Don't feel like going to office?
As usual, today also Vencut got up at 6.30 am, rubbing his eyes he picked up daily bunch of news papers lying at the door and hit the sofa. Unlike every morning, when he use to start his day reading Economic Times while checking emails on his Blackberry, today he picked up The Bombay Times first. His blackberry was lying unattended, ignored and wondering why its master (rather slave) is ignoring her.
His wife noticed that Vencut is staring that Vidya Balan’s “the dirty picture” for last five minutes and the tea almost got cold.
“Venky, Are you Ok? Should I make you some more hot tea ? I never knew you liked Vidya that much”, asked his wife.
Vencut, still lost, said “Darling, I don’t feel like going to office, let’s go out for a long drive”.
“You don’t want to go to office OR You want to go for a long drive?” , asked wife.
Vencut, already frustrated, shouted “what’s the difference?” By now, his wife has already gone into the bathroom for a shower.
Vencut started thinking about her question again “You don’t want to go to office OR you want to go for a long drive”. She was right, there was a huge difference, and actually – He just didn’t want to go to office.
I am sure Vencut is not the only one, it must have happened to you as well. There are days when you don’t want to go to office, for some, these days are almost five times a week. Never mind.
Well, when it comes to work, I believe there could be only two philosophies -
- Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
- Work is not supposed to give you happiness, if it was, why would you get paid.
If you are not in the first category, here are my two cents.
Just think of five things which gives you happiness, Now, see if any of these activities pay you as well. Think harder. OK, stop thinking - you won't find one.
Well, in short – Lift your damn ass and go to office, no one will pay you to be happy.
Well, in short – Lift your damn ass and go to office, no one will pay you to be happy.
