Been an employee comes with lots of sacrifice first is that one is forced to like or love the job even when he is shocked because if that is not done it will be difficult for one to put in his best. I am yet to see someone who is totally satisfied with his place of work to my understanding we are not so satisfied even if that was a desired job because of the nature of man. Human needs cannot be satisfied we are born to always need something that is higher than what we have at the moment. That is why an employee will be in one work and begin his application for another because he perceives that the for coming job will be better than the one he have at hand. And when he finally gets there comparison will be the order of the day.
The first place I work was full of experience for me. As a secretary in an NGO I got to see some secrets of some jobs we have around the capital of my country. It is all about packaging, then I was staying with my brother that was after my university studies at LifeCamp Abuja, so every day I go to work at Central Area if am not mistaken. My transport fair was #500 everyday, I was running my online firm and getting money from there to sponsor the offline job. My employer kept packaging up till a day came I saw the secret. It's all packaging. We will attend one seminar after another, my knowledge kept growing while my pocket kept drying up. It came to the point that I was fed up and I decided to quit. Sometimes, my employer will even ask for money from me and it was a wonder for me.
A lot happened after I left but am happy I did. Fast forward till this day, I work from the confined of my home. Considering my location at the moment and the kind of jobs I see around, this is the best decision I have made for myself.
One thing I like about this place of my work is that it offers me time for myself, to a good extent I determine how it will turn out for me because as I have 24 hours in a day so as another. So the way I plan out my day will determine how it will all play out for me. This current place of work needs me to be focus mentally and physically to be able to have the best from it.
In this new venture for me, my mental state is highly a thing for me because if am not sound mentally I will not produce much and in turn tell in everything am doing. Another vital thing about my place of work is that it needs me to have my gadgets on because it involves online activities and I can't access my office if my gadgets is not on. Some weeks back, we experienced light issues and it was so terrible for me. I kept working from one place to another looking for how to power my gadgets, a times I will come online to discover there are lots of work for me and I will get confused of which one to attend to first. If there is not source of light for a long time for me, I may not quite but it will bring lots of set back to me which is not good at all.
What I do now is that I try my possible best to make sure that everything I need for my place of work is perfect condition. Also I try my best not to take up to much for myself to avoid that confusion because I still have my family to care for.
