Work Standards

Work is work. Some say that it’s pure luck if they find a job that they like while, others work out of pure necessity. There’s a saying many know---“fake it till you make it”---but is that really true?

At times it may feel like a daily grind because there might be a set standard of how a person should act and behave in order to be successful. For example: if A equal success then the formula is A = X+Y+Z, where X is work, Y is play and Z is keep your mouth shut. Suppose a person does use this formula. There are multiple hypotheticals that could play out however; there is only one chance to get away with being astute. For instance, a funny thing about the stock market is that every time a person buys another sells and they both think that they are astute. In reality, there are two different sides and scenarios panning out. But, other people can choose to make some “fun” out of the grind. Another example is when a person changed their passwords to “incorrect” so every time they would forget it would tell them “your password is incorrect”.

The people who do like their jobs are a lot smaller in size, so they aren’t necessarily obsoleting the general standards of a work environment.  People have to wonder what they’re doing differently. It’s a proven statistic that most Americans are unemployed or in between jobs five times in their life according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If a person introspects their life a little more, would that number---five---still be that high? There may be some legitimate reason like, family or furthering your education, but all in all there is an issue that needs to be acknowledged.

In retrospect, there is a secret to existence. That is we are all a little mad. Expectation in relation to reality can be a boat load when a thing such as, life get in the way. Excuses aside, there is nowhere to go until a decision is made, which leads to the starting point of change. No matter if you are the CEO or an entry-level employee, change can be implemented. The size of the change is up to the person, whether it’s trying something new or simply moving things around to reduce stress. A major key in success is the lifestyle a person lives. The lifestyle should be positive and healthy, so it becomes one less thing to be mad about.
