The Job

I would like to share a real story of a boy named Phil. This boy's father own a laundry in America. The business was doing well. He gave a job to the boy so that he can learn the business and take care of it in future for a happy living. But Phil hated the laundry business. He did not come to the job regularly and he used to be absent many days. The boy's father was much worried about his carelessness and ambitionless on the business. 

One day Phil told his father that he wanted to be a mechanic. He wish to work in a mechanic shop. The boy's father was so shocked and was very restless about the boy's decision. But Phil had is way to work on the mechanic shop. He was very happy and worked very long hours. As he choose the job and he was very passionate about it, he worked very happily. He did not stop there, he took up engineering and learned more about engines. He died at 1944. This man was none but Phil Johnson, when he died he was the president of Boeing Aircraft Company. He was making the flying fortresses that helped the government to win the war. What would have happened if Phil Johnson was taking care of his father's laundry business ?.

It is very important to have a happy life. The job we do will decide that. Our job will also decide the stress level and how long we can live in this beautiful world. Many of us spend so much time in selecting the dress we are going to wear, we spend more time in selecting the car we are going to drive, we spend more time in analyzing various designs on the interiors at our home but we spend very less time in selecting the job which we are going to do. This is very important to decide the job and prepare us well in advance to perform the job effectively with love. This is a simple secret to build happy and successful life.

For the young boys and girls, i have a suggestion. Before you choose your course of study after your 12th grade or high school, fix an appointment with the successful person in that particular field in your town which you are planning to pursue. Ask them few question like how they feel after so many years of experience in their field ?. What are the drawbacks and success mantras ?. How much we can earn in 5 years ?. what is the growth rate in this field ? and so on. This will definitely give you a clarity on what you are planning. This will help you in taking a decision.

Definitely a successful person will give you an appointment and will be available to speak with you when you show enough interest. Infact, you don't even need an appointment. You can directly walk-in and ask for his suggestions. They will feel more priviliged and happy to help you than anyone. Even if you are not successful in getting an idea from one or two person, there will be many to give you their years of experience as suggestions. All you need to find them and get their point of view. In a way, it is a easy process to get a job before getting a degree, How ?.

Yes, when you impress that person by taking his suggestion and being in touch with him, after your degree he can give you a job. Why not you try this. This is a way to get a job you like even before getting a degree. People get less sleep and suffer from various diseases that occur due to lack of sleep these days. The main and foremost reason is worrying and the job which they do might bring more worries if they don't like it. Any person is fit for multiple jobs. He can be good at many areas and he can be bad at certain areas. The important thing is to find out what will work for them and what they are interested about. Choose the job you like and start learning continuously for a happy living.

Don't approach a company and ask "Can i have a job in your company ?"

Instead, tell them you are good at certain field and ask for a job in that field to grow the company and yourself.

Have a Great Day
