Love Your Job

I told everybody that I really love what I'm doing now. So, today one of my colleague said something to me, I can't remember the exact word but it sound like this, " ...don't think much about making money for company, we didn't get a penny..." What does it meant?

Yup, my company not on the same ranking with 500 Fortune, heh, not even near. We only have 5-10 staffs, each with his/her own specialties. If one missing, others will suffer and may need replacement immediately. Company need staff to run the action. To cut short, I need the company for money and the company need me to do the job, thus generate income for the company to pay my salary. Understand or not?

I can understand why most people will agree with my friend statement. This is just a basic human behavior. For those who know about management, this is all about motivation. You know the things about people X and people Y, bla, bla, bla, Japanese is type Z, yada, yada, yada... 5 level of motivation thingy. Most Msian in a comfort zone. They always say that they wanna make money, but what ever they do, they want reward straight away. Wake up people! This is not Hang Tuah era where you trade fish for rice, barter style. Today you put 100K in ASB, next 12 month only you get 7K. Like my previous post, I work not for today, but for tomorrow. For my child. For my future.

People doesn't really understand why they get paid every month. Is it because they come in 8.30am and back at 5.30pm? Or they do all the thing boss ask? For me, I get paid because I'm selling. What I sell? I sell my energy, I sell my skills, I sell my intelligence, I sell my time, etc. So, my boss pay me for that stuff and thingy, not because I do the task. Helping a company to growth strong is part of the job (hehe, by helping i mean investment, not help for free, no such thing is free nowadays right?!). But, like wise man said," Love your job, Don't love your company." Think about it man!
