why do people work so hard?
I know few people who face this question quite often ... "For what are you working so hard?...go get some life man..."
Today I was talking to John when I found something that I have never thought about.
Is it for money? I am sure, no. They are getting enough of it. They are not paid more than others because they work 14 hours a day. They get recognition and money because they fulfill the expectations and then they go beyong expectations. So do they work hard for recognition and fame? Some of them do. And it is good to work for that. Then what about rest of them?
The ones who are not working for money, fame or recognition , they are working to achieve their dreams. But if they dont dream to become rich and famous, What do they dream about? Surely a beautiful and smart life/parttime partner, but their hardwork within company premises wont help them get one . Then what do they dream about? Why do they work so hard?
How you would like to see your office to be? A nice car picks you up from home, it drops you at the gate of a nice office. You enter and see a lovely environment. You meet your colleagues have some fun and by 10 you are on your seat. You open your laptop and it tells you what you have to do today and how you can achieve required results. You find every required thing ready for you and you are amazed that everything is working so flawlessly. You have fun in your office with no work pressure. you know that your work will be done withine time and everything is working fine. You are assured about company growth and know that your future is secured. What company expects from you is sincere 8 hours of work.
Did I mention anything that you would not like to have....? I think most of you would say "no". But who will do all this for you?

lucky ...
I have never regretted what I did in past or what I didn't. I think I have been lucky that I got into good college, then got great friends, got into a company I thought I will never join but finally I learned a lot in the company. Then when I left the company and join this one, I remember I did not give much time to research about the company. The only thing on my mind was to leave the company and join a new one. Had I been not so lucky, job-shift could have been a big mistake for me. but the new company had lots of good things for me.
I am not sure if I shall be lucky in future or not.
I sometimes think that every person in his life has to see downtime at some point in life. Just like I thought that every person meets an accident at least once and get admitted to hospital. for some people it could be just just fracture in leg..for some it could be a serious head injury.
I am happy that I am done with my share .... :) ..met with an accident in 1999 during first semester leaves...not many people from my batch know about this...it was just a shoulder dislocation.
I have not seen any downtime since I started my career. So i need to be prepared for the downtime of my life. I am just little worried that when will be that time. I wish that I dont have many dependent people around me at that time so that they dont get affected during that phase.
