Sachin Tendulkar once said " I will continue to play as long as I enjoy the game".
Same thing is true for all Careers ,I guess.We all can take cue from sachin's success and many others.
The most important thing in life is choosing a profession which you can enjoy or enjoying the profession you are in.When work is an obligation for you,satisfication is the thing which always eludes you.
Today I am completing my one year in Professional life and I came across many people within this short span of time.A good percentage of them are looking forward to weekends.If we can enjoy our work,5 days from monday to friday will be the fastest in our life.
I always felt laughing when trainees like me saying "Hey,its 9 hours already,I came at 10 in the morning,why should I stay this much?".This may be for the first time that he is staying 10 hours in office.On all other days he may have come late and gone early.Then he wont think "Oh I came late today,its only 5 hours should I stay 4 more hours?".Or when the company gives 1000 more on account of good profits which may have come because some people have worked overnight,he is more than ready to accept it.He won't ask "My package is Rs.x,why are you giving x+1?"But he will defnitely question if the work hours become x+1 atleast for one day.
From a trainee's perspective,he is getting a good platform to make up himself to be a professional.Its understable if you say its already 9 hours ,if you are an expert and its not urgent for you to stay.But a trainee has to devote himself because he has so much to learn and speaking about Exploitation at such a premature stage of career is something not good for himself only.
IT professional speaking about Exploitation sitting in AC room with free coffee from vendor machine and infront of PC would do well to see those people who are working on the road side under hot sun and paying 3 rs. for the tea which forms a significant percentage of that day's salary.
So come on Folks "Enjoy the work you do and do the best you can!".You can also make and break records if you enjoy the work like sachin do.
