I am having a "fortunately busy" schedule these days and the days were so busy that I stopped attending my phone calls too ! The reason why I put a "fortunate" before the word "busy" has a reason.
Every day, one wakes up with a hope that the day goes well and so do I. So, the question is "What makes it a day to you?".
I love my work and like any workaholic I feel that I get something good to work on, that something that makes me learn a new thing, an oppportunity that makes me feel excited and a series of activities that make me feel, at the end of the day, that I had a good time.
That's all about work, but it's not just the work that we do, but also the people that you run into matter alot ! I opine that you are gifted with some talent by birth (be it due to heridity or luck) but a majority of your current lifestyle is impacted by the people around you.
These days, I am meeting a lot of people, be it due to interviews that I am taking at my company, my clients, my team or my counter parts at my clients' place. I like observing people and I enjoy doing that. I took a note of those people I ran into that got stuck at some point in their life and career (not sure if that is due to personal inhibitions) and are reluctant to come out of that. Such people cast no impression/impact on your lifestyle unless you intend to get inspired by their sluggish nature. There is a big list of people that I have changed my thinking and life and I defer the details to a future post ;-)
A bit of flashback, not deviating from the actual topic - A few years ago, my employer asked me to fill up a survey by name "Gallup" and some of the questions (to my memory) read somthing like this:
- Do you enjoy coming to work every day?
- Did your boss/lead appreciate your work in the past one week?
- Did you work on something interesting/something that you could cherish for a while?
- Do you love your workplace?
- Does your boss encourage you to try out new things and assign challenging tasks? , etc, etc.
Frankly, I felt that the survey was a "non-sense" but over a period of time, I realized that these questions do matter a lot and answers to such questions best answer the question - "What makes your day?" :)
