About work
Work. Everyone needs at least one.But what's important in a job is really a sence of satisfaction that you get from working. A sence of belonging and a sence of your good exsistance being felt by others. Feeling valued, and knowing that you belonged to a bigger family... Being acknowledged for your capabilities and knowledgablities. Being given responsibilities, and using ones creativity to make new or provide better solutions to situations... To be quick in making decisions, and challenging oneself to get things done better.Working as a freelance trainer, I find great joy that the time are flexible. And I'm not being bound to lifeless tables, chairs and computers which has games installed but I can't play them. *sheesh* (believe me, I've tried...)Though working hours are crazy and money is less than peanuts, but hey, I felt fulfilled that I'm working to see that others may gain new knowledge beyond what textbooks can teach at the end of the day. I am able to interact with tons of people of all ages all the time. Testing my patience with the younger ones, and trying my limited brain capabilities to blurt out all that I know to the "wiser" ones... Everyday is a new challange and every week we're doing something different. And even if we're doing the same activity, everytime it's a new experience...Without demand, there will not be any jobs... Without jobs, what will we all be doing?
But I choose to believe that there is more to the word 'Job' than just getting things done. It's also about interaction and connection. It's about being willing to sacrifice time and energy to see that something is done or made better for the convience of others or for an even greater purpose of helping the world! Therefore, it's always hard to find one that truely suits an individual. But I guess I'll just have to keep searching for it..
Still, no matter what kind of jobs that we may be doing, I believe that there has got to be something that drives us from continuously doing it. Be it Passion. Money. Pride. Praise. Joy. Survival.Never look down on the road-sweepers, for without them, hundreds of accidents may have been reported due to killer litters on the road... Never look down on the cleaner ladies, imagine what will happen if they were to protest for a week!!!Everyone is made to be different, everyone is built to fulfill a different purpose and to contribute to different manners...Perhaps, I was made to be that trainer or painter that were to make a difference in your life...Work.
Everyone should have one...
"Whenever it is in any way possible, every boy and girl should choose as his life work some occupation which he should like to do anyhow, even if he did not need the money."-- Irish Blessing
