It’s been 5.5 hours since I launched the site and already I’ve written soooo much… One of Murphy’s most famous laws goes: 90% of the work takes 10% of the time while the remaining 10% work will occupy 90% of the time… my blog is getting maximum attention from me right now, am wondering whether my initial burst of enthusiasm will sustain or whether all that I have written today will constitute the body of my blog…
Enthusiasm wanes quickly with me- be it yoga or jogging or even diets.. nothing ever stuck… The only thing I have been uniformly dedicated to in all my 22 years has been reading.. I’ve never tired of that no matter what.. All the other attempted pursuits withered and blew away like seasons…
Why is it so… why can’t we go to work everyday thinking this is my first day; I’ve got to prove myself.. Naah that never happens, we get accustomed to the way things work and settle down in our daily routines… Ennui follows suit and voila you have the modern day bored employee- the lacklustre individual who shrugs off any challenges and criticism with a “life goes on” attitude… Where goes the dedication, the Sincerity and the Innocence of the first Day first Job…
It gets corrupted.. gagged and shackled by chains of company bureaucracy and endless vibes of internal politics… The flame of ambition is squelched in these harsh environs of the concrete jungle.. What remains is a shadow- a mindless worker, who no longer craves to have his work appreciated for he knows if he does he will be saddled with more tedious tasks, a spiritless employee, who learns to time his coffee and lunch breaks in order to maximise out-of-cubicle Time… Is this what corporations want? Since when did work come to mean monotonous application of effort to moribund tasks? When did work get diluted from the lofty ideals of Aspiration blended with the heady intoxication of Success to something that has resulted in “Monday Morning Blues” and “Friday Night Fevers”…
Who can tell the answer? Who knows… Maybe the Blogger on the next Site….
