Attitude

Terribly frustrated about people's attitude!It really beats me how people can speak lowly about something they got into by their own choice. Take for example, how most people feel about their jobs...8 out of 10 people I meet speak ill about their previous companies or their current companies. Think about it, you are in a situation because either you chose to get into it or were in one or the other way forced to get into it based on the situational factors. Once you are there, whats the point in bullshitting about how bad the role was or pay was or ur boss was....heights of MEDIOCRITY. If you felt you were capable of being in some other better role/company/pay then you should have got it..for whatever reasons you did not get it and landed up in your current situation, one needs to focus and make the most of learning from it.

This is a major attitude problem in most employees today...what they don't probably understand is they are questioning their own thinking and decision making ability by bullshitting about their situation. Arre, you try to get the best of all - you want to be in your home town, work in a office where ur girlfriend works, you want to get a meaty role despite ur misfit for the role and over and above that u want a 6 o 7 figure salary!! I wish life was so easy...where you got all this on a platter.

Time and again, I have seen such people who cannot take pride in what they are doing or their job, fail miserably in their careers..world is a very small place- this statement could not have been truer than before. One should think twice before speaking ill about their companies and roles and managers as there is not too much option for such people. Its just a churn happening all the time, where there are 6-7 companies and you keep jumping from one to another among these 7 only. One could be genuinely unhappy with their current jobs, but whats the need to publicly speak ill about it, cause you are degrading urself by accepting that "YOU" did a mistake by getting into that situation. Realize what you have done, and silently look for something better or whatever you feel is good for you. Confession is different from Complaining..I have heard some people genuinely confessing that their current roles or jobs are not crafted out for them and hence they need to change..such people silently find their way out, instead of cribbing and sticking on to what they are currently doing.

With no shortage of skilled people available all the time, companies do not take lightly to this kind of Attitude where one is always cribbing about them. Apparently, it will show in your work. To go beyond these 6-7 companies, it requires much more than medicore thinking, especially in your attitude..you could probably fit the role in terms of skills, but you will get outrightly rejected because of your attitude...and let me tell you,only such companies can offer you meaty roles!

God really help such people who despite all their education, do not have the ability to take resposibility for their situation. If one does not cultivate this culture of taking responsibility or being accountable in the beginning of one's career, they do not or rather "cannot" go far! Having the right attitude is important to succeed in one;s profession. Someone somewhere said -"A professional is someone who can do his best work when he doesn't feel like it." So true!

"The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." -Oscar Wilde,

Someone beautifully summarized it:
Responsibility begins with the willingness to be cause in the matter of one's life. Ultimately, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no evaluation of good or bad, right or wrong. There is simply what's so, and your stand. Being responsible starts with the willingness to deal with a situation from the view of life that you are the generator of what you do, what you have and what you are. That is not the truth. It is a place to stand. No one can make you responsible, nor can you impose responsibility on another. It is a grace you give yourself - an empowering context that leaves you with a say in the matter of life.-Werner Erhard
