JOBS
Job can define in many ways. One of them is obligation mainly because, that’s the reason why most parents want their children to learn knowledge in school- so that some day they could land a good job to support their selves along. We are obliged to do something to earn money, trust, value, friends, daily routine, and to contribute for the society. You won’t be having a financial support unless you’re very lucky to be a multi millionaire child if you will just sit around the whole day. You won’t be having tasks that can contribute to your self assessment and identity and if that happened you’ll possibly be misguided by bad temptations or destructions. You won’t be having self placement in the society and the tendency of it, you surely feel useless. All of those things are important for the development of nation. In other means, if you’re going to be lazy and won’t fulfill your obligation, you’ll be unfortunately achieved with a bad ending. Another definition of job is happiness. As what the interviewer asked Michael Jordan when he was about to retire, “How was it to be working in NBA for 20 years”? Then he humbly answered, “It was not really a work for me, I just had fun playing here for 20 years”. With that phrase by Michael Jordan, it really reminds me of one simple significant meaning of what job really is. You don’t do something just to please somebody or to let others be fond of you; it is because you love what you’re doing. In reality speaking, we humans have only more or less 80 years living this world; half of it will surely be in working years before you retire. So don’t spend half of your life doing things you’re not happy with.
Back then when I was about to graduate my secondary level, my mother requested me, “Son, since you’re a good mathematician- I think you can be a great accountant”. Given the fact that, my preferred university in the Philippines was already certainly prepared; I still did not follow my mother’s wants because it is now my turn to decide where will I be ten years from now. It will be my life and I need my own decision so that I can pursue to my happiness. I never regretted I took this tourism course because since I was still young I really wanted to travel around the globe and experience different kinds of environment, culture, climate, people, and fun. So whatever job I may land out from this course, I knew from the bottom of my heart, “it will be fun”.
Now a day, the market place out there is very challenging and competitive so naturally most employer will choose the only best employee to be part of their group. So if you’re just starting to have some designated job experience and unfortunately you are just a typical normal guy- I can say you must really have that spirit and heart of determination and motivation to make it to the top. Basically, different people have different assigned individual skills and talents, we just need to be aware of it and use it. The saddest thing to be a Filipino is that our country is experiencing one of the lowest job rates in the word and one of the highest job rates in overseas workers. That simply implies my country doesn’t give enough job opportunities or sustainable/reasonable salaries. It also entails that Filipinos have lost love for their country and most of them decide to work abroad and showcase their talents there. What’s left in the Philippines if this dilemma will continue to happen? I just hope and pray that my fellow people will not totally entrust all works to the new elected government, we also need to give our support and our best masterpiece woks for our dear nation.
To sum up everything job is a specific piece of work required to be done as a duty or for a specific fee.
