.
Don't let others fool you into believing they are something else behind closed doors or in different circumstances. Unless they have split personalities or bi-polar disorders, they likely are not. The quiet people / reserved / shy people at work are likely the same at home. The unfocused / loud / interrupting types are probably also similar in their personal space.
If you ever feel yourself questioning "Am I getting what I want out of this experience, transaction, job, relationship", ask yourself the more important question of "am i putting everything in".
