Attitude - What Phase of it
Was chatting with a workplace collegue of mine during a once in a while free time. She is about to transfer to Laundry as she say she cant take the "Standards" of services. As in the pervious resturant she does not need to follow that till she joined our line.
She will take on the Initial S, and i will be my M.
S : Hey, just telling you, I'm getting a transfer to Laundry next week, so you can have the whole resturant to yourself.
M : What you mean the whole resturant to myself? And yar, I did heard about the transfer from the AM.
S : Well its like you are always working so hard, so it makes it look like you own this resturant. But why work so hard? 5pm got people to take over you already, and its now 4pm, you should just go around to slack.
M : Well I'm paid now to do this, so its not really any mistake of mine to be clearing the trolly now. I have to give in my share of what I am paid for, even if its just a mere $5.50 per Hour.
S : Thats a good thinking, but don't you think your too naive? I mean its like, those indian guys are always slacking when its busy, so why work so hard, just be like them lar?
M : Well its ok to slack, but What I am trying to do is not just working, I am proving that those guys are useless, its easy to see that I am better than those good for nothing who cant even get things done properly.
S : But they still gain, I mean like you do all their job, won't they be like more than happy?
M : But you are merely looking on the surface! If you were to see the underneath, I am establishing a contact with my bosses, this means I am given more respect, much more than a Full timer, and Respect comes way better.
S : But still you are losing out for being naive, Don't you think?
M : Well look at this side, Don't you feel better when you see a work done nicely (Me points to the clean Trolly) and that your concious actually feels good?
S : That is indeed a good thinking, but the person who tires out first is you, issint it?
M : Well, atlease when I am done with work, I feel better than slacking around doing nothing.
S : Maybe thats the difference between ages. I'm 30+ this year, and normally I am kicked around after my use have being expired. But your still young. Maybe thats why.
(The conversation came to a halt here as I have to run off to clear more stuff.)
From the above conversation, Its easy to tell, that the thinking of how I belive in working is different, maybe from nationality (She is from Malaysia, while I am born local) Family Background, age and maybe gender.
But the thing is that, what i felt that my pespective might be naive, or simple. But I do feel that, giving all you can during work and make yourself exhausted due to it is more fun, and it gives you a better sense of satisfaction. It make you feel that you are needed and makes it more noticible to people of your presents.
Heres a short story i read about before.

Mr Chan is a Manager in a large Logistic Company, his in his forties, worked with this company since his twenties and rised to his current position since the large retrenchment of the older workers, when his 28 year old.
He have being stuck with the same position for 10+ years, everyday he will try to make himself look busy and shan away from meetings, avoiding any workload and distributing it to all his subordinates when he gets any, always claming credits and also flattering his boss.
One day a new worker who joined the company, after a few weeks of his observation, he openly asked Mr Chan in his office when being appointed the job which he recived from his higher ups.
"Sir, may I ask you, What have you wanted to accomplish this many years working here?"
Mr Chan replied in a quiet tone "Just earning my living enough to retire, thats all I ever wanted in life." The young blood replied, with a straight tone " I have heard of all your stories Mr Chan, did you know that if you would have channelled those effords in advoiding work into seriously doing something, You would not have being here, but at the higher floors (Director/President Floor) for a few years ago."

What does this story shows, is that when someone really do try hard, he/she can make a difference, and defitnitely will make something come out of nothing. Its the same when you used all the best you can to avoid work, you wasted precious effort in something so trivial, which is a sad issue.
What I do feel is that, God Helps those who Self Helps, Not those who always find the leeway out, but those who puts burdens on themself and slowly solve them, be it how long it takes to solve them.
Plus, Never expect to get in luck, but always keep a positive attitude in life, for everything comes with a price, never expect something to happen to you without paying off. Unless its in your dreams.
She will take on the Initial S, and i will be my M.
