"I will always respect those who have authority over me, no matter if I agree with their decision or not. Last month I was asked to repair a piece of equipment in a way that my superior officer thought would be faster. I disagreed with the method but I did things his way regardless. In the end, the job was completed up to standard and everyone was content."
