Clashing Work Ethics

I have been trained to finish everything before I relax. My mother ingrained the value of hard work and delayed gratification early on. That is why, I always work hard to attain the goals and tasks I need to do. I even pull all-nighters  if need be. I thought that was the norm.

My cousin who is helping out in our small business, on the other hand, does not care. Tasks given to him is merely last priority to texting, calling friends, sleeping, watching tv or even going out. For that, my mom nags him; they end up always disagreeing. 

I realized the difference. I was probably who I am because my mother emphasized hard work as a young child.  My cousin, though, nice as he is, did not feel that much pressure nor does he want to. He probably does not feel guilty for skiving some work. I. though, feel guilty. I cannot live with myself every time I fall short on tasks that needs to be done.
