Are you satisfied with the day's work you have done today?

Being a part of the Salaried professionals, we have always worked for our organizations. No matter whatever the industry, the employees have been the back-bone in generating the revenue. As an employee, I worked for 8 hours. Maybe, I am not doing justice here, because as employees we have not utilised the exact 8 hours.
Recently, I got a mail, which made me think of the work we do.
Below is the content of the mail:
"IF YOU WERE YOUR OWN EMPLOYER, WOULD YOU BE ENTIRELY SATISFIED WITH THE DAY’S WORK YOU HAVE DONE TODAY?"

At the end of the day, it matters little what others think of you; what’s important is what you think about yourself. As you reflect on your day’s work, ask yourself, Have I given 100 percent of my time and talents today? If this were my company, would I like it to be filled with hundreds of other people just like me, or would I prefer to hire individuals with a little more initiative? When you have become the kind of person you would like to work with or have working for you, you are not far from the day when you will own the company-or at least become a valuable part of it. Most important, you can sleep soundly at night, serene in the knowledge that you have done your best, that you have earned your pay, and that you have met the standards of performance you require of yourself.

How many of us being professionally employed meet the above requirements??
Think about it.
