Further Realisations (At Work)
No matter how much you love what you are doing (be it your job or a hobby or things that consumes most of your time), if you do not enjoy the company of the people surrounding you and it makes your environment a living hell then all your effort , hardships and sacrifices will not make any sense. Staying would be hard. Everything would not seem to be worth it. Growing intellectually and professionally may go on an all time low, if not impossible.
Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are human (unless you are not). We need to communicate with other being. They did not come into life for nothing. By need it doesn't mean to depend. Everything has to be in balance.
We always have that knack to feel appreciated. It may not always be a good thing but it is by validation that we feel good about ourselves. Admit it or not, it is one of what drives us to go beyond greatness. Maybe that is where this "no matter how many No, you would only need a Yes to proceed with your plans" kind of thinking was derived. It is not bad, but we should know better than try to please our superiors, or anyone. We just have to always give it our best.
We need to be scolded for our wrongdoings to remind us that we are not perfect or nowhere near it. These kind of situations are exactly what we need to keep us grounded. What if it is too much? Should we quit? Should we fight back? We should not and we should not. We should be able to stand our ground with respect. We must be the first to understand. We should not hold grudges and judge people easily because it is not righteous to do so. We should always be willing to see everything through brand new eyes.
Being a professional does not necessarily require a license. It is your attitude and passion towards your crap, er, craft that counts.
Disclaimer: I may or may not have experienced the situations stated above; just some observations in my early years of being employed (and lol it was not that lot, really. Just about a year and a half, but still.)
