When I was young, my mother always pointed out if I wanted a good job, I should keep my shoes polished & shiny. My argument with that was, if a person had shiny shoes, it probably meant they were lazy, (except for wasting time polishing) & didn’t do enough hard work to get them dirty. Dirty shoes would be a sign of a hard working person & the reason they got dirty & unpolished. A hiring boss might just notice that.
