"What makes you work so closely with a kind of boring job like this?"
"Well, the way you ask, you do not know my real job," said the Old Man.
"My job is not just checking the door hinges. I worked at five star hotels, and our guests were mostly managers. Every manager must head a department that led to tens of dozens of employees. The same is almost certainly was a head of household. Well, if there is a fire in the hotel, and one of them trapped, locked up and eventually killed, because the door hinges are not working properly, then companies will lose his manager, and a family will lose the head of the family.. Mr. James, my work not only take care of door hinges, but rather to ensure the safety of the manager's life. "
Some people might consider this old man just to amuse himself, just as practiced by many today. They are not proud of their work. They had to, because they do not have any other way to survive. Even if it is not considered excessive, maybe they are embarrassed by their work. The causes are many, but one of the most important is: because they do not understand * 'the meaning of Their job'.
It seems simple, but sometimes it needs a reflection and creativity to understand, what the hell we're doing. Seeing is not just visible to the eye. A sense that transcends the understanding of most people.
A foreign graduate who later returned to the homeland and opened the embroidery business, for example. Will easily reap the scorn of right-left, front-rear. "Being Schooled away and expensive, and just doing this kind of work!".
But an understanding of how the amount of a benchmark for entrepreneurial economic progress of a country, it will force us to give a little '* meaning' * different, to what is done by the Graduates of Foreign Affairs of them. Not to mention the meaning of: job creation, which means it also gives fortune to a number of heads, wives and children of others, which inevitably makes us introspection about the extent to which we can contribute to others. On life.
I remembered a story about three people hod, which has a different answer to the question about what work they do.
"I'm just an ordinary construction worker!", It answers the first coolie.
"I do not really know about what we are building", the answer is both.
And the last person to answer was: "I was one of the trusted to build a magnificent palace."
A very inspiring story, at least for me personally, about how our understanding of a work can change the approach and then automatically affect the result of the work itself.
So it is true what the wise men that: people who do not have pride in what he was doing, no matter how big or small the job, almost impossible to give meaning to the job. And certainly will not give meaning to life itself, let alone anyone else. People are just surviving, while transmitting * pessimism *, and aging, death and ultimately forgotten.
