Pride

When you are proud of your work it makes the assignment or project worth while because you get to be proud of yourself. Being proud of your work is important because it is the whole reason one works for. If we put effort, time, and dedication to one's work we would feel good about the outcome of our work. But if we did not put any effort into our work we would not do our best and not really think of it as important to us. We will feel forced to complete the work and not take it seriuosly.
