There was never a task that was too inferior or too superior to be done. There&#8217;s something to be said about having a strong work ethic. If you work hard and put your mind to something, you can succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up, the lessons I learned form the foundation for much of the work I do today. Whether I&#8217;m working at my engineering job, shooting a wedding, or helping at my mom&#8217;s tea store, having a strong work ethic brings quality and success to my tasks.\u00a0 I like having the peace of mind that when faced with a challenge, I stepped up and worked my hardest to achieve success. Sometimes attempts at something will be successful and at other times they will not. But being able to adapt and change is the secret to turning failures into successes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Aman-Standing-2B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-95\" title=\"Aman \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Aman-Standing-2B.jpg\" width=\"970\" height=\"1025\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Aman-Standing-2B.jpg 970w, http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Aman-Standing-2B-283x300.jpg 283w, http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Aman-Standing-2B-969x1024.jpg 969w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Hammering-Nails1B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97\" title=\"Building the Deck\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Hammering-Nails1B.jpg\" width=\"970\" height=\"647\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Hammering-Nails1B.jpg 970w, http:\/\/mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Hammering-Nails1B-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Well its funny how it\u2019s the little things in life that mean the most<br \/>\nNot where you live, the car you drive, or the price tag on your clothes<br \/>\nThere\u2019s no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I\u2019ve come to know&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[183],"tags":[26,90,36],"class_list":["post-64","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-portrait-photography","tag-bellingham-photography","tag-portraits","tag-tractor"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2128,"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions\/2128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mandevsidhu.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
