Joy for Your Job by Meir Ezra
by Axle Macuvex Johnstone Boiler Area Company ManufacturerWhen you do what you love, your odds of success are much
greater. You have more passion, more energy and more fun.
When you enjoy your job, you look forward to Monday
mornings. Your days fly by. You make steady progress.
Work enjoyment is contagious. The people around you get
along better. They follow your example and get more done.
So what if you do not enjoy your work?
Every job, every profession and every business includes
distasteful aspects--the complicated, boring, dirty or difficult parts of the
job. Yet conquering these difficulties, and enjoying your job anyway, is how
you succeed.
To get rich, simply find and perform an important job most
people can't do or won't do. For example, drilling tiny holes in people's teeth
or performing surgery on people's stomachs is very tough work, but it makes
dentists and physicians wealthy.
If you have no love for your job, the difficult parts become
unbearable. You hate going to work. You hate the people. You want to quit.
When you love the purpose and results of your work, the
difficulties are easier to deal with. You take pride in conquering them. The
benefits of the job outweigh the liabilities.
Five Steps to Getting More Enjoyment from
Your Work
1. List what you like about your work. What makes it worth
doing? For example, working with good people, improving your customers' lives,
doing a technically perfect job and so on.
2. List what you dislike about your work. What makes you
want to quit? For example, working long hours, customer complaints, health
risks, mean bosses and so on.
3. List your purposes for this job. Why did you start? What
is the big picture? Why do you do this work?
4. Review and add items to the above three lists. Continue
until you feel more joy for your work. When the lists are balanced, your
passion takes over and you love your job.
5. If the four steps above do not help you find joy for your
job, you need to make some changes.
Change your routine. Work with different people. Do a better
job. Transfer to a different department. Change directions, get a new job or learn
a new profession.
Change a negative attitude. Learn to accept help. Stop
cutting corners.
Keep making changes until the joy of your job is greater
than its difficulties.
If you own a business that gives you no joy, change it as
well. Make it into an operation that makes you happy. Replace difficult
employees. Delegate more responsibilities. Improve the quality of the service
or product. Make the operation bigger or smaller. Sell out and start another
business.
When you love your work, you recognize opportunities and
make better decisions. You know where you are going. You are on the road to
your major, significant success.
Take your foot off the brakes and accelerate!
