Working With Meaning

Last Tuesday, aku attend satu event ni, "Working With Meaning" Sharing Session. As usual, being organizer, aku part media, amik gambar and video. What to be shared in this post, aku tertarik dengan satu moment dalam event ni, whereby participants boleh share ape diorg rasa.

A guy stood up. Nama dia Arif kot. Staff. Dia cakap ni kat mic, "To be honest, I hate my job." Sume dalam Dining Hall tu stumbled. hahhaha... siyes klakar part tu. gile berani kan mamat ni. He continued, "Every morning, I arrived at the office, this is what I did." Then, dia pun gerak gi tepi tingkap. 

"xde org nak teman ke.." Dia pun ajak the other participants and panelists join dia..

"Ok. Cuba tengok kat bawah tu. Kita ada Lembaga Getah Malaysia, rumah, kereta, orang bergerak sana sini.."

"What work really means to me for being here, in PETRONAS, is that I always thinks that one day, maybe not now, maybe in the future, what I did now will eventually gives benefits to someone, something down there."

"That's how work gives meaning to me."


Those words not the exact lah apa dia cakap kan. Tapi itu lah yang aku ingat. Maybe aku ada rephrased sikit.  The point is alam kerja ni, satu hari nnt, akan mula rasa bosan dan akan ada hari-hari yg mendatang akan buat diri jadi demotivated. Hold on to principles mcm ni myb leh motivate diri sendiri. Paling tak pun, ingatlah, ape kita buat ni, semua keranaNya, dunia ni pinjaman sementara je.
